THE BULLPEN

Root, root, root for the home team! Your Pittsburgh Pirates begin a HUGE 5-game series tonight versus St Louie at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates have taken 3 of 5 from St Louie this season. As you're well aware, St Louie sits atop the NL Central with the Pirates close behind. Knock the Cards off of their perch! 2)The Pirates are the worst in MLB in sacrifice flies. You can't afford to leave runners on the base paths. Take advantage of every opportunity you have. Sac up, Bucs! 3)St Louie only scored 3 runs as they were swept in a 3-game set by the Bravos. Kick 'em while their down with plenty of Hit, Run, & Score! To be the best, you have to beat the best. Whooo! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
