The Bullpen Hates Mark Mulder
Even when he gets knocked around a bit, the Cardinals get a lead (on a Pujols pinch hit single, no less) and Ray King has some sort of mental breakdown to allow the Pirates to tie it up. Sure, King got three outs in a row (a major accomplishment these days), but that brain fart was inexcusable.
Perhaps Tavarez is jealous of Mark's good looks. Maybe Izzy feels uncomfortable having another Illinois native around. King might be sad he's not the city's favorite lefty. Thompson must have tried to borrow Mulder's razor then remembered he's too young to shave. Flores is probably tired of having so many people on the team with the initials "MM." Cal was sick earlier this season so I don't know if he harbors ill will towards Mark, but I bet his down-home Iowan sensibilities chafe at Mulder's highlights. Al Reyes is too upset about another Reyes being on the team to even notice.
The bullpen hates Mark Mulder.
