There's a thread on this in Trading Post, too...

 

I already had tickets, but tried for someone else here at work. She got through and got Terrace Box 437, Row 2.

 

God, I just have nothing but respect for Gagne, especially after something like this. The guy has been the number one most booed and harassed Brewer this season and his quote just says it all. He could be sitting back, raking in his $10 mil and ticking off the days til he's out of here. Between this and the $25/Brewers strikeout, I couldn't have more respect for what a class act he is.

 

It makes me happy to know that guys like Gagne , Suppan and Cameron are the veterans in our clubhouse teaching our younger guys what it means to be a responsible community member.

 

I just really take pride in the fact that we don't have any punks on our team - from top to bottom, I'm proud to be a fan of such a classy organization.

I was able to get three tickets. I had intended on taking my wife and daughter to the game but Mary seems to think that since this is a school night we'd need to leave quite early thus making it no fun for me.

Therefore, she suggested I try to find two people to go with me.

If you wanna hang out with me for a game, I have two seats available in section 206. First one of ya to lemmie know can come along with me. I'd hope someone could drive, but if not, I can.

Perhaps a small tailgate in the parking lot?

-I used to have a neat-o signature, but it got erased.

My friend and I were discussing at the game Tuesday night about how much Gagne actually does for the community, this is really insanely cool for a guy who has been given such a hard time by the fans. Class act on Gagne's part.

 

I can't find a link to it at the moment, but he and Suppan had each donated something like $20,000 earlier this year to rebuild flooded little league parks in the area as well.

I tried for a while to get two' date=' but ended up getting the message saying that amount of tickets wasn't available, so I tried for one just to see, but got the same message... looks like FSN-WI for me...[/quote']

Not trying to play matchmaker, but Jamie can't really be that bad of a guy... the powers that be put him in charge of public relations (and he was just the focus of that recent news story) http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

Yikes. I can't say anything else without getting a strike.
OK?
I don't want to speak for cubsdie, but I believe he was saying that for all that Gagne has been through with the fans booing him he still has enough class to buy tickets to help create a great stadium tonight and you go rip on him for being a class act...i may be wrong and Cubsdie can correct me if I am

He received very modest cheers, IMO. It was embarassing.

 

I heard a considerable number of boos, but more cheers. Would've been nice if there were more cheers. I do think there was a section of people on the first level down in the left field corner who chanted "Thank You Gagne" but it was tough to make out from where I was.

First, thanks to Jamie for letting me hang out with him tonight, I'd be so mad at myself for not having gone tonight. It was a great time hanging out with Jamie, we'll do it again sometime.

 

As for Gagne, I don't think most people noticed he came in at first. I think he got a pretty decent cheering at the end of the inning, and I didn't notice any worthwhile booing of him at least. I for one love my new best friend Eric Gagne.
