It's times like these that I wonder how much a Joakim Soria would cost in a trade. Vitters? I might be crazy enough to do that if I'm in Hendry's position.
Seriously though, I would love to see Heath Bell and George Sherrill join this shit ass bullpen.

Times like what? The bullpen hadn't given up a run in like 15 innings coming into today. If Lee and Soto make easy plays, they don't give up any tonight either. The rotation, the pen, the pitching staff in general are not a worry to me. The absolutely pathetic offense and piss poor defense is though. Changes need to be made and additions probably have to happen, I don't see them being needed on the pitching front though.

Times like THESE! You know, the ones where your shutdown reliever gives up a couple walks and allows a run because of it. And your closer gives up a 2 run homer to the biggest douche bag in the NL. THESE FUCKING TIME!
I don't give a shit if the bullpen hasn't given up a run in 15 innings. They just did give it up when it matters. That's the fucking problem. Don't give me the useless fucking stats. Is it really that big of a help when your bullpen doesn't give up any runs when the team is up by 6-7 runs? Or down by 8? Give me a fucking break.
I'm sorry, but when your setup man and closer have a combined WHIP of almost 1.60, that is a fucking problem. Just because the offense has been anemic, doesn't mean the bullpen is NOT a problem.
Blame Lee and Soto if you want, but 9 times out of 10 they make those plays. I can't say the same for the bullpen's ability to succeed.
