THE BULLPEN

     There's no crying in baseball! Our Pittsburgh Pirates look to get back in the win column when they take their show on the road to Atlanta for a 3-game set starting tonight. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)The Pirates desperately need to find the win column following their lost weekend in Milwaukee. With Sunday's 4-2 defeat, the Brewers broke out the brooms to sweep the Bucs out of town. In that series, the Pirates scored just 6 runs in 3 games. Need Mrs. Black-N-Gold say more? You gotta Hit, Run, & Score! 2)At 37-68, the Braves have the worst record in the Majors. Ok, Buccos. You couldn't even squeeze 1 win out of Milwaukee. If you can't beat the worst steam in baseball, who can you beat? Following yesterday's baffling deadline deals, are the Bucs raising the white flag? Mrs. Black-N-Gold hopes that's not the case. Raise the Jolly Roger! 3)Pirates RH Gerrit Cole, 6-6, 2.78 ERA will face Atlanta RH Mike Foltynewicz, 4-4, 4.30 ERA. Here's another mediocre pitcher that the Bucs will make look like the second-coming of Cy Young. And our ace? What ace? At 6-6, Cole has not often pitched like the #1 overall selection that the Pirates made him in back in 2011. You''re 4 games out of the Wild Card, Bucs. What are you going to do about that? Hop on the Cole Train for a win! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
