THE BULLPEN

The Bucs are going all the way, all the way, all the way! Your Pittsburgh Pirates can wrap up the NLDS today with a win at PNC versus St Louie (weather permitting). These are your keys to today's game. 1)Stick to the game plan.Work the counts, keep St Louie off of the basepaths, and take advantage of their miscues. When you add up these factors, it equals victory for the Bucs. In their last 8 of 10 games, including the regular season, the Pirates have won 8 of their last 10. Nine would be fine! 2)The Pirates start RH Charlie Morton, 7-4, 3.26 ERA. St Louie counters with rookie RH Michael Wacha. In Morton's last 7 starts against St Louie, he is 0-6 with a 6.82 ERA. Help Ground Chuck out by bringing a big case of Hit, Run, & Score! 3)Wacha beat the Pirates 9-2 on September 8, keeping them scoreless through 7 innings. Clip this bird's wings! This is an elimination game today. Take care of business at home and you don't have to go back on the road to close it! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
