Colorado versus Texas. The battle of whose bullpen sucks the worst.

It was 3-1 Texas after both starters were gone. Meaning, it would be another bullpen game. Cross your fingers.

Fortunately, the only bullpen shakier than the Rangers’ bullpen is the Rockies’ bullpen.

After the Rangers’ pen gave up three runs to put Colorado up 4-3 in the top of the eighth inning, the Rockies’ pen gave back the lead in the bottom of the eighth.

In the end, the Rangers bullpen sucked less than the Rockies’s bullpen. And for the fifth game in a row Texas won in the last two innings of a game.
