THE BULLPEN

I don't care if I ever get back! Your Pittsburgh Pirates open up a 3-game set tonight at PNC Park against the Los Angeles Codgers. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)Following yesterday's 5-3 win over Colorado, the Bucs improved their home record to 32-20, best in the NL. There's no place like home! 2)The Codgers were able to pull out a 4-3 win over St Louie last night. That puts St Louie and Mil in a tie for first in the NL Central. The Pirates are in second place, 1.5 games back. In the NL wildcard Washington, San Fran, Atlanta, and LA are tied for the two wildcard spots. The Pirates are two games out. This series is a good time to make some ground in that wildcard race. TCB-Take Care of Business! 3)The Pirates have won 6 straight at home. #7 would be heaven. Give 'em the ol' Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
