^His story is cool too.

He and his family were all Sox fans…until the Yanks drafted him. Can was pissed at social media comments made at his mother. He took the remarks personally and used that emotion as motivation.

Ben Rice, on the other hand, grew up a Yankee fan and as a kid, wrote “Yankees rule”, on the Pesky Pole.

Frustrating the amount of self inflicted dumb mental errors the Sox made in Game 2 and Game 3. It was a continuation of what we saw all year from this team. I like Cora as man and a leader but I feel like it may be time to part ways, this team played a dumb brand of baseball this year and it's been like this for a few years.

I tried to stay up, but turned off after the 14th inning. Who knew it would only go one more…. :?

Gotta say, the Dodgers & Blue Jay's played a hell of a World Series. What an ending to game 7. And Mookie with the double play to end it. Sox should try to get guys like him 8)

Unreal Game 7, and really series overall.

Unbelievable. Won’t get into all the screw ups the Blue Jays had from the 8th inning on. They completely blew that game in the most painful way possible. If the Red Sox did what they did in the late innings at Fenway we’d be back to the old days of Boston misery.

Hell of a series though. Great for baseball, felt like everyone I talked to that aren’t huge seam heads were watching this series.

Blue Jays certainly had their chances, but they made too many mistakes. Definitely an exciting World Series
