THE BULLPEN

     One, two, three strikes you're out at the old ballgame! Our Pittsburgh Pirates close out their home schedule for the 2016 season tonight at PNC Park when they clash one last time with the Chicago Cubs. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Break up the Bucs. The Pirates, finally, found the win column with an 8-4 victory over the Cubs last night. They'll need to win out if they want to avoid a losing season and go 81-81. Mrs. Black-N-Gold always worries that the next losing season will be the first of 21 straight losing seasons. Refuse to lose! 2)When last we saw young RH Jameson Taillon last night, he was receiving the hugs not drugs treatment in the dugout, on his way to a win with a 7-1 lead. The bullpen tried to give this one away but hung on 8-4. You got to know when to hold 'em! 3)Considering the aforementioned bullpen meltdown, it's always best to remember this mantra: There's always room for more Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
