Eric... fucking... Gagne...
is this guy human?
How the fuck do you not blow a save in 73 games, all the while being on (last year) about the worst hitting team in baseball? He may be getting some run support now, and everyone gets lucky once in a while, but 73 is fucking ridiculous. While I feel that closers are overrated when compared to starters (afterall, starters can throw 3x as many innings, right?)--I still thought he was the Cy Young to be last year and this year is certainly validating my opinion.
Holy crap, this guy is good. I wonder how he'd have done if he stuck with starting-- where he couldn't cut it. That chubby, dirty, smelly guy can sure pitch from the bullpen. Damn.
Will he get to 100?
Why not?
