"Worst bullpen in the majors"

Unfortunately, that was Vin Scully's description of the Giants today, and though he kept mis-identifying Giants players (he had a particular problem mixing up Vizquel, Niekro and Feliz), they certainly lived down to the description today. Rather than point out the worst error of the year (Kline's inability to throw to 3B cost them the game as the score went from 2-2 to 4-2) I was particularly troubled by all three relievers (Kline, Worell and Munter) walking the first guy they faced.

Not that I care much but hadn't Scully proclaimed that he wouldn't announce Bonds' breaking the record? Isn't that kind of wishy-washy, Vin? Or did you know that Bonds wouldn't homer? And while I'm on Vin's case, isn't a Hall of Fame announcer supposed to make an effort to get people's names right? So, Vin decides in the midst of describing Schmidt's homerun prowess that he has to mis-pronounce Montefusco's name for the 1,000th time. It's Mon-Tay-FEWS-co not Mon-Tay-FUHS-co, you dimwit.
