It's July, which means we're nearing the halfway point of the season and it will be less than a month till most people tune out completely to see what the Steelers are up to in Latrobe.  So it's a good time to do battle with our cross-state rivals in Filthadelphia.  Will definitely be a tough series, but if we can get decent starts from Maholm and Karstens, we just might be able to take a split out of this 4-game series.
