THE BULLPEN

    Take me out to the ballgame! Our Pittsburgh Pirates return home to PNC Park tonight to begin a 3-game series with the New York Yankees. These are your keys for tonight's game. 1)Following their 3rd straight 2-1 defeat in St Louie, it's become clear that the wind was blowing out of the Windy City last weekend when the Bucs swept the Cubs, 'cause the offense is gone with the wind. Wake up the bats. There's always room for more Hit, Run & Score! 2)Speaking of scoring, the Bucs are undefeated when scoring 4 or more runs in a game. Meanwhile, they're winless when they score less then 4 runs in a game. Score early, score often, score BIG! 3)Yankees lefty CC Sabathia, 2-0, 1.47 ERA gets the start tonight. He'll face Pirates RH Tyler Glasnow, 0-1, 12.15 ERA. Glasnow has his ERA down from 27.00 after his 1st start to 12.75 following his 2nd game. Has that what the Pittsburgh Baseball Club has become? We're encouraged when a guy is toting an ERA north of 12 into a game? I realize Glasnow is young and he's got electric stuff but enough already. What's all this lying around stuff? Yes, Marte is lost for half a season. But it's not over until we decide it is. Stop SUCKN and start BUCN! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
