BOSTON Marshawn Lynch would be proud.

Manny Machado, the superstar turned star heel during the postseason , had just one thing to say Monday afternoon in Carl Yastrzemski Jersey the State Street Pavilion in Fenway Park: Im here to win a World Series.

He varied the wording a bit, but that was the basic repetitive idea. Machado became the focus of angst for Milwaukee fans during the NLCS, after a couple of questionable slides into second base and then dragging his foot acro s first baseman Jesus Aguilars foot after he was out by a couple steps in Game 5 in L.A.

Machado was greeted by raucous boos every time he stepped out of the dugout J.D. Martinez Jersey at Miller Park. He was asked if it might be nice not to hear the same level of booing at Fenway during the first two games of the World Series.

Were in the World Series, man, he said with a smile. It doesnt get any better than this, honestly. Well go out there, step on the field. Weve worked our butts to get here. It doesnt get any better.

Manny Machado's interview se sion, summed up in 14 seconds ...

Thing is, Machado isnt exactly a favorite here in Boston,either.

In April 2017, Machado then still with the Orioles, obviously and . The fan favorite mi sed a week of action after the incident. Machado was asked about that Monday, too.

Im Dustin Pedroia Jersey here to win a World Series ring, Machado said. Im playing in the World Series. Cant get any better than this.

He was asked a follow-up question, if he heard anything from Red Sox fans in his subsequent trips to Fenway.

Im here to win a World Series, Machado said. Im excited to be here with my team. Im excited to be here with the Dodgers. Weve got one goal, which is to win, and were not going to stop until we get it.

That slide led to an extended disagreement between the Red Sox and Orioles, and included Chris Sale the starting pitcher for the Red Sox in Game 1 . He was asked about that Monday, too.

We have bigger things to worry about now on both sides, on their side and on our side, Sale said. Were dedicated Andrew Benintendi Jersey to winning this World Series and bringing a championship to our city. We're not worried about any individual player. We've got one thing in mind and that's winning.

Machado answered other questions with actual answers, questions about the adjustment of being traded for the first time in his career, about his improvement defensively as a shortstop.

But the other, more pointed questions? He stuck to the script, with a side of baseball cliches as a bonus. It was impre sive, making both Marshawn Lynch and Crash Davis proud in the same interview se sion.

Youre not in your territory, so youre going to hear it regardle s, he said, asked about if he expects to hear a few boos. Were going to go out there and compete, were going to try and win a ring and try to leave it all on the field. Were playing a very good ballclub on the other side, Boston Red Sox Jersey and were going to need all 27 outs, all our attention on the game. Well just go out there and play.

Asked if that gives him an edge: Playing baseball? I love playing baseball.

Asked, differently, if that gives him an edge: I love playing baseball. I love my game. I love what I do. I love what I do. I cant get enough of it. Im in the World Series. It doesnt get any better than this.

You get the picture. Machado wasnt adding any fuel to the fire on interview day. Will that change when the World Series starts Tuesday and Machado once again David Ortiz Jersey roams the base paths?
