It's weird that I'm excited to watch the Pirates play tonight, right? After not seeing them at all over the weekend, I'm honestly curious to see what they do against the Phillies this week. I'm not optimistic about the result, I'm just curious to see how these guys stack up against a good team after a week in which we beat up on some bad ones. Ross Ohlendorf and...
