The Bucs are going all the way, all the way, all the way! Your Pittsburgh Pirates begin the second half of the season with a 3-game series against the Philthedelphia Sillies that kicks off tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates start LH Jeff Locke. Locke is locked in at 7-1 with a 2.06 ERA. He's unbeaten in 15 straight starts. The last Pirate to accomplish that was Dock Ellis in 1971. Locke and load! 2)The Pirates were off yesterday after coming off of a 14-inning, 2-1 victory over Milwaukee to extend their winning streak to 9 in a row. They're also 9-0 after off-days. Let's get these streaks to 10 with lots of Hit, Run, & Score, oh my! 3)The Sillies are 20-26 on the road. The Pirates are 28-13 at home. What better place to beat our interstate rivals than the friendly confines of PNC Park. There's no place like home! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
UPDATE: I heard on the radio this morning Jeff Locke will not start because he warmed up during Sunday's game. The Pirates haven't named a starter for tonight's game yet. So it won't be "Locke and load" tonight but RE-Load as the Pirates try to find another canon to shoot at the Sillies. Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
