Cincinnati Reds links - The worst bullpen ever?

You've watched the Cincinnati Reds bullpen crumble repeatedly this year. You've seen presumptive closer JJ Hoover optioned to AAA Louisville, where he now pitches alongside former go-to setup man Jumbo Diaz. You've watched as the likes of Drew Hayes and Layne Somsen have ridden down and back I-71 as makeshift replacements, as Ross Ohledorf was signed late in a last-ditch effort to bolster things, and as the collective unit surrendered run after run in game after game as part of a record-breaking streak of futility.

Well, it turns out the bullpen's streak of allowing runs isn't the only thing that is setting records.
