Let's try this again...

Memo to Wayne Krivsky
RE: Bullpen *******

I don't think we can wait until mid-July to shore up a bullpen that is 14th in the league in ERA. This team is capable of a comeback any night of the week, but you must concede that coming back after five runs are scored against you in the eighth inning is nigh impossible.
I don't like what I've seen the past few games, I know other fans feel the same way, and I'm sure you can't be pleased with what has gone on. I'm not a big subscriber to the whole "quality start" theory of starting pitching, but that's what we've gotten the past few nights, and then the 'pen has come along and tanked the games. Yuck.
I doubt anyone is in alarm mode here in mid-June, 9 games above .500, but I think we still need to look ahead. We can't win ballgames with a 'pen that has an ERA right around 5.00!
The answers don't seem to be in Louisville, and I have yet to be thrilled about any of the recent DFA acquisitions. So where does that leave us?

Don't ask me! I'm not the GM! That's your job, so go... make something happen!

Sincerely,
A Reds fan who turned off the game before it was over today because she couldn't watch the horror unfold any longer.
