Wow, I was just looking him up on Fangraphs and it's easy to forget how valuable a player he was. He had a nine year stretch where he put up 58.1 fWAR. Helllllllllllllll no. He was so much fun to watch.
Boston. Lester. Teams shove off from their own players all the time with those kind of shitty offers; we're talking about going after a FA like Price. Now dance for me.

And they had a timeout so it's not like that had to worry about the clock running if they got stopped short. I'm still stunned at how this [expletive] thing played out. How could you call something so ridiculously stupid given everything available...I...I just...WHAT THE [expletive]. [expletive] Boston.
blame the dog I can't; I swear, I'm the only one that can smell how badly the dog here keeps farting and people are starting to suspect I'm hiding something.
