So far, so good.  It would be great to see them and the Yankees both done in 3.  I would very much enjoy that.

FROM THE LAST OF THE ARTICLE:

"Buck knew, and he wanted to make sure that in a game that mattered it wouldn’t happen again, but he also granted the Red Sox this little bit of grace. It wasn’t a costly bit of grace, as the Orioles had effectively won already, but it was grace nonetheless. This might be the best managerial decision of the year. Buck knew the rules, but also knew that sometimes the rules just aren’t that important when presented with the opportunity to get to sleep 10 minutes earlier.

He was well within his rights to get a bit shirty, and embarrass John Farrell, and just generally drag this whole nightmare out, but instead he went, “Eh?” There may be no kinder small mercy than having your foot on your opponent’s neck and, rather than pressing down, letting them just go to bed."
