Too bad so sad

Hey Remember when morons would claim that PED's couldnt help a pitcher.

Seems as if Mr Gagne was a star when allowed to juice up and then he coincidentally had a string of bad luck after he stopped juicing with those "worthless" PED's.

They should bar him from the game and strip him of all his stats.

Surgery isn't an excuse either.

He was having a great comeback year with the Rangers before being shipped off to Boston.

Closers are all about confidence bordering on cockiness.... he no longer has that. He faced pressure for the first time in Boston and choked badly.

Remember when Lidge was lights out with Houston? Then Pujols launches a ball in to outer orbit and he was never the same again. But he is doing great this year, took him 4 years to get over it though.

Gagne will eventually get out of his funk, may take a while though.

The Brewers knew what they were getting themselves into by signing Eric Gagne a $10 million+ contract, yes they were aware of the possible shortcomings. But their faith in Gagne surely must be great, given the terms of the deal. Their mindset: if Gagne is a bust, then so be it - at least we tried... Gagne was bound to be picked up by a team sometime, even given that it would be a somewhat hefty deal - I mean someone had to sign him, or there would be grounds for a grievance.

Since steroids causes bodily degradation, it is possible that it could have inflicted Gagne with serious injuries leading up to Tommy John surgery, right? But seriously, I think Gagne can become a great reliever again, just not like he was before. As far as closers go, he should rank close to the middle or middle-low
