THE BULLPEN

Let's go, let's go, he can't hit, he can't hit. Your Pittsburgh Pirates try to salvage a win and right the ship this afternoon versus the Cincy Reds at PNC Park. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Pirates have lost 3 games straight. Will they lose 4 in a row? I say No, No, No! 2)Cincy has RH Homer Bailey on the hill. Bailey is 7-3 with a 4.68 ERA and is the last pitcher to no-hit the Bucs. The Pirates will send LH Jeff Locke, 0-1, 3.98 ERA to the hump. Locke has suffered some tough luck, of late. In his last 2 starts, he's pitched 15 innings allowing 3 earned runs with 12 strikeouts to go 0-1. Get the kid a win. Locke and load! 3)The Reds routed the Pirates last night 11-4. The Bucs bats and the Jolly Roger are MIA. Have you seen them? If so, please return to PNC Park, asap. We need to Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
