Isn’t that Jack Buck’s version? I don’t know - he kind of turns me off. Too goody-goody.

OK. Well, for me she made herself, not Kimbrel, look really bad. Guess I’ve fallen out of love...

Yes! Couldn’t ask for a better end to the game, than a Machado strikeout! I can imagine what was going in in his head. Bet he didnt dare act up.

Can’t think of a sweeter ending to the WS than Manny Machado’s big swing for the third strike, final out. :::grin:::

I know... Love it! And the video clip of the last out of the game -- with punk Machado collapsing on the ground -- is of course being played over and over again everywhere today, LOL!

In a moment of exuberance following the win, David Price flings his ball cap into the LA stands. Good news—a Boston fan caught the cap.

Nice moment. It's astounding how many Red Sox fans were at last night's game. However, Dodger Stadium has about a 50,000 capacity, plus there's a *huge* contingent of Red Sox fans in Southern California.

Sonny McLean's is one of the several Red Sox bars we've visited out there in past years. Sonny McLean's organizes bus trips to (usually) The Big A (Angel's Stadium) in Anaheim to cheer on the Red Sox when they are in town.

And of course I'm sure many Red Sox fans traveled to LA from the east coast as well for the games.

LOVE THAT DIRTY WATER!!!

Yeah baby! For those who aren't familiar with The Red Sox two victory songs played after every win at Fenway:

Red Sox victory song:

Dirty Water by The Standells

Red Sox victory song #2:

Tessie by the Dropkick Murphys

Some info about the history behind the "Tessie" song:

Royal Rooters

We’ll have to stop in to Tony C’s the next time we’re in Boston.

We’ve only been to the Cask n Flagon.

The Cask 'n Flagon is an institution in the Fenway neighborhood, but there are many other great bars/restaurants there, too.

Our favorite is the (very small) Bleacher Bar, located under Sections 34 and 35 of Fenway Park (the "bleachers"):

Bleacher Bar

If you ever plan to visit the Bleacher Bar, get there *several hours* before the Fenway Park gates open.

More great bars in the Fenway Park neighborhood:

Tony C's (Named for Tony Conigliaro)

Lansdowne Pub

McGreevy's Bar

Game On! Fenway

If you are ever up in the northern part of Boston, near TD Garden, do not miss The Fours.

Tip: Get there several hours before TD Garden's doors open. For example, for a 7:00 pm Bruins game... try to get there around 4:00 - 4:30.

Yes, thanks for that reminder that The Punk went 0 for 4 last night! ;-)
