Gagne has cost us four games. Even Lopez for a groundball out would have taken care of our problem in the 8th. The Yanks are firing on all cylinders and we’re sputtering.
So it was FOUR games F'in Gagne cost us. I remember the two in Baltimore, tonight's game, but can't remember the other one. I'm still incredulous that Francona kept him in... I just don't get it. All Francona could say in a post-game interview on NESN was: "We NEED Eric Gagne..." (and some other incoherent mumblings) WHY do we need him, Terry?
We can also wonder how many more games we would've won this season if Drew would have performed up to his $70+ million contract, Lugo hadn't had that long hitting drought, and Dice-K didn't melt down during so many starts. It's all so disgusting. My husband has already conceded the Division to his Yankee fan co-workers. I fear the Yanks will win the World Series this year...
