MILWAUKEE – Here it comes, the blockbuster Game 7 in all its glory later tonight, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers for the right to play the Boston Red Sox in the World Series, and ….
Forget nervous stomachs.
What the Dodgers really need is for Manny Machado to tame the butterflies in his head.
There always was going to be a price to pay for his bush-league behavior in Los Angeles in this National League Championship Series, kicking Brewers first baseman Jesus Aguilar as he crossed first base in Game 4 and explaining away the periodic dog in him with his infamous hustling is “not my cup of tea” remarks, and the first check came due hard in Friday night’s 7-2 Game 6 loss to the Brewers.
