Fun fact if you take out the records of these two teams when playing each other and their records are nearly identical. The Pirates would be 28-34 and the Cubs would be 27-33.

Pitching matchups don't give too much hope for things changing this series:
Charlie Morton vs Edwin Jackson
Vance Worley vs Travis Wood
Brandon Crumpton vs Jason Hammel

Well my Roberto Clemente comparison is looking good. Castro ops is great for a ss. As of right now, he should be the second all star for ss

Also, right now Castro is on pace for 25 plus homer and he has hit 8 on the road. The wind is going to blow out in wrigley for the next half of the season.

This is why baseball is beautiful. It's a game of ups and downs and people completely over react now a days. I will say Rizzo impressed me with his changes this year and Castro has just showing flashes of what he is. Two 24 year olds got room to grow

I'd consider trading him straight up for Kershaw...

Maybe.
