THE BULLPEN

We're gonna make our dreams come true! Your Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series and their regular season home schedule today against the Milwaukee Brewers. These are your keys to today's game. 1)The Pirates lost a heart breaker last night, dropping game 2 to the Brewers 1-0. Had they won, they would have been tied for the top Wildcard spot with San Fran, who also lost. All season long the Pirates have shown that they're a resilient, tenacious team with their bounce-back ability. And after seeing reigning MVP CF Andrew McCutchen get beaned not once, but twice, last night, it's time to retaliate, BIG TIME. Hit them early, hit them often, hit them HARD! 2)The Pirates were unable to capitalize off of opportunities last night, leaving 10 men on base and going 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)The Brewers start RH Wily Peralta, 16-10, 3.70 ERA. The Pirates counter with RH Vance Worley, 7-4, 3.18 ERA. The last time the Bucs faced Peralta, they torched him for 8 runs, with 3 homers, in 5 innings, for a 10-2 Pirates win. It's time for payback. Please always remember and don't ever forget: Hit, Run, & Score! It's clobberin' time! All hands on deck! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
