THE BULLPEN

     Raise that flag, wave it wide and high! Your Pittsburgh Pirates open a 4-game set tonight at PNC Park against the defending Champion San Fran Giants. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Battlin' Buccos have won 6 of their last 7 and 10 of 13. Win, Raise, Repeat! 2)The World Champs return to the scene of the crime. Last time through the 'Burgh, the Giants ended the Pirates playoff hopes, blanking the Bucs 8-0 in last year's Wild Card. It's payback time!  3)San Fran starts Jake Peavy, 3-5, 4.18 ERA. The Pirates will put RH Charlie Morton, 7-4, 4.36 ERA on the mound. Give Ground Chuck something to work with. Score early, score often, score BIG with some Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
