ALCS Game 5: Red Sox headed to World Series thanks to unlikely hero David Price

Two-door Ford suffered unrepairable damage after a head-on collision with facts & truth.

I like your new tagline, btw. Very clever!

Did you see the Astros fans behind home plate mimicking Kimbrel's pose during Game 4?

Very sorry I didn't notice the fans behind the plate! Hard for me to get past the batters' reactions. If you look at the batters' faces, Kimbrel's albatross-yoga pose really does screw with their concentration. Even some of the MLB veteran batters' eyes are big as saucers. Others look like WTF is that?

Kimbrel may look like a loon n the mound, but the look is very effective.

Slightly off-topic (NL as opposed to AL)--saw an interesting analysis about dirty Manny Machado. Machado's contract is up at the end of this year. He was fined $10K for trying to break Brewer Aguilar's ankle/foot at 1B the other night. Machado's bush league behavior on the field is expected to seriously hurt his free agent value. If you get a chance to read widely quoted comments by NL MVP candidate Christian Yelich and Brewers manager Craig Counsell regarding Machado's recent behavior, they are both classy and spot on the money.

Thanks for comment about the tagline...

You are right, of course. Great pic of "albatross yoga pose" Kimbrel there, lol. Although I'm sure he looks even more fearsome now with that awful long red beard!

2007 Red Sox Champion closer Jonathan Papelbon had a somewhat similar fierce pose and stare, but it was nowhere as weird as Kimbrel's! ;-)

Very interesting, thanks. I saw that dirty hit on Aguilar's ankle/foot by Manny the other night... outrageous! And there was Machado yelling at his former teammate Aguilar as if HE did something wrong! Machado is a POS, and has been for a long time. Glad he was fined, but I assume $10K is chump change for him.

The Brewers were such a classy team (maybe except for Ryan Braun). I was sorry to see them lose in Game 7. I don't know which team would have been more difficult for the Red Sox, but we were rooting for the Brewers to win the NL title.
