THE BULLPEN

     More than a feeling! Our Pittsburgh Pirates return to Boston this afternoon to finish out last week's series vs the Red Sox. These are your keys for today's game. 1)Cincy swept the Pirates with last night's 9-2 win. Yoi! The Buccos have dropped 3 in a row. I say no more. Hit, Run, & Score! 2)Pirates pitching gave up 22 runs in the 3-game series. Mrs. Black-N-Gold is no math whiz but doesn't that break down to about 7 runs per game? Hold 'em Bucs! 3)Meanwhile, the Pirates scored a total of 5 runs during this series. You can't win ballgames if you don't score runs. It's still early but the Pirates are sinking fast. Right the ship and raise the Jolly Roger! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
