THE BULLPEN

     Hit the ball and touch 'em all! Your Pittsburgh Pirates close out their series in San Fran this afternoon against the Giants. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pirates go for 3 in a row in San Francisco following last night's 7-4 win. If it's 3, it's for me! 2)Pirates lefty Francisco Liriano, 2-4, 3.47 ERA will face San Fran RH Tim Hudson, 3-4, 4.62 ERA. Frankie had a 2-0 lead when he was pulled in his last start. That game ended as a 6-2, walk-off loss in San Diego. Clean house in San Fran today. Be filthy, Frankie! 3)CF Andrew McCutchen continued to rip NL pitching, going 4 for 5 in last night's win, with 2 runs scored and 2 RBIs. Cutch was a homer short of the cycle. Now that's CUTCHN. Keep on BUCN! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
