This could be kershaw's last start as a dodgers, let's start something and bring it back to Boston. I'm still shell-shocked so not sure if the players will have any fight left.

Hard to disagree without being labeled as irrational and delusional.

I assume LA has seen the last of Machado. He was useless in the Series; it seemed he was pressing too hard at the plate trying to hit every pitch out.

The script all year has been Kershaw will opt out, Price won’t. I wonder if anything shifts on those after the past few weeks.

He looks like a genius now.

The best motivation for the Red Sox to win tonight is Tuesday's Boston weather report: 41 degrees after the sun sets.
