THE BULLPEN

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks! Your Pittsburgh Pirates are in the nation's capital tonight to start a 4-game series with the Washington Gnats. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates start RH Charlie Morton, 1-2 with a 3.19 ERA. Washington counters with RH Dan Haren, 4-10, 5.61 ERA. Haren's last 10 starts for the Gnats have all been losses. #11 would be heaven! 2)The Gnats were swept at home this weekend by the LA Codgers, giving them a 3-game losing streak. Bring lots of Hit, Run, & Score and give them #4! 3)The last time these teams faced each other, the Gnats took 2 of 3 from the Pirates at PNC. It's payback time! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
