Not much time for commentary right now, but:
-P- Liriano and Blanton will provide insurance in case Cole isn't able to work deep into the game for some reason.
-P- Obviously, the Pirates don't need quite as many pitchers as they usually would because this roster is only for one game, so the Bucs will have a couple extra spots for bench players.
