THE BULLPEN

    Take me out to the ballgame! That's right, Mrs. Black-N-Gold and Brother Black-N-Gold return to PNC Park tonight to see our Pittsburgh Pirates open a 3-game interleague series with the Los Angeles Angels of......These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)With last night's 4-3 loss in 12 innings, the Pirates dropped their 3rd in a row. The ship is sinking fast. Avoid loss #4. Hit, Run, & Score! 2)Losses aren't the only things that are mounting for the Buccos. Injuries are starting to pile up, too. 4 players left last night's game with apparent injuries, C Francisco Cervelli (foot), CF Andrew McCutchen (thumb), INF David Freese (hand) and SS Jordy Mercer (elbow). During the 3-game losing streak, RF Gregory Polanco was relegated to a cameo due to a foot injury suffered during the series. It's time for the next man to step up! 3)The Angels will start RH Jered Weaver, 4-4, 5.40 ERA. The Buccos go with LH Francisco Liriano, 4-4, 4.63 ERA. Frankie looks to improve upon a woeful last start. He surrendered 5 runs in 6 innings, including 2 home runs to lefties, in a 6-2 thumping at Texas. Be filthy, Frankie! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
