THE BULLPEN

Root, root, root for the home team! It's another edition of Bucs & Pucks as your Pittsburgh Pirates begin a 2-game series tonight at PNC Park versus the Seattle Ancient Mariners. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Pirates catcher Russell Martin leads the league by throwing out 7 attempted base stealers this season. Go ahead, run on Russell. I dare ya! 2)Seattle starter Aaron Harang has won 5 in a row at PNC. Time to shut him down! 3)Former Pirates OF and ROY Jason Bay returns to the 'Burgh. In his career, Bay is batting .143 against his old team. I sure hope that hitting is contagious to his current teammates. Show him up with the Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
