THE BULLPEN

     Put me in, coach! Our Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series in the desert this afternoon when they battle the Arizona Diamondbacks. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pirates look to cook up some Arizona Meatloaf today with some snake meat. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! 2)In last night's 7-1 loss to the Diamondbacks, the Bucs were only able to muster 1 run and 3 hits off a pitcher with an 8.44 ERA. That just won't do. We need more Hit, Run & Score! 3)LH Francisco Liriano, 1-1 with a 4.11 ERA starts for the Buccos today. In 15 1/3 innings this season, Frankie has issued 14 walks. The free pass will always bite you in the a$$. Be filthy, Frankie! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
