THE BULLPEN

Put me in coach! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series in Atlanta tonight with the Braves. These are your keys to tonight's game. 1)With Milwaukee's loss last night to Cincy, the Pirates 3-2 win over Atl returned them to the postseason for the 2nd straight year. How appropriate that the Bucs were able to shut up the tomahawk chop and raise the Jolly Roger and pop bottles in Atlanta. Still, chill the champagne just a bit. Save it for the division. Save it for the pennant. Save it for the Series! 2)The Pirates are 16-3 in their last 19 games. Keep stacking them in the win column. The Bucs are going all the way! Keep on BUCN! 3)The Pirates send LH Jeff Locke, 7-5, 3.60 ERA to the hill. Atlanta will go with RH Julio Teheran, 13-13, 2.88 ERA. There's still a lot of baseball to play as the Pirates hold the top spot in the Wildcard and are merely 1.5 games behind St Louie in the NL Central. Locke and load, Hit, Run, & Score, Raise the Jolly Roger and tell Atlanta to put the tomahawk chop where the sun don't shine! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
