Countdown to Incompetence Part III: We’re Done Counting Now, Time to Slit Our Wrists

As writer Robert Falkoff (say his name with a Boston accent and make yourself laugh like a 12 year-old) let us know on Tuesday, the Cardinals playoff hopes are dead.  Say what you will about the ’08 Redbirds, they had a shot, but GM John Mozeliak made sure they wouldn’t make it by doing absolutely nothing to help the squad get better where they hurt the most: the bullpen.

I’m afraid there’s not much more to say than that.  The bullpen (or certain lack thereof) is the reason why we didn’t contend down the stretch.  My cries fell on deaf ears (not uncommon) and I have since found an aggravating solace in my self-righteousness.

Now, if you’ll be needing me, I’ll be drowning my sorrows by invoking the spirits to damn the Cubs’ playoff run and lead my neighborhood Sox to victory over the Twins.

It will happen.

Don’t hate me ‘cuz I’m right.

Peace,

Jeffy
