This isn't happening, this isn't happening, this isn't happening...........

Please god, someone please wake me up from this horrible nightmare! No, I am not talking about my life in general but this recent news coming out of Brewers training camp.

The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. I will repeat that a few times so you know that this is real. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal. The Brewers signed Eric Gagne to a minor league deal.

WTF? You really mean to tell me that there is no one else out there to sign to throw baseballs than this guy. If we are looking to fill that position of a pitcher who will come in and panic and give up 3 home runs in a game we are winning by 5 runs, hey I am available. Hell, my grnadmother could do that. Do we really need this steroid-filled idiot?

After regretting the decision of signing him last year and having such a horrible year and giving up so many runs, you would think we would have had enough and be man enough to just walk away from the situation and just chalk it up as a loss. But, no we decided to go back for more and sign him again. Makes no sense. This would like my ec-wife convincing me to come back every night just to wash the dished after her and her new family have a lovely meal together. No, this doesn't happen because she chalked it up as a loss and wishes she never met me and has moved on. (Editor's note: this "moving on" thing doesn't apply to me because I still sit outside her windom and watch her eat dinner with her new family.)

My ec-wife thinks this may be a good idea. Minor league deal, more arms to throw in the grueling event that is spring, less than 2 mil. And I dont like to wash the dished as much as anybody, but somebody has to to it. Same as last year, without the 10 mil around the neck.
