THE BULLPEN

     One, two, three strikes, you're out! You Pittsburgh Pirates play their phinale with Philly today as they battle the Sillies at PNC Park. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pirates have won 3 in a row and 2 straight versus Philly as they look to send the Sillies packing today. A win today would give Philly it's 10th straight loss on the road. Hit 'em early, hit 'em often, hit 'em HARD with a big case of Hit, Run, & Score! 2)Philly will send LH Cole Hamels to the hill. Hamels is 5-5 with a 3.19 ERA. He'll face former teammate, Pirates RH AJ Burnett, 6-2, 2.11 ERA. AJ is coming off a tough-luck, 2-0 loss to Milwaukee in which he surrendered 1 run in 7 innings. Get AJ the W! 3)Since May 9, the Pirates have the best record in baseball at 21-11. At 22-41, Philly is the worst team in the Majors. Beat Philly silly! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
