THE BULLPEN

All hands on deck! Your Pittsburgh Pirates try to salvage a win in St Louie this afternoon as they wrap up their series with the Cardinals. These are your keys to today's game 1)The Pirates have dropped three straight and are fading in both the NL Central and Wildcard races. They went 0 for 3 with runners in scoring position in last night's latest defeat, 6-4 to St Louie. Can't leave those Bucs on the pond! 2)Last night's losing pitcher, Jeff Locke surrendered 5 walks that led to 4 of the Cardinals runs. St Louie is a team that takes advantage of opportunities. The free pass will come back to bite you in the a**! 3)The Pirates are 17-28 during the day, worst in the Majors. Beat the living daylights out of the ball. Hit, Run & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
