Jason Motte implodes w/2 outs, surrendering 4 runs to lose the game.

The Cards continue to ignore the importance of a solid closer.

I am going to update this thread everytime this season a bullpen screws up my wager from the 7th inning on...

Yesterday

KC-Farnsworth is garbage, yet he still finds out a job...

Det-Brandon Lyon destroys a great game by Edwin Jackson. How often does that ever happen?

How would those same plays have fared if you had played them first five innings?

My record would be reversed, but I'll just stick to playing the entire game. I have a hard time picking the winner for a full 9.

Hey new poster here...

But I completely agree. I haven't really lost any leads from the 7th inning on, but bullpens will come into games down like 2-1, and next thing i know it's 5-1. Seems there are only like 5 good pens in the whole league these days.

1-8 -8.48 units in these situations....when does it begin to even out????

I have had 1 win where the opposing team bullpen melted down w/my team trailing entering the 7th inning and beyond.....8 times I have lost with my team leading starting from the 7th..this is just gut wrenching..It' like I'm expecting this to always happen.
