GAGNE'S STREAK ENDS
All good things must come to an end.

And that it did. Last night ERIC GAGNE's amazing streak of 84 consecutive saves came to an end as he gave up two runs in the ninth inning of a 5-3 game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

This streak did not get enough attention. Call it east-coast bias, call it what you will, but this streak did not command the admiration and respect that it should have. Look at how Gagne's streak came to an end last night...LUIS GONZALEZ hits a double that stays fair by less than two feet, and then he gives up a RBI single on a bouncer that goes between the first baseman and second baseman. Just like that, a little bad luck and the streak is over. So many crazy things can happen in a baseball game, and for Gagne to prevent those types of things from happening over the past two years is really remarkable.

Hats-off to the Dodgers fans for giving Gagne a standing ovation and demanding a curtain call after the top of the ninth. It's nice to see that the Dodger fans appreciated what Gagne did over a streak that will not be equaled in my life-time.
