Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

The Fastest Mental Break in MLB History, Gagne says he's ready to close again

2 Innings and 1 ER after Gagne said this, "I do not deserve the ninth inning right now." He has an interview with Tom H. of JSOnline for the purpose of saying, "I had my mental break (Sunday), I'm good to go now. I know I belong in the ninth inning." It's good to see confidence out of our $10 million dollar man, but come on what has changed since Sunday that he suddenly feels as though its 2002 again?

He remembered where he hid his secret HGH stash

"He's been very, very impressive," Yost said. "I mean really impressive. I mean really, really impressive."

He did a good job yesterday,

but not good enough to be a closer. He only gave up one run yesterday, but he walked two .
The Brewers should keep him where he is and use Torres as the closer, possibly Shouse for lefties. Or they can continue the “closer by committee” thing they have going.

One so-so appearance

does not make him a closer again. He was successful a number of times, even this year, before losing the job. I need to see 3 or 4 good outings before considering him our closer.

The same article mentioned a visit from his wife, whom he hadn't seen since spring training...

... after he essentially fired himself from the closer’s job. Maybe she reminded him that the wasn’t likely to get another fat contract next year if he wasn’t a closer this year, and that while $10 million sounds like a lot of money, it’s not in Canadian dollars, so it won’t spend as well as it did when the US dollar was stronger earlier in his career… :)

Doug, please fire Ned.

Love,
Everyone.

She can warm up with him ANYtime

“Who’s the closer baby?”

He's extremely quick and good.

Mrs. Gagne:

“Yeah, throw that change right down the middle of the plate.”

Also, cheese.

So THAT's why he keeps throwing it up in the zone

Getting it too far down in that scenario can lead to problems.

He's extremely quick and good.

Hopefully

He doesn’t throw a “fastball”
