I tuned in during the 8th inning. I'm glad I did because it's been an epic 9th inning. On to extra innings!

Great series by two good teams. It is understandable to be jealous.

I love it when the richest team with the most loaded roster wins it all again.

Amazing 9th!
You missed some good baseball before the 8th.

Yeah. More fun for sport if Toronto had won.
They were incredibly close.
I thought it was gonna end on a replay with catchers foot off the plate. Or with outfielders doing keystone cops at the warning track. Or with Kirk at the end.

I was actually rooting for Toronto for some Trump reason.
But that was amazing amazing amazing.
When Kirk hit it I was thinking jays were gonna score, but then it was over.
So many twists and turns!
Best WS series ever.

Truly was a game of inches. How about the bottom of the 8th, when Gimenez looked like he was bunting to move a runner to 3rd, then pulled the bat back and took the "butcher boy" swing? Got exactly the result he wanted, a screaming liner that looked like it would get past the drawn-in infield . . . but it found Muncy's glove. If the Jays score there that's probably it.
Anyway, we're back to the days of the late 90s/early 00s, when the Yankees just felt like they would inevitably win it. Now it's the Dodgers.

Two games in a row end on hits that look like they'll tie the game. What a series.

Toronto has the 5th highest payroll. This wasn't Rockefeller vs Snap Recipients.

That's pretty much where college football is headed, unfortunately.

Not the outcome I was hoping for but a great game. Wild, really.
Looking forward, I mean this as a compliment, sorta: this was probably the worst Dodger team of the last 10 years and they still won it all, which is a credit to them and obviously as with all championships came with a lot of luck. It was basically a two man team.
But this feels like a death rattle win. The team is old and owes a lot of money to a lot of old guys. The farm system seems to have stopped producing contributors. Obviously, they have the money and the will to spend that money to build it back up. But at some point they become the 2000s Yankees… an old and expensive roster that mortgaged its future and those payments are coming due. Ohtani is an incredible player. Yamamoto proved he is, too. But after that it looks a little creaky. It will be interesting to see how next season goes.
