Welp, it was a good run.

The team had a good shot, but the post-All Star break unreliable bullpen doomed them. Guess we know what the offseason priority needs to be: continue solidifying the rotation (Peavy is gone, Matt Cain is signed through 2017 but...) and overhaul the bullpen. Casilla is (obviously) gone. Romo and Lopez won't be re-signed. Law and Strickland have promise, but the team needs a bona fide closer. Preferably one who doesn't assault his girlfriend.
