At least Todd is getting that value up.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 7, 2017 -> 06:17 PM) I'm surprised some teams don't try to acquire players earlier to get more out of them so to speak. But it's another form of "baseball tradition" I guess. Most of the deals are near the trade deadline. That's what we tried doing with Peavy a few years back.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 08:00 PM) If China defeated us in war, would they take over our mainland? Man, that is scary. Can you imagine having to go to some town meeting where the Chinese tell us what's up? And they begin torture, etc? s***. This might be my all time favorite Soxtalk post.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 03:42 PM) The bigger concern is NK selling advanced nukes to rogue groups/terrorists. They don't have the tech yet, but they will eventually. Sanctions haven't work. Global intervention hasn't worked. This faux show of military force hasn't worked. We just need to make a decision - are we cool with NK getting that technology or not? If not, there are difficult decisions to be made that would include military intervention. Very fair point.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 03:14 PM) With a guy like Trump in power I think it's sooner rather than later something big happens in North Korea. Why is it in North Korea's interest to lob a single nuke our way?

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 6, 2017 -> 12:53 AM) I think personally it's time for an official warning. We tell China, Russia, North Korea and South Korea that if there is one more missile test, we will be dropping 3 bombs on North Korea, hopefully where Kim Jon Un is residing. We tell S. Korea to take the necessary precautions. We tell Americans in South Korea it might be wise to get the hell out of there. We cannot risk this any more. The last bomb can reach U.S. soil. We have not developed technology apparently to blow up the bomb in the sky. What else can we do? War sucks but if China and Russia won't get him to stop this nuclear bulls***, we have to try to take out the North Korean president. Otherwise he will lob a nuke at Alaska and eventually our mainland. Do you agree?? They are leaving us with no options. That's the absolute best way to get people killed. There's no real incentive for NK to launch nukes. Everything NK has ever done has been to stay in power. They've seen other regimes fall without the nuclear safeguard. There's no real incentive for them to fire first. And if they do, there's no guarantee that they'll be able to hit the US mainland, but there is a guarantee that they'd be wiped off the map. Deterrence isn't the sexy option, but it keeps Americans and South Koreans and Japanese and Chinese and even more North Koreans from getting killed.

Woo. Nice win.

Nice job by Engel.

engel!

A nice, if not roundabout job by Swarzak.

Looks like Ricky and I agree. Yolmer has to catch that, though.

A hard 95 on pitch 101 is also nice to see.

I leave him out there unless another guy reaches.
