8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list

It wasn't DiMaggio, it wasn't Hershiser, but if anything proved how hard Eric Gagne had to work to save 84 games in a row, Monday night did. What happened in the ninth inning against Arizona could have happened any other game, and all that prevented it was Gagne's strength, will and talent. (And a leaping catch in Houston by Dave Roberts in 2003.)
My tribute, "Eric Gagne Is So Good," was written nearly 15 months ago. Tell me it doesn't still apply.
That Eric Gagne ... sure plays a mean pinball.
