THE BULLPEN

Hey batter, batter, batter! Can the Pittsburgh Pirates get on track and finish with a winning record? We'll see when they start a weekend series this afternoon in Chi-Town. Keys to the game. 1)The Cubbies are 31 games under .500. You'd think the Bucs would be able to beat them, right? 2)Cubs rookie starter Chris Rusin is 0-2 with a 5.73 ERA. Typically, the Pirates make a guy like this look like Cy Young. Let's hope they don't today! 3)The Pirates have won 8 of the last 12 in the Windy City. I hope the wind is blowing out for the Bucs today! Come on! This winning 1 game a week is getting really old. Get to BUCN with the old Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
