To me that just shows how bad our bullpen and offense really are.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I'm guessing it was pretty close to 1st last season. But...we were close to 1st in nearly every category last season (offense and pitching), so everything feels like it's sucking.

If either of our offense or bullpen were in the top 5 in the NL, there's no doubt in my mind that we'd be in 1st place right now. Our rotation only looks average because our bullpen is blowing leads and our offense isn't carrying its weight. It's being overshadowed.
