i dont agree with u guys that our bullpen "sucks". we have some good arms that showed some promise last year and while me may have gotten rid of sherrill it was necessary to add an arm to the starting rotation which was last years weak point thanks to Weaver and Felatio Ramirez. Granted giving up sherrill and jones for bedard was alot but its a risk i can live with. i do agree that our division isnt the best this year so hopefully we can pull something together. i wouldve liked to see us get some production out of first base this year but it looks like its going to be another year batting around .205 for Richie, shit he's already getting booed by the hometown fans

The bullpen is hurting us in a major right now. Our starting pitching is second in the league with a 2.19 ERA, but we don't get enough out of the relief and run support. Morrow has been injured and he's been throwing well in the minors so hopefully he can get back to the majors soon. The pen used to be the strength of the team a couple a couple years ago. It's still early in the season so you can't read too much into it but I think they'll get back on track....

Yep our bullpen is bad right now no doubt about it but are offense isnt reallly doin it either. We need to put up a seven or 8 spot to get a win with this bullpen. wilkerson is really starting to piss me off the last thing we need is another ritchie sexon in the outfield. Its funny how these things happen last year are bulpen was strong but we had no starting pitching. This year we have great starters and no bulpen it fuckin frustrating.

Well, thats what happens when upper management dumps the bullpen for some solid starters. I think they were banking on our offense to be hiting better than .250 so the starters would go deep with run support. It also doesnt help that the best closer inthe majors is hurt...
