Gagne's Record A Bit Dubious
I Thought The All-Star Game "Counted": So yesterday, Eric Gagne saved his 38th straight game to begin a season, setting a record.
Umm, except he blew a save in the All-Star Game. Doesn't anyone remember that the All-Star Game "counted" this year? "This time it counts" my ass, I guess. Maybe if the All-Star Game "counts" we ought to put add statistics from that game into the regular season stats of everyone who plays. How about that? It still burns me up that in a year when the National League should have had home-field advantage in the World Series, a series the Giants just might make again this year, a Dodger went and blew it all away. We'll have to wait and see whether I ever get over that.
