THE BULLPEN

     Rounding third and heading for home! Your Pittsburgh Pirates close out their road trip with today's finale in St Louie against the Cardinals. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pirates dropped their 2nd straight to St Louie, 2-1 yesterday in 11 innings. The Buccos bats were lifeless, going 0 for 12 with runners in scoring position and leaving 18 Bucs on the pond. This team is a contender? I don't know if the Pirates got the memo but the object of the game is Hit, Run & Score, Oh my! 2)Things don't get any easier for the Pirates today as RH Vance Worley, 2-2, 4.50 ERA faces RH Michael Wacha, 4-0, 2.42 ERA. Unleash the Vanimal! 3)This feast or famine offense is really making Mrs. Black-N-Gold starved for some runs. Find the scoreboard, find the win column & raise the Jolly Roger! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
