THE BULLPEN

     Shlemiel, schlemazel! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in Milwaukee tonight as they battle the Brewers. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Following last night's 7-4 loss, the Pirates have dropped 2 straight. #3 would not be great. Right the ship and raise the Jolly Roger! 2)Last night's loss coupled with St Louie's win now puts the Bucs at 6 back in the NL Central. Don't look now but the Cubbies are 4.5 back in the Wild Card, too. The Buccos look to get back in the win column as they start lefty Jeff Locke, 7-8, 4.46 ERA. Locke continues to fight for his spot in the rotation and help the Pirates avoid their first 3-game losing streak in 6 weeks. Time to shine! 3)The Bucs will face Brewers rookie R Zach Davies. Give him a big welcome to the Bigs. Hit him early, hit him often, hit him HARD with some Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
