Bucs Sweep Cubbies

The Pittsburgh Pirates completed the season opening sweep of the hated Chicago Cubs.

You couldn't tell by the look on Manager Clint Hurdle's face, when asked about the game Hurdle stated "We were lucky to win. Committing 6 errors and still winning is complete luck. We are going to have to look at what the problem is and fix it fast."

Garrett Jones had a monster game knocking in 5 runs, while hitting a 3-Run HR and a 2-Run single.

The Buccos travel to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals in a 3 game set. Ross Ohlendorf takes the mound tomorrow afternoon for the Pirates.
