Not only do those fans get tonight’s game for free, they’ll get a select game next year as well (that’s tonight, right?). Gagne’s a good guy, if not a good pitcher anymore.

I feel bad for him. A buddy of mine works at the country club he golfs at and through talking to him learned that he wanted to move his whole family up here and buy a house. And then the first two months of the season happened and he told them not to come up.

Feeling bad for him doesn’t mean I don’t think he sucks any less and that I don’t want him anywhere near the mound in a meaningful game but he’s at least a stand up guy.

Class act by Gagne. I was lucky enough to get two of the free tickets this afternoon and took my 3 year old daughter. I managed to get her to sit for the first four innings before we had to go play in the kids’ areas. Got home in time to see the walk-off-slam on TV. She loved being at the park and so did I. Best $5 I’ve ever spent. ($2 transaction fee, $3 hot dog w/ secret sauce, free parking at a friend’s house in Story Hill) Plus I’ve now got two free tickets for a game next April. Sweet.

I was just disappointed that I was in the play area when Gagne took the mound and I wasn’t able to cheer him.

Gallardo got a pretty big reception from the crowd, during introductions and during his at-bat. I also noticed that Prince got some pretty big applause too when he was up. I think it is good will from his walk-off on Tuesday and his September play in general.

He needs to buy us something to get people to not boo.

Corey, you buy me a solid gold toilet, I’ll punch all the boo birds in their genitals.
