THE BULLPEN

Hey batter, batter, batter! Your Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road to the friendly confines of Wrigley Field tonight where they'll battle their division foes, the Chicago Scrubs. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)The Pirates pitching staff has impressed in the early going, ranking in the top 5 in the majors in ERA-2.18, quality starts-4, WHIP-1.06 and BAA-.206. Line 'em up, and watch 'em fall! 2)The Pirates will start RH Charlie Morton who go not decision in last week's 16-inning, 4-3 win over the Scrubs. In his last 12 regular-season starts, Morton is 4-1 with a 2.45 ERA, inducing 78.7% ground balls. Grind 'em up, Ground Chuck! 3)After exploding for 12 runs on Friday night, the Pirates have only scored 3 in their last 2 games. Break out the bats and the Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
