Gagne Blows Another One

Brewers' closer Eric Gagne blew another save opportunity today, and that is his fifth blown save of the year. Milwaukee is in extra innings right now for the 9th time this season. They are 5-3 in extra-innings.

Last year, the Brewers appeared in 14 extra-inning games, and posted a 8-6 record. Three teams last year tied for the most extra-inning games - San Diego, Colorado, and San Francisco all appeared in 21 extra-inning contests.

The TV announcers just mentioned that the last Brewer starting pitcher to get a win, other than Ben Sheets, was Manny Parra back on April 5th! Later tonight I will be posting on the condition of Milwaukee's pitching staff.

I wonder what the record is for a team giving up homers to an opposing team's pitchers?
Just a note re: a retirement in baseball---Julio Franco has retired from baseball after a 23 yr. career at age 49. He was playing for the Quintana Roo Tigers of the Mexican League. "I understand that my time has passed and the great men and athletes know when to say enough," Franco said.
Julio, I have 3 words for you---Sanders Construction Leprechauns.
