[align=center]RedSox travel back to Oakland for 3 more games against the Athletics [/align] [align=center][/align]

They are the ones from the 2008 mod.

There won't be any games or updates until tomorrow because I've just had to reformat my hard drive and I'm just currently reinstalling everything and retrieving everything that is backed up.

[align=center]RedSox destroyed at home by the Royals Top - Jorge Sosa comes in to make his debut for the RedSox and struggles. Good trade or not? Bottom - RedSox are lost after the Royals have a massive day at Fenway Top - Gload hits his second homerun in as many days in the first inning Bottom - Butler gets drilled by a pitch, he then leaves the game injured Boxscore Game 50 Vs Kansas[/align]

[align=center][/align] [align=center]Hernandez set for his RedSox debut at DH[/align]

[align=center][/align] [align=center]Valverde is now the set up man for the RedSox and Sosa is a middle relief pitcher[/align] [align=center] Crisp moves straight into the starting line up, taking the place of Michael Bourn[/align]

[align=center][/align] Okajima is now the Orioles new closer taking over from Chris Ray Ramon Hernandez's position on the team isn't clear yet. He may start over Varitek or they might split games equally

[align=center][/align] Analysis of the trades are on the way

[align=center]Bullpen fails for the RedSox in this shutout loss to the Royals Top - Drew watches strike three cross the plate, thats about as good as it got for the RedSox at the plate Bottom - Lowrie steals second safely to set up a chance to score a run Top - Gload starts the scoring with a solo homerun off of start Lester Bottom - Bannister makes a great catch on a hard comebacker from Kevin Youkilis Boxscore Game 49 Vs Kansas[/align]

[align=center]RedSox pound the Royals to keep up the pressure on the following teams in the AL East Top - Lowell starts the scoring with a big grand slam in the first inning off of starter Davies Bottom - Ramirez celebrates at home plate after getting in on the run scoring with his solo shot in the eighth inning Top - Rosa takes a line drive in the head but thankfully he left the field under his own power and is set to only miss about 2 weeks Bottom - Gload makes a fairly average stop at firstbase but was one of the highlights of the game for the Royals. It really was that bad. Boxscore Game 48 Vs Kansas[/align]

[align=center]*On the presentation the record for Buchholz is wrong. Its meant to be 1-0 with 5.40 ERA*[/align]

[align=center][/align]

[align=center] Top - Ellsbury climbs the wall in the first inning to rob Jose Guillen of an extra base hit and to end the inning for the Royals Bottom - Crisp rounds the bases following his 3 run homer that would be the final nail in the coffin for the Royals in the eighth Top - Dice-K had the Royals off balance all day with his nasty splitter and curveball combination. Gordon strikes out on a well placed splitter Bottom - Teahan swings and connects on a rare poor pitch from Dice-K to start the scoring for the Royals Boxscore Game 47 Vs Kansas[/align]

If i go after Valverde i think i will need to include a couple of other good players because i'm not sure if the Astros will accept a straight swap for Crisp.

Haha, i haven't got as many as you :lmao: i've only started 3 MVP and a baseball mogul one before this one.

Thanks for the extremely kind words. Please when insulting my players, please spell thier name correctly (Papelbon) :club: I think im a fair way from being a rival to JR's dynasties. Although for the most part its been very quiet in regards to people leaving messages i've not been too worried by that because i'm having so much fun doing this dynasty, whereas my other dynasties that i didn't finish i was more concerned with how many people left comments instead of getting on with the games.
