THE BULLPEN

     Are you going to San Francisco? Our Pittsburgh Pirates continue their west cost road trip tonight in San Francisco when the square off against the Giants. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)After leaving 18 men on base in Saturday's loss, the Pirates plated 11 runs on 16 hits en route to an 11-3 victory. 3 of those hits, from Jordy Mercer, Sean Rodriguez and Jung Ho Kang, left the yard. Chicks dig the long ball! 2)With the win the Pirates have won 3 straight series. Get series #4. Hit, Run & Score! 3)This will be an emotional game for Bucs starter, RH Ryan Vogelsong, tonight. Vogey was an All-Star and won 2 World Series during his stint with San Fran. Vogey is 1-2 with a 2.67 ERA. He'll face San Fran LH Matt Moore, 0-1, 3.00 ERA. Vogey has looked good since his return from the DL but he hasn't gotten much run support. If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
