THE BULLPEN

     Funny, you like samurai swords....I like baseball! Our Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series this afternoon with the Miami Marlins at PNC Park. These are your keys for today's game. 1)Someone throw the Pirates a life-preserver because they're sinking fast. They are now 2 games behind for the 2nd wild card spot and have allowed the Marlins to get ahead of them at just 1.5 games back. This is thanks to dropping the 1st 2 games of this series to the Fish. They try to salvage a W today. Set sail for the win column! 2)Last night's lackluster performance didn't help matters. They only managed 1 run in a 3-1 loss on 4 hits and 2B Josh Harrison had 3 of them. We need alot more Hit, Run & Score! 3)We'll see if the rain can hold off today and they get this game in the books. Rain, rain, go away, the Buccos need a win today! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
