THE BULLPEN

The crack of the bat, the thrill of the hit! Your Pittsburgh Pirates try to get back in the win column tonight in the Windy City as they battle the Chicago Scrubs at Wrigley Field. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Scrubs have won 9 of their last 11 at the friendly confines. We need a home invasion, Black-N-Gold style! 2)Lookout out for the Scrubs, they're three games behind the Bucs for fourth place in the NL Central Division. No one wants to be on the outside, looking in. We need a win! 3)The Scrubs will start LH Travis Wood, 7-5, 4.48 ERA. The Pirates counter with RH Vance Worley, 0-0, 0.00 ERA. Wood has won 4 out of his last 5 and has a 1.80 ERA in those 4 wins. The Worley-Bird went 7 shutout innings in his Pirates debut against Miami and got no decision. He has held the Scrubs to 2 runs in 15 career innings. Help the Worley-Bird fly. Get some good Wood today. Hit, Run & Score and raise that Jolly Roger! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
