THE BULLPEN

One, two, three strikes, you're out! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series tonight in Miami, FLA as they face the Fish. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates are 19 games over .500 at 60-41. The Fishies are 23 games under .500, 39-62. Last night, in a 2-0 defeat, the Minnows shut down the Sharks. You have to beat the good teams and beat up the bad teams. Luckily, both St. Louie and Cincy also lost. The Pirates try to avoid a 3rd loss in a row tonight. Go get 'em Bucs! 2)The Pirates have struck out 39 times in their last 3 games. They were also 0 for 6 with runners in scoring position in last night's defeat. We need some good wood! 3)The Pirates send RH Charlie Morton to the mound. Charlie is 2-2 with a 3.35 ERA. The Fish have RH Tom Koehler on the hump. Koehler is 2-5 with a 4.38 ERA. In 4 starts at Marlins Park, Koehler is 0-3 with a 6.35 ERA. Make him 0-4 with lots of Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
