Now now, don't get too excited yet. We still have a 1.5 game lead on you guys. Gagne may be back but it's June so Drew is probably ready for his annual DL visit. I won't have to suffer Ortiz for too long, he'll screw it all up again and then he'll be banished to the pen once again. You guys still have to deal with Perez.
We have Nippert starting for us today. I'm cautiously optimistic. The kid has amazing stuff but in his short time with the team last season he didn't seem ready yet (and he was just barely a year removed from TJ surgery).
According to Rotoworld, Gagne is experiencing soreness after his save the other day. His velocity on this fastball was between 89-92. Hopefully he's fine. I'm loyal to my team and I want them to do the best they can but I hate it when great players get hurt.
