Woo 1 down 5 long innings to go. I might be the only one left in the game thread by the time the game is over. Maybe some other west coasters.

So how long before the Red Sox take the lead ?

Wasted opportunity .

And Granderson to Brewers

GenericUserName about 10 posts and approx 1 hr. 45 minutes before you.

No way he goes back out there if it's resumed.

I say go home, if it resumes it'll be late and no sense keeping your boy out so late. Just make sure you get a rain check or w/e they give for situations like this.

Maybe Cardinasl got Donaldson they were rumored to be involved. Jays also trying to get rid of Granderson.

No one knows yet

Donaldson supposedly just traded.

To who yet no idea. NO QO for him.

Way to hit Kevan

Hey lets go 5 and get the rain out win

Thank JBJ 1st pitch outs are much appreciated.

I hate Kinsler

They just showed no signs life all year even after adding Soto, nothing worked. Makes me wonder a little bit about how Harper is perceived there.

Doesn't it seem as if the Nats really screwed themselves? Murph and Gio surely would have fetched more at the original trade deadline. We'd be screaming bloody murder around here if the Sox front office did this and rightfully so.

I have an answer for you but I'd probably be accused of being a grouchy old coot (not by you of course). The nicest thing I can say is it's runaway extra year of controlitis. Might be time for a new avatar.

So the answer is no you couldn't name a few guys that fit my criteria. He didn't make it to free agency which is what I asked for. So the extra year of control doesn't matter, even though you arrogantly stated that having the extra year meant so much and was so simple to understand.

Maybe you forgot but I think the Sox were tanking. I really don't even think the Sox management expected the starting pitching would so drastically improve. It might even change their thinking about the off season plans.

The vast majority might . But we are talking Machado and Harper 2 great players who haven't won a World Series yet. And the vast majority will never receive those kind of offers.

Don't be silly unless he's a Hoffman, Chapman or Kimbrel the extra year means nothing with relievers. Find me a few examples of relievers that started with one team who were relievers from the very start who made it all the way to FA and ended up getting big bucks.

Southsider2k5 will have a field day with Hamilton and Burr both on the Sox now.

I don't think that's nearly as important with relief pitchers . Were you being facetious ?

Even if he's added to the 40 ?
