THE BULLPEN

     Happy Bucs & Pucks Day! Put me in coach! Our Pittsburgh Pirates close our their series in San Diego tonight versus the Padres. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates will start RH Gerrit Cole, 0-2, 4.22 ERA. He'll face San Diego RH James Shields, 0-2, 4.05 ERA. Hop aboard the Cole Train for a win! 2)The Pirates have not scored a single run in support of Cole this season. That just won't do. Break out the Hit, Run, & Score! 3)Following last night's 8-2 loss in San Diego, the Bucs fell to just 2-5 on the road. They're in danger of being swept by the Padres. Got to pack up that Jolly Roger for road trips. Raise the Jolly Roger! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
