Nathan Eovaldi should be high on Boston’s priority list, he’s a perfect fit and the perfect modern day pitcher Cora loves.

Rob Manfred is about to get a contract extension to remain The Commissioner of Major League Baseball for another 5 years. That is outstanding news for all baseball fans, because Mr. Manfred is a man on a mission to save our beautiful game. And why does our game need saving? Because ratings and attendance are down, more every year. How is it that the World Series between Boston and LA, two historical franchises, had reduced ratings of 20% over the prior year? Because people hate the Red Sox. Oh, and it takes too long. The game simply takes too long.
It took 18 innings, but the Red Sox lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 3-2 in World Series Game 3. This puts the Sox up 2-1 in the series and still in the cat birds seat for a World Series Championship.
The Boston Red Sox beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 of the World Series. David Price was locked in, the relentless 2 out offense was in bloom, and now the Sox have a 2-0 lead. We're not in the peak Eck 'Time To Party' zone yet, but man oh man are we getting close!

It's Alex Cora's world. We're all just living in it. Cora continues to absolutely dunk on his managerial opponents, including in the 2018 World Series. This game is a prime example of his managerial domination. By the time the 7th inning was over, Dave Roberts had used all of his bench players and the game was effectively over.
The Mookie debate about where he should play in Dodger stadium is so obviously over. But that means someone else in the outfield has to sit. It's a grudge match between Jackie Bradley Jr. and Andrew Benintendi. Let's get ready to rumble!
The LA Dodgers just dispatched the upstart Brewers and cashed their ticket to face the Red Sox in the 2018 World Series. Cue the grainy black and white photos of The Babe in a Red Sox uniform. Cue The Dropkick Murphys grinding rendition of Tessy. Cue fans using the Brooklyn Robins in barroom and water cooler talk and the million google searches for ‘Red Sox Dodgers world series’ landing on the 1916 World Series page on Wikipedia. Cue every old Brooklyn Dodger fan coming out of the woodwork and slightly less grainy photos and videos of Roy Campanella and Jackie Robinson and Pee Wee Reese. Cue a mountain of content on the 1988 LA Dodgers World Series winners. Cue the Fever Pitch scene where the old guy counts off the string of Red Sox world series wins in 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918. Cue Dave Roberts making his fateful steal in the bottom of the 9th in game 4 against Mariano Rivera. Cue pictures of Alex Cora in an LA Dodgers uniform. The cue rating of this series is through the roof! It’s an old school, original 6 type of World Series that will be chock full of intrigue and potential controversy at the very least. With a resounding thud all the doubting and putting down of the 2018 Red Sox has been pushed off the desks of commentators nationwide
