(Skipped boxscore,but we won and are going to the World Series,so who cares?)
(The A's lost the game today,but won tomorrow and beat the M's in 5 games,so the Cubs will play the A's in the World Series!)

Yeah I know I'm late, but I'll take Hawpe (if he wasn't already taken) but isn't he on the Rockies?

Umm, let's see, yeah, but he traded for him.

Ok. The OP will be updated

Ok thanks.

No problem, but did you vote in the poll?

Which poll?

The one on page 9

"We are here,finally." Frank said.
"Yep,it has been a long journey."Mark replied
"Do you have a free agent scout?(New Opening)"Frank asked.
"What is that?"Mark asked back
"Well,it is someone who recommends players to sign and maybe trades if they get enough trust."Franks stated.
"I will have to hire someone like that soon then." Mark said
If interested post here or PM me. You will basically give advice on players to get (I will do it at a time we both are on most likely)
