THE BULLPEN

     Riding that train! Your Pittsburgh Pirates are back at it again this afternoon as they battle the World Champion San Fran Giants at PNC Park. These are your keys for today's game. 1)San Fran starts RH Mike Leake, 9-6, 3.52 ERA. He's no stranger to the Bucs as he's given them fits for years when he was with Cincy. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD with a case of Hit, Run, & Score! 2)The Pirates will counter with RH Gerrit Cole, 14-7, 2.61 ERA. Cole is 0-for-August and needs to get back on the winning track. For his career, he's 3-0 with a 2.11 ERA versus San Fran. Ride the Cole Train to a win! 3)Mrs. Black-N-Gold has some good news and some bad news. The bad news is our Buccos weren't able to find the win column last night as they fell to the Giants 6-4. The good news is they lost no ground to St Louie who lost in San Diego. But The Cubbies won yesterday, gaining on the Black-N-Gold for the top Wild Card spot. Get back in the win column today. Mrs. Black-N-Gold and Brother Black-N-Gold will be there to cheer you to victory. Raise the Jolly Roger! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
