THE BULLPEN

     Root, root, root for the home team! Our Pittsburgh Pirates return home to the friendly confines of PNC Park tonight when they open a 3-game series with the Cincy Reds. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Bucs have won 4 in a row. #5 would not be jive! 2)Meanwhile, Cincy has lost 4 straight. #5 would be great! 3)Opening weekend, the Buccos traveled to Cincy and were lucky to get out with 1 win in the 3 game set. It always seems like these guys have our number. They're 9-13 and just 1-8 on the road. You've got to beat the good teams and beat up the bad teams. Score early, score often, score BIG with a heavy load of Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
