THE BULLPEN

Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon at PNC Park. These are your keys to today's game. 1)With last night's 11-inning, 3-2, walk-off victory, the Pirates can sweep the Rockies back to Colorado today. Time to clean house! 2)Both Cincy and Milwaukee lost yesterday. This puts the Pirates in a tie with Cincy for second place in the NL Central, 2.5 games behind both St. Louie and Milwaukee who are tied for first. Movin' on up! 3)Even with the win last night, the Pirates were an unimpressive 4 for 11 with runners in scoring position. Don't leave those ducks on the pond. Hit, Run, & Score, oh my! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
