My thoughts exactly. Trading for a half-year of Gagne seems redundant with Wood on the roster. Right, because Wood is giving the Cubs so many IP right now.... :roll: And how long will Gagne last on the Cubs before he's injured again? I don't buy it for a second.
I like the approach of Pie recently. He's been very patient, not swinging at pitches that look like balls. He just needs to turn up the aggressiveness a tad. It's a balancing act, and I think he's pretty close.
I blew the popular picture up a bit, but it's the same resolution, so the quality is not as good. http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1427/664817150_2a04be689f_o.jpg
The bad part about all those one run losses is that we won't get them back. So hopefully we keep playing like we were or better. And double hopefully, we don't regress.
