THE BULLPEN

The crack of the bat, the thrill of the hit! Your first-place Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series tonight against the Colorado Rockheads. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates were pounded last night by the Rockheads, 10-1. En route to that shellacking, the Pirates recorded 10 hits but left 12 men on the basepaths. You can't leave your ducks on the pond, especially in enemy territory! 2)In the past 20 losing seasons, the Pirates would normally go into a tailspin over such an embarrassing loss. Great teams beat the good teams and beat up the bad teams. The Rockheads are a bad team. Shake it off, dust yourselves off and break out the Hit, Run, & Score! 3)In their last 10 games, the Pirates are 7-3. The Rockheads are 2-8 in their last 10. Rock this town! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
