THE BULLPEN

     Let's go crazy, let's get nuts! Your Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road to Minnesota tonight as they open a 2-game series with the Twins. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates have RH Charlie Morton on the mound. He has a 6-4 mark with a 4.59 ERA. In Morton's first 5 starts of the season, he posted a 1.62 ERA. In his last 6 he carries a 7.76 ERA. We need Morton to get back to being Ground Chuck. Grind 'em up! 2)The Twins trot out RH Mike Pelfrey, 5-7, 3.94 ERA. Pelfrey faced the Bucs back on May 20 and over 6 innings allowed just 1 run. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD with a big stick of Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Twins visited the Buccos back in May and took the 2-game series. It's payback time! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
