THE BULLPEN

     Happy Opening Day! Play ball! That cry will ring out from Fenway Park today as our Pittsburgh Pirates begin their 131st season in Boston to battle the Red Sox. It's a re-match of the 1903 World Series. That may be as close as our Buccos get to the World Series this season. These are your keys for today's game. 1)The talk all spring has been the Bucs new outfield alignment: LF Gregory Polanco, CF Starling Marte, and RF Andrew McCutchen. The New Outfield of Dreams! 2)RH Gerrit Cole faces reigning AL Cy Young Award-winner, RH Rick Porcello. It's time to be the Ace and set the pace. All aboard the Cole Train for a win! 3)The Pirates will get to see the Red Sox raise their AL East banner during the pre-game festivities. If the Pirates hope to "Raise It" this season Mrs. Black-N-Gold will tell you what they need to do. Hit, Run, & Score! Let's Go Bucs!!!!!
