Normally don't start threads, let alone game threads.. but it's my birthday and I hope they can deliver me a win and keep the streak going..

Happy birthday, but you know we're going to blame you if the winning streak ends for starting a thread with no lineup.
Well if they lose, no more birthdays for you (though events on saturday may take of that for all of us, so I hear). A lot of pressure
Happy B-day by the way.

Bruce scratched due to illness.
Rolen batting 5th now.
Lewis batting 6th.
Charlie Morton on the bump for the Pirates today. Say what you will about the guy, but THIS YEAR, he's pitching VERY well.
4-1, 3.13 era
And lets not forget the last time he faced us. Complete game 5 hits, 1 run. Please, let's NOT take the Pirates lightly. I know their history too...but THIS version of the Buccos are competitive. We play solidly though and we should take care of business. Get it done boys!
Lost 6 in a row right after they won 6 out of 8. I'm not trying to make excuses or anything...just saying don't overlook them...it'll come back and bite us.
It seems like anytime the Pirates meet the Brewers they get swept. I wasn't surprised that they went on a losing streak. Brew crew have really got their number for some reason.
