We're back from California, safe and sound in Maine. But I know you are more concerned with Eric Gagné right now.
The night we left for our trip two weeks ago the Boston Red Sox completed a trade for relief pitcher Eric Gagné, who you might remember from a journal entry last December (see I Jinxed Gagné).
And so far he hasn't pitched well in the two games he's been in. So I know you are concerned.
Don't be.
"What?" You're say. "Aren't Red Sox fans supposed to see doom and gloom at every potential corner?"
Yes, this is true. But I've seen Gagné smoke the New York Yankees like they were a Little League baseball team that ended up on the field of Dodger Stadium instead of in the bleachers. This guy is okay, trust me. Going into the last two months of the season, and then the playoffs, the Red Sox are going to need him. And by then he'll be adjusted and ready.
