THE BULLPEN

Let's go, let's go, he can't hit, he can't hit! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in Cincy this afternoon against the Reds. These are your keys to today's game. 1)With last night's 3-1 sinking of Cincy, the Pirates have won 5 of 6 and 17 of 21. This afternoon they go for 3 in a row. If it's 3, it's for me! 2)The Pirates send LH Francisco Liriano, 7-10, 3.32 ERA to the mound. Cincy goes with RH Alfredo Simon, 15-10, 3.34 ERA. Frankie has surrendered just 1 earned run in his last 28 innings. Fire 'em up, Filthy Frankie! 3)It's been a September to remember as the Pirates boast the best record in baseball this month. Meanwhile, Cincy has the worst mark in the Majors since the All-Star Break. Feast on Chicken Alfredo tonight with a big helping of Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
