So, you hope for a K or a popup from Pujols?

 

Pujols makes outs 65% of the time.

He wouldn't have needed a hit to drive in a run.

 

[Fatter than Joey]

It's not a moot point if Pujols scores

[BuckyTuba]

This is awful.

[BrewCrewForever]

The only thing I can say is at least he didn't walk anyone.

[jjfanec]

Let's see what Mota can do as a closer for a couple games after this. LaRussa was willing demote Isringhausen, so let's follow suit

[SeriesFinale]

My God I can't even stand the sight of his hairy face any more

[lbb020]

The difference between a good manager and a bad manager? A good manager realizes when his closer is struggling, and vows to not bring him in for high pressure situations....Meanwhile a bad manager doesn't care that his closer is struggling, and still brings him in even though he consistently sucks.

[BrewCrewForever]

With the way we squash scoring chances I'm not sure if we can even get 2 to tie this thing.

[Fatter than Joey]

Gagne is hearing it

[Yeti73]

I am furious, but don't agree with the booing...I just don't see it pumping the team up to go out and get three in the bottom of the 9th.

[BadgerFan]

Jeez, and I thought we got rid of Turnbow.

[eanelson4]

anybody ready to throw Gagne under the bus with me yet? Saw this coming a week ago. Its time for someone new.

Forget "not sure." I'm SURE we can't even get 2 to tie it.

Exactly. I love Gagne, but after this even I would remove him from the closer role. Even if only for awhile. Yost sucks!

 

[SeriesFinale]

"Game Over" has taken on whole new meaning at this stage in Gagne's career

 

I have to think Stetter or Pena could've done the same job for less money

[Fatter than Joey]

ok need a rally

[SZBrewerFan]

Jim Rome summed it up best a few years ago, Eric Gagne is a piece of CRAP. Eric the only reason you were ever good was because of the needles you were injecting into your rear end.

I don't like booing, either. It's not like the guys aren't trying.

If there was a way to make it known that the booing was for Yost or something, that's a different story. But yeah, it's not like the booing helps the team. They feel bad enough as it is that they're sucking.

That is not true. His best two years were 2002 and 2003 before his HGH use. He was good before he had elbow and back surgery.

 

[jjfanec]

Gagne bails out someone on the botched squeeze attempt.

[BadgerFan]

If Ned comes on in his postgame presser and starts talking about how Gagne was "throwing the ball real good, they (the Cardinals) were just seeing the ball well and dumping it where we weren't" I'm going to burn the rest of this year's tickets in my backyard tonight.

[Yeti73]

Braun double, Prince double, Hart homer...g'night. We can dream right?

[SeriesFinale]

Saw this coming a week ago.

You only saw it just a week ago?

Gagne's been the victim of some bad situations, but he's more often made them for himself

be a hero prince, or at least get on base

LET'S GO PRINCE!
