THE BULLPEN

     Happy Bucs and Pucks Day! Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks! Our Pittsburgh Pirates return to the friendly confines of PNC Park tonight for the Pittsburgh portion of their home-and-home series with the Detroit Tigers. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Bucs couldn't generate much offense in yesterday's 8-2 loss in Detroit. Please always remember and don't ever forget: Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Buccos could only muster 5 hits in the loss. They banged out a season-high 17 the day before. We need a hit parade! 2)LH Francisco Liriano was scheduled to start tonight but he's out with a hamstring and is listed as day-to-day. RH Ryan Vogelsong takes his spot. You'll recall, Vogelsong was none too pleased when he failed to make the rotation out of spring training. Well, Vogey, here's your chance to shine. Gimme a W! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
