THE BULLPEN

     I'm in a New York state of mind! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their road show in New York tonight as they battle the NL East-leading Mets. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)With last night's edging of the Mets, 3-2 in 10 innings, the Bucs have won 6 straight in extras. Extra, extra, read all about it! 2)Including last season against the Mets, the Pirates have won 5 straight. #6 would be great! 3)The Buccos send RH Charlie Morton, 7-4, 4.48 ERA to the mound. New York will go with LH Jonathon Niese, 7-9, 3.46 ERA. In his last 3 starts the lefty is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD with a big case of Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
