I am hereby inaugurating a new award in baseball. It is called the 'Gagne of the Year.' Awarded to the most recent pitching acquisition who turns out to be a complete disaster. Of course, this award is in honor (?) of Eric Gagne, who was so brutal during the 2007 playoffs that the only safe time to play him was when the Red Sox had a 5-run lead late...that way he would be unable to blow it in the case of a grand slam.
This year's 'Gagne of the Year' goes to Brad Penny. Not only has he pitched quite incompetently late in the season, he capped off his awfulness tonight by conceding 6 runs to the Yankees in the first two innings. Final score: 20-11 (that was 20-11 for the Yankees of course...there was no last-minute comeback here).
Congratulations (?), Brad Penny.
Wakefield pitched tonight in Pawtucket as part of rehab. His comments:
"I feel very comfortable that I can pitch in the big leagues again." He added that he felt well. "Physically, I feel great."
We want -- nay need -- you to come back. Please come back. Please!
