That was just brutal. Right up there with watching the Seahawks get raped by a bunch of crooked refs in SBXL.

To lose the last two games of the series At Home, the way they did it, is amazing.

Two outs away, and you give up a home run to a utility ball player.

Were I a Blue Jays fan, I’d absolutely be beside myself.

Is it more you hate the entire team or just certain players on the team (ala Springer). To be honest I didn't really care either way. It's a shame they couldn't both lose. How is Toronto a top 5 payroll team when their only paying Vlad.

Top Salaries In millions:
Vlad - 28
Springer - 24
Gausman - 23
Scherzer - 15
Giminez - 10
Bieber - 10
Bassit - 22
Berrios - 19
Bichette - 17

That's roughly 170mill in 9 players. The rest are around 80mill total.

Congrats to the Jays for some of the worst base running I've ever seen in a World Series. :D

And didn't I read that our budget was going to be something like 180 this year? Gross.

I hate the BlueJays manager. He's a fucking blowhard that thinks way to highly of himself. I doubt there is a "Head Coach" in any sport more replaceable than a baseball manager. Give some nerd a spreadsheet with matchups, and a good hitting and pitching coach and if he has talent he will win. Schneider is a dickhead, and I've thought that ever since he opened his big stupid mouth about Cal being easy to get out. Yep, sure seems that way you fucking blowhard.

Then add in that their fans complained that we treated Springer poorly, yet boo'd Otani because he had the gall to sign with someone else? Their POS SS tries to get hit by a pitch and then starts a bench clearing brawl when he does get hit? Fuck them.

On the other hand, the Dodgers did some miraculous things to win. Rojas going yard in the 9th and then making that play in the bottom of the inning, that catch by Pages while steamrolling Hernandez, and Yamamoto turning the clock back 100 years by taking the mound again.

That was the second-greatest non-Mariner game of my lifetime after Game 6 of the 1975 World Series which was my introduction to baseball.
