Shiver Me Timbers! 'Tis a Swirly Van!: Pirates at Phillies Game Thread, July 31, 2011

The Phillies look for the home sweep against their typical inexplicable nemesis, the Pittsburgh Pirates, and look to do so behind rookie starter Vance Worley and his .233 BABIP. Jeff Karstens, whose 2.41 ERA is supported by a hilarious .243 BABIP, gets the ball for the Pirates. It's the Good Luck Kids today in Philly.

Hunter Pence.

Domonic Brown.

Jessica Alba sex tape.
