The Yankees in the alcs. Thanks for the laugh, brother.

Except these weren't retaliatory throws. They were brushbacks to get Machado from crowding the plate. Perfectly acceptable strategy with no foul intent. Basically, Machado is throwing temper tantrums at this point.

The torch has been passed for "Manny being Manny." He's been a little dick this entire series, and someone in his clubhouse needs to sit him down for that what's-what conversation.

He was trying to protect Aoki.

Nice try, troll.

(Fingers in ears) Laa Laa Laa! Not listening! I'm still pretending Weezer died after Pinkerton.

I saw this last night and re-watched it twice because I thought I missed something. Nope. Machado is just insane. This was a routine play. Machado reacted as if . . . well, I'm not sure. As if Donaldson should have let him go to third? Unclear.

Boo hoo...The Boston Garden was perfectly acceptable all through the 80's where heat was expected in the Finals year after year against the Lakers. Granted that was an NBA that wasn't a watered down version of what it has become.

Barry, if you're going to indirectly feed into the conspiracy machine by quoting Duncan, Ginobili and Parker on their comfort with high temperatures, you should also include these quotes so you're not mistaken for a cherry-picker.

Things will only get worse when the games shift to Miami's arena, where there's a lack of real fans.

Seriously. Parker is a water-bug, Ginobili scores some of the most creative baskets since AI, they've got a bunch of guys that can bomb threes, and they're anchored by one of the 10 greatest players, ever. That ain't boring. It's awesome.

I'll take you up on that.

Why are they playing during Vin Scully's story time? I'm serious. I could listen to him tell baseball stories all day long. The game is secondary. God bless him and God bless Don Zimmer. RIP.

And their entire TV channel that the M's own is about as self-critical and journalistically independent as North Korean State TV.

If that's at the French Open, shouldn't somebody be wearing a Raspberry Beret?
