THE BULLPEN

The crack of the bat, the thrill of the hit! Your first-place Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series tonight against St Louie at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. Where do I begin? Watching yesterday's doubleheader sweep of the Cards, I came up with tons of keys. I've got more keys than a locksmith. I've got more keys than a piano. But, here goes....1)Your first-place Pirates, at 64-42, .604 winning percentage, have the best, repeat, the best record in the majors. They haven't been in first place this late in the season since they last went to the postseason in 1992. Coincidence? I think not! 2)Two teams collide. St Louie has the best offense in the NL. The Pirates have the best pitching in MLB. The Pirates have grounded these birds, holding them to 3 runs in 29 innings. Meanwhile, the Bucco bats have erupted for 17 runs in 29 innings. St Louie has dropped 6 in a row. The Pirates have won 3 straight. Get #4 with some more Hit, Run, & Score! 3)Pirates starter, LH Jeff Locke, is 9-3 with a 2.15 ERA. However, Lockey is coming off of his worst start of the year in Miami. How do you follow-up the worst start of the year? Go out and Locke 'em down with your best start of the year! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
