Top of the 4th

More kudos to McKechnie's music man for giving The Cure's "Friday I'm In Love" a spin.

Chances are diehard fans of the Cure - a band known for a darker brand of pop - don't much care for the shamelessly sunny "Friday I'm In Love." But it's a killer track, and it fits right along with the bouncy vibe here at McKechnie.

And it's nice to see a crowded park. Clearwater was a ghost town on Thursday - granted, it was about 15 degrees cooler - but McKechnie Field is filled with bodies. Even the bleachers, practically empty around game time, are pretty packed.

Sean Burnett gives them something to cheer for. Flashing a textbook figure-four slide, Burnett snares Pedro Feliz's swining bunt, and, from his knee, fires to first to get him by a step.

Wes Helms grounds out harmlessly, and Pittsburgh is up 2-1.
