live through Sun Devil Baseball until mid-June then take your vacations to bide time until Cards training camp. Going cheap on the bullpen has cost the team a lot more than they were trying to save by going with scrubs in the pen.

And then when the Sun Devils inevitably choke in the postseason you'll wish you never did that either.

Probably back when people cared about college baseball.

But if you can't tell my post was made in good fun then I don't know what to tell ya, because for D-backs vs. ASU it's either heartbreak now or heartbreak later, as track records would suggest.

Oh I agree 100%. But ASU still has a shot every year to win it all. THe Dbacks have a shot every year for the #1 pick.

Bullpen doesn't really matter. The Dbacks only hope of contending was for Brandon Webb to return to pre-injury form.

The starters take a lead into the 7th or 8th and the bullpen blows the game. How does the bullpen not matter?

Haren (era of 5) is not a relief pitcher. This team is still bad with a good bullpen.

I do however agree that some descent relief pitching would be a good place to start.
