THE BULLPEN

     The crack of the bat, the thrill of the hit! Your Pittsburgh Pirates continue their series tonight against the Arizona D-Bags at PNC Park. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Mrs. Black-N-Gold didn't realize she needed to remind our Buccos that it is not a  good idea to take the DBags too lightly. However, following last night's 4-1 defeat, I guess it needs to be said. Don't sleep on the DBags! 2)Tonight they'll face another mediocre pitcher in RH Chase Anderson, 5-5, 4.31 ERA. These guys aren't the second-coming of Cy Young for crying out loud. The Buccos bats went to sleep last night, leaving 9 men on base and going 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. We need more Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Bucs start LH Francisco Liriano, 8-6, 3.19 ERA. The Pirates have won 8 straight when Frankie starts. #9 would be fine! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
