Pirates vs. Brewers: Crucial Series Ahead for Pittsburgh's Season

These two teams too could get active. It's the Pirates and the Brewers. Boy, it's important, I think, for Pittsburgh not to get blown out in Milwaukee this week. Chandler, Jones, Skeens, Ashcraft on paper, that's good. But the Brewers are the best team in baseball at home, Tom. I'm a little worried that the Pirates season comes to a close this week. Yeah, this is a spot where, listen, if you can't get two out of four against the Brewers, that's a tall task. The Brewers are awesome at home, on the road, in close games. They have a great back end of the bullpen. Their offense is kind of scrappy when it's all said and done. But they need to split this series, the Pirates do. But this also needs to be preceded by them making moves at the deadline. If they don't make moves and don't remedy some of the issues that they have, and then they go and win this series, it's like, oh, well, we should have done a little bit more. So I see this as a second step after them needing to win game, needing to make moves and then win games.
