Yeah,that Yawkey thing annoyed me too.
I always remember Mrs. Yawkey puffing away on her cigarettes while watching the games.
She couldn’t do that now.

How appropriate that the last out was a strikeout of the immature and narcissistic Manny Machado, and on his knee at that (.227 with 18 K’s). In his last nine games of the post season he batted .184 (7-for-38) with three RBIs.
Machado’s most memorable hit was notable for all the wrong reasons. During the sixth inning of Game 3, he had a little too much self-confidence when he apparently thought he hit a home run to left field. Instead, Machado admired what turned out to be a 368-foot single as it bounced off the wall. Had Machado run it out, it might have been a double.
During the NLCS, he was criticized for not hustling during a groundout, kicking Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar near the ankle as he jogged out a groundout which drew a $10,000 fine.
He’s a perpetual adolescent.
I was rooting for Boston, but I'm just glad it's over.
Did you know that he has played for all five AL East teams?
He also was in my city, Pittsburgh in 2008.
