THE BULLPEN

     I don't care if I ever get back! Your Pittsburgh Pirates take their show on the road as they open a 4-game series in San Diego tonight against the Padres. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)With yesterday's 5-2 comeback win over the Marlins, the Pirates have swept back-to-back series and have won 6 straight. #7 would be great! 2)This is the first times since 2013, when the Bucs were on their way to a 9-game winning streak, that the Pirates have reeled off 6 straight. Bring us more with some Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Pirates put RH AJ Burnett and his 4-1 record and 1.37 ERA, on the bump. The Padres counter with RH Ian Kennedy, 2-4, 6.11 ERA. In AJ you have the pitcher with the best ERA in the Majors. In Kennedy you have a pitcher with one of the worst ERAs. Score early, score often, score BIG! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
