THE BULLPEN

Let's go, let's go, he can't hit, he can't hit! The Pirates look to sample a little of the local cuisine in St Louie today and serve up some Meatloaf because, in this case, 2 outta 3 wouldn't be bad. Keys to the game. 1)St Louie starter Jaime Garcia gave up 10 runs over 8 innings in his last 2 starts. This is his first start since coming off of the DL. Welcome him back by knocking him around! 2)Pirates starter Jeff Karstens beat St Louie at the Busch on 6/30. He held them to 2 runs and 4 hits over 7 innings. We could use another quality start like that today! 3)The Pirates were 1 for 14 with runners in scoring position yesterday. You can't win ballgames like that. How about a little of the old Hit, Run, Score?!?! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
