Gagne would fit in well with the Phillies bullpen...almost.

phanan said:It's strange that Gagne has really done this bad since the trade. I thought he would come around eventually, but it never happened.
Now he's just along for the ride and may get a ring for doing absolutely nothing.

You know what though....Paplebon creates similar drama too.

Drama...not just walks. He finds a way to close it (thankfully), but often finds a way to put people on. He is fun to watch.
speedracer said:He's clearly one of the top closers in MLB by any measure.

Have I stated anything differently? I am not sure why you are making all of this effort to prove something here. You seem a bit defensive ofr some reason. I am not questioning his ability or stating FACT.
My perception is based purely on the games I have watched this season and living with a diehard Red Sox fan (who I am faithfully feeding text messages with game updates do to her unfortunate work schedule). Multiple family members of said roomie (all New Englanders and die hards) have even mentioned "the Paplebon Drama."
Armed with your research, I will make sure that they clearly know that their perceptions are clearly have no merit. Thank you for your efforts.

speedracer said:I visit Red Sox boards frequently, and it is really quite amazing how pessimistic/nervous/crazy a lot of Red Sox fans still get when anything goes wrong.

Schilling gives up the lead in the 4th inning against the Indians tonight, and everyone says "crap, there goes the game" even though Boston's down by only 1 and Carmona is gassed. Papelbon puts a runner or two on, and everyone says "WTF, why can't he strike out the side on 6 pitches like he's supposed to", etc. Seriously, it's like 2004 never happened.

DaveC said:Jesus god this man never fails to blow a game...wow.
speedracer said:Gagne, Javier Lopez and Jon Lester all gave up runs in the top of the 11th.
Both starting pitchers went out early and taxed the bullpens. Cleveland's bullpen scrubs got the job done, Boston's didn't, and that's about it.
