THE BULLPEN

     Batter up! Our Pittsburgh Pirates wrap up their series with the Rangers this afternoon in Texas. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The Bucs look to bounce back in today's rubber game following last night's 5-2 loss. Today, they attempt to make some Texas Meatloaf. 2 outta 3 ain't bad! 2)The Pirates were a putrid 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position in last night's game. Bring 'em on home with more Hit, Run, & Score! 3)The Pirates will start LH Francisco Liriano, 4-3, 4.30 ERA. Texas trots out LH Martin Perez, 2-4, 3.13 ERA. Frankie looks to get on on track on the road today. He has had his issues away from home, going 1-2 with a 7.00 ERA. Be filthy, Frankie! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
