It would be even more heartbreaking than when the Sox blew that 7-1 lead in the 9th inning in Kansas City a few years back.

Get 1 proven superstar, and continue to let the rebuild run it's course. Keep some $$$ available for next offseason and chase a SP if it's needed. Oh a starting pitching whale will definitely be needed next season.

For me, it was a game they were way ahead of the Royals...I went to bed that night in Colombia and woke up in pure shock they'd somehow blown it. Can't remember the final score, but it was really high scoring. Then Buehrle lost the next day. https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/KCA/KCA200509140.shtml Seems like it must have been this one.

January 14, 20197 yr What are the odds the Sox leak it in the middle of the night? Pretty low, right?

It's almost too overconfident, or too detached, I'm not sure which. In all likelihood, he's describing the process that got us to think point in the middle of January in the driver's seat for one of the two whales. I wanna say when the Eaton trade went down Merk was the first one running with it that it was close to completion.

January 14, 20197 yr Can we start a GoFundMe campaign and divert the "veterans building a wall" money to the Phillies' bank account so they can sign Harper ASAP before the rest of baseball wakes up and comes to their senses? This is theoretically the second occasion of "right time, right place" with Abreu and maybe even Luis Robert also qualifying.

Screw those guys.

January 14, 20197 yr 1 minute ago, caulfield12 said: Because if they don't get Harper, they're going to be under tremendous pressure to reverse course and beat the White Sox out for Machado... I still say screw them. Sign Manny before they can mess things up. Or just give this hypothetical money to the Sox to sign Manny. Whatever. Giving pretend money to the Phillies is stupid.
