Yep he did. Lost the lead again with a 3 run homer. He needs to go.

They're done. Doesn't matter that Colorado lost, their bull pen has gone to crap and Torey's ever changing lineup tweaks won't help this offense. Love Torey but he has made several dumb decisions the last few weeks/month. He has to be on the hot seat now.

This is just awful. I'm sure there's a reason why I still pay attention, but I have no idea why. Maybe it's like watching a train wreck happen.... You just can't seem to not watch.

I know it is tough to watch them now but every teams blows games. You win some you should have lost and lose some you should have won. Every team has those 5 games.

This team should be at least 5 or more games games up, if they didn't blow even close to half the games that they have.

Dodgers and Rockies are saying the sane thing. They all have bullpens near the bottom of the league.

Or maybe it's "root, root, root for the home team". "If they don't win, it's" ... I've already spoken my mind about that. :)

My cousin called from St. Louis to complain about the Cardinals bullpen. My response: come out west--we have 3 of the worst bullpens in the NL. Is it time to post the Lee Elia tirade? :D

Did the trade for 3 middle relievers screw up the chemistry? I don't get it. Our pen was cruising all year, now no one can get an out in an important situation.

We've blown 7th or later leads in what... 7 of our last 9? If we win 4 of those 7 (which still adds up to lousy relieving) we've got a 1.5 game lead.

That said, we're averaging less than 3 runs per game in those 7 loses, so the offense probably shares the heavier blame.

At least the starters are holding their weight!

Did Sunday’s demise start with putting Box in - or have I not yet awoken from a nightmare??
I know Boxberger is not the only problem, but he has been A problem with blowing these saves— why does Lovullo keep putting him in??
This could be a rhetorical question if no one is calm enough to answer...
