You don't say.

It really is crazy how they have fallen off....was Grandal that key to the offense??

This offense really is so streaky. It may come down to if they get hot with the bats in October. If so, Sox have a great shot. If not, pitching might still keep them in it. Very Exciting times are a coming.

What are we looking at for where Tepera will be slotted in now? I figured he must have been considered as a set up guy but now with Kimbrel everyone moves down a peg. Is it now him or Bummer in the 6th or 7th?

Padres keep getting shut out of these deals....watch them trade for Harper and Wheeler just so they can trade some of their farm away.

Oh I get it....you're one of those Stats guys. Thanks for pointing out that Kimbrel has more losses to prove my point.

Trade for Nick Solak....that should appease Jason....by the way did you know that Solak was a local kid??

I think the absolute need was to improve the bullpen at the trading deadline and that is what they did. I trust Hendriks more than Kimbrel so Liam needs to be the primary closer.....although Kopech might be more dominant that both of them.

Burger didn't look all that great at 3B imo so I say NO.

Well at least this will end all criticism of how LaRussa uses the bullpen going forward in the GameThreads.

I guess they will be picking up that option on Cesar Hernandez.

Madrigal??? WTF!!!

Good for the Sox going for it...but I am in the minority in that I do not like or trust Kimbrel.

I thought so, just didnt know if you meant Giolito instead of Hard Carl ?

Lynn and Rodon?

I think his career is toast.

My wife had never seen the steeplechase event before...she called me into the room and said "are they running through the water?" ?

That sure would be a shame along with Cole having troubles after the sticky stuff ban...it would just be awful for them. I have a great deal of schadenfreude when it comes to the pretenders in pinstripes from NYC.

I know it's not the greatest movie, but at this time of year I find myself feeling like the guy on the other end of the phone with Brad Pitt when he is wheeling and dealing..."hey I like Horn"..."You don't even know who he is."

Wonderful effort as always by the GameThread crew. Thanks to all who participated. Wish I could say the same about the offense. Go get em tomorrow on Cesar Hernandez day!!

Many a family have been created with the assistance of said booze.

Can we still trade for that Beer guy some people wanted to draft awhile back just for a variety of beverages?
