THE BULLPEN

Put me in coach! Your first-place Pittsburgh Pirates are in the Mile-High City tonight to battle the Colorado Rockheads. These are you keys to tonight's game. 1)After yesterday's dramatic, 10th-inning comeback win, the battlin' Bucs have 28 come-from-behind victories and are tied for 2nd in the Majors with 9 walk-off wins. Ain't no stoppin' us now! 2)The pitching matchups are a replay of the game from August 3. The Pirates send LH Francisco Liriano to the hill. At 12-4 with a 2.02 ERA this season, Frankie is both a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year and the Cy Young Award. The Rockheads start LH Jorge De La Rosa, 10-6 with a 3.31 ERA. Last week Frankie came out on top in the 5-2 win. Give Frankie plenty of support. Don't forget to pack the Hit, Run, & Score for this road trip! 3)Yes, it's with a heavy heart that the Pirates say "goodbye" to PNC Park where they just closed out an 11-game homestand with a 9-2 mark. Take that show on the road! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
