Brewers GM stands behind Gagne
Though frustrated fans might not understand the thinking, Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin said Monday that there were no plans to remove Eric Gagne as the team's closer. Gagne is among the National League leaders with nine saves but has blown three of his last six chances. He turned in five consecutive scoreless outings before Sunday but his overall numbers are alarming.

I was so happy to see GoneYe walk a run in with the Astros. That was very comical. Hopefully Red Sox fans will start posting as to why he was not resigned in the offseason.-----Although, I think the answer is farely clear.

Gagne blows. i knew Melvin made a mistake with him. I hope they have someone in mind for later this year, let alone next year. Brewers are going to blow their window of opportunity to get to the playoffs before they can't afford to pay all the young talent.

I wouldn't stand behind him if there's anyone in the batter's box. Good way to get killed.

Of course the GM "stands behind" Gagne. After all, the GM is the one who pulled the trigger on this dumb contract.

GagMe has simply been awful. The GM is standing behind him, praying that he turns things around, because the Brewers choked last year, and have too much talent this year not to contend.
