August 10th- The Red Sox put up 5 runs in the top of the 8th after Erik Bedard shuts them down for 7+. Up 5-1, Francona puts Eric Gagne in.
3 hits and 1 walk later the game is tied. The Sox end up losing in the bottom of the 9th.
August 12th- I was at this game. The Sox are up 3-1 with a runner on first and Miguel Tejada at the plate. Gagne enters the stadium to a chorus of boos as the Sox fans reminisce about the lost win from a few nights earlier. After replacing Okajima, Gagne immediately gives up a 2 run blast to even the game.
The Sox lose 6-3 in extra innings.
August 17th- After using Papelbon in the day game of a day-night doubleheader, Gagne comes out to close things in the 9th with a 1 run lead. Gagne gives up two walks, a single, and a double, and then lucks out with a hard liner to first that ends the inning.
The Sox lose 7-5.
September 18th- In the bottom of the 8th with a one run lead over Toronto, Gagne gets 2 quick first outs. He allows a single and 2 quick hits to load the bases. He then walks Gregg Zaun to bring in a run, and then a double to bring in 2 more. A strong throw to the plate manages to get Gagne out of the inning, but the damage is done. The Sox tack on another run in the 9th and lose 4-3.
This may be the single worst acquisition in sports this year. Gagne's responsible for 4 Sox losses currently, as the Sox sit a mere 2 1/2 up. He's caused a lot of unnecessary stress in Boston, and is a cancer to the team.

This is Epstein's fault. Dont blame Gagne. We NEVER needed him. We had the #1 bullpen in the majors, WITHOUT Eric Gagne. Epstein never needed to spend the money to get him. We are reaping what Theo sowed. Crap!

I don't think we needed Gagne either, but I don't think anybody anticipated his performance being this bad.
Theo can't get out on the field and pitch for Gagne, I don't think it's fair to blame him for Gagne's performance.
