THE BULLPEN

Let's play two! Happy Bucs & Pucks Day! Your Pittsburgh Pirates close out their season-opening series this afternoon with the Chicago Scrubs at PNC Park. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Scrubs have RH Jason Hammel on the hump. Hammel was 7-8 with a 4.97 ERA last season. The Pirates typically make pitchers like this look like Cy Young. Say "sayonara" to Cy Young with plenty o' Hit, Run, & Score! 2)The Pirates start LH Wandy Rodriguez. Wandy was 6-4 with a 3.59 ERA last year prior to landing on the DL for most of the season. Help us, Wandy! 3)The Pirates look to sweep the Scrubs straight outta town. Break out the brooms! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
