THE BULLPEN

     Happy Bucs & Pucks Day! Play ball! Our Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in the desert tonight when they battle the Arizona Diamondbacks. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Last night en route to the Bucs 8-7 edging of the Diamondbacks, the Pirates pounded 3 homers. RF Gregory Polanco and SS Jordy Mercer cracked their 1st homers of the season. UTL Sean Rodriguez knocked home run #2. Chicks dig the long ball! 2)The Buccos let the D-Bags creep back into this one. That's why we always need more Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Pirates pitch RH Juan Nicasio, 2-1, 4.80 ERA. He faces Arizona RH Rubby De La Rosa, 1-3, 8.44 ERA. Win one for Juan! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
