THE BULLPEN

     Happy Bucs & Pucks Day! Put me in coach! Our Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series with the Colorado Rockies this afternoon. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Pirates left 10 men on base and were 1 for 12 in yesterday's rain-soaked 5-1 loss. You can't leave runners on the basepaths. When opportunity knocks, answer the door with some Hit, Run, & Score! 2)Yesterday's game was tied 1-1 in the top of the 9th. With 2 outs a walk, 2 errors, a wild pitch and a home run put the Bucs in the loss column. More opportunities flushed away. Everyone makes mistakes. But does everyone make them at the same time? Tighten up that D! 3)The Pirates have scored just 3 runs in the first two games of this series. Luckily, they won the opener. It's time to make some home made Meatloaf. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
