THE BULLPEN

Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks! Your Pittsburgh Pirates begin a 3-game series against the defending NL Champion St Louie Cardinals tonight at PNC Park. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Cardinals have RH Shelby Miller on the mound. Miller was 15-9 with a 3.06 ERA last season. It's Miller Time with a big, mug o' Hit, Run, & Score! 2)The Pirates go with RH Gerrit Cole. Cole looks to improve upon his impressive rookie campaign of last season when he was 10-7 with a 3.22 ERA. All aboard the Cole Train! 3)Both the Pirates and St Louie sit atop the NL Central in the early going at 2-1. Both have a +1 run differential. After taking 2 of 3 in their opening series, the Pirates look to win another series against a division opponent. Let's see Cole45 shoot down the Red Birds! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
