THE BULLPEN

     Root, root, root for the home team! Your Pittsburgh Pirates begin a 3-game set tonight versus the Miami Marlins at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)With yesterday's 9-1 mauling of the Mets to complete the sweep, the Pirates outscored NY 21-4 in the 3 game series. We want more Hit, Run, & Score! 2)It's not all about the hitting, though. For the first time since '69, the Pirates had 3 starters throw for 10 strikeouts or better in 3 straight games. Cole Train and AJ registered 10, respectively and Frankie fanned 12 yesterday. RH Charlie Morton makes his season-debut today and looks to join the fray. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! 3)At 21-22, the Pirates can get back to .500 tonight with a win as they quietly move up the NL Central ladder where they're in 3rd place, 6.5 games in back of St Louie. The Marlins carry the worst record in the NL at 18-27, .400. Sink the Fish! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
