    Once the season started, they did not have to forsee anything. It was a fact that they stunk out of the gate. That aside, it was foreseeble that Schoenweiss would suck. It was foreseeable that Oki was regressing. His second half numbers in 2009 fell off very badly. His continued regression became evident in April. We were terrible from the Left hand side and that was evident in the first week of the season. The attempted remedy was to sign 65 year old Alan Embree, but his colostomy bag burst while working his way back to the majors. Also, Ramon Ramirez performance also fell off in the second half of 2009, and he looked awful in 2010 Spring training. MDC's lost velocity was a problem in spring training and it was cause for concern. I was surprised about two things regarding the 2010 bullpen -- that they made no acquisitions to bolster the pen and that Papelbon's performance remained inconsistent throughout the season. You think it was bad luck by the FO. That's fine, but it is your opinion. That doesn't invalidate other points of view. We agree that they stunk.

    They could have gotten an older guy like Kerry Wood. He did pretty good for an old dude.

    I like the idea of Reynolds if Beltre is too expensive. He Kks a ton, but he does walk a fair bit, and he can hit the ball out of Yellowstone Park.

    Then why are you trying so hard. I think the FO did a poor job on the pen and they should own it. You think they did a good job and had bad luck. You say that you agree to disagree, but you don't leave it alone. For the record, when i am wrong, I do admit it, and I am sure that behind closed doors the FO is taking responsibility too.

    If I criticize a move or non move at the time of the move or non-move, there is no benefit of hindsight. Wow, trying to prove me wrong is really an obsession with you. It reminds me of Dutchy/Imperial.

    I thought they were wrong at the time, and I criticized them for not making any moves. Time proved me right.

    I though that we have to win 3 more games before we face the Yanks.

    My philosophy is that the FO has to own its decisions. Your philosophy is that they had bad luck. Yes, we differ.

    Whether with 20-20 hindsight or looking forward, hypothesizing about who we could have gotten or who we could get is pure conjectural nonsense. We have no idea who is available or their price in money or talent. It's just guessing. However, we can evaluate a bullpen as we watch them perform. Ours sucked from April. Only two other teams in the AL had worse bullpens. Maybe they are making things harder than they really are.

    Yeah and 10 minutes.

    We made it to the last week of the season with our garbage, so they might have put us over the top.
