Surviving Grady does the procedural:

... Gagne: The f@#k you laughin' at?

Youk: Steroids are supposed to make you good. You're not good. ...

On Cursed to First, Beth quietly and respectfully asks Gagne to just find some plane to Montreal and get on it:

We don't have to yell and scream about it. There doesn't need to be a mob on his doorstep with pitchforks and torches. We can be quiet and civilized as we make this transition. But it is for certain that he should leave now. ...

Talonvaki: Deport Eric Gagne.

Amy: What was he doing in the GAME?

I am available to pitch. I could do better. Where is Julian? ...

The Boston Blogger: How much does Gagne suck?

Martin Lieberman: Eric Gagne, I've said it before and I'll say it again: YOU SUCK!!!!!

Teddy Kokoros: For his own safety I think Gagne should just leave the city and not come back.

Philip McCarthy finds a suitable photo for the occasion.

At least Gagne isn't on Jimmy's list of things that are not left-handed specialists, although the pitcher who followed Gagne is.

Chris Fournier, meanwhile, says that even worse than Gagne is Bud Selig, Tim McCarver and Joe Buck, because they are responsible for ridiculously late starting times and ridiculously stupid announcing:

... With Buck and McCarver fucking my ears each night and Selig selling the game out to major television interests (gawddamned prime time), mixed in with the unknown and unexpectedness of baseball, the game is damn near unwatchable. It's fucked. ...

Panic alarms are ringing on all decks.

More alarms.

Boston Police report arresting a disgruntled Sox fan for throwing a bottle of Poland Spring at the pitcher's mound at Fenway Park last night:

According to the suspect, he threw the water bottle in the direction of Red Sox reliever Eric Gagne because he was angry at the pitcher's poor play. Said the suspect, "I was pissed because he blew the game."

Gianno Lettieri, 35, of Marion, got no relief, however - he was arrested and taken away.

Red Sox Chick: We should focus on Buchholz not Gagne, but we won't.

Basegirl: Eric Gagne Does Not Live Here Anymore.

Red Sox Chick is, of course, referring to the continued use of Eric Gagne.

Beth pays attention to the bullpen:

... I noticed that Jonathan was the bullpen representative who stepped out from the bench to welcome Gagne to Munchkinland with a fist-bump after his first walk out to the bullpen, which I would guess puts Jonathan in the position of alpha dog. Being the official fist-bump welcomer has got to be a pretty prestigious position in the pecking order, especially since given the ovation, the entire park and TV audience was watching them. It was at once a gracious gesture and an establishment of exactly whose bullpen this is, thank you very much, now wipe your feet over there and take a seat next to Mike, just watch out you don't get too close if his left eye starts twitching. ...
