Our great country is divided. But the Red Sox and Mets fans at Fenway Park just joined together to chant "Yankees suck."
Truly heartwarming.

- As Bartolo Colon starts his outing at Fenway, the Red Sox coaching staff has more plate appearances against him (63) than do the players on the roster (62).
- Replying to @MikeSegalovIn an elevator. Billy Crystal and Robin Williams get on. Billy sees my press credential and we chat about baseball. I tell him I love Princess Bride. After a second, Robin says, "You don't love any of my fucking movies?" I'm horrified. Then he bursts out laughing. "Got you, pal."
- Members of the Fab Five still having issues with timeouts.
- Christian Vázquez has caught 33 innings in this postseason and the eight pitchers he has worked with have allowed one run.
- #RedSox first-ballot Hall of Famers: Ted Williams (1966) Carl Yastrzemski (1989) Wade Boggs (2005) Pedro Martinez (2015) David Ortiz (2022)
- This was waiting for us in the press box today. Great job by the Sox.
- A "F--- Kyrie" chant broke out at Fenway Park. Then it changed to "Yankees suck." They're playing the hits.
- Xander Bogaerts stayed in the dugout alone as the Sox shook hands on the field then tipped his cap to Cora, Devers, etc.
- Mookie Betts drives in the winning run of the World Series and Alex Verdugo makes the final out. You can't make this up.
- "This game was ripped out of my hands. I had a hole in my chest for two years ... I'm not wasting another damn day in my big league career." A very emotional Chris Sale post game.
- So I wrote this story — www3.bostonglobe.com/sports/redsox/… — a year ago about Mookie Betts being distantly related to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex. They met today and Mookie told her about the story. Then they hugged. What a thing.
