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...

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.
