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

The Dodgers' luck is formidable.

Is this why they pay Yamamoto $325,000,000?

Yup.

He pitched another 3 innings and got a DOUBLE PLAY BALL.

Another Randy Johnson.
Another Mickey Lolich
Another Grover Cleveland

3 Wins = MVP

That was one hell of a series. Those two teams were evenly matched.

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

What a great series. I thought the Blue Jays were the better team but my Dodgers refused to be beaten. Heart of champions.

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.

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.

It was, in the end, great competition no matter the salaries. If a little guy from Japan has to come in late to pitch 3 innings after pitching last night, and HE almost is the losing pitcher…. At some point the story is just human stories - who, when.

It could have gone either way!
It was inches away.
Both teams made force outs at the plate. Crazy.

Yup.
Watched the whole game.
Riveting!

Worst thing about this game was seeing Magic Johnson maneuver his way to center stage when the trophies were lifted.

Attention horror!

(Gotta spell it that way for a reason, for two reasons)

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.

Yeah. Bullet right to him. So lucky. That has nothing to do with payroll.

The only thing missing was kershaw pitching. I actually think it would have been most storybook if he had gotten the final out.

Ya gotta feel horrible for Toronto fans.
Like, literally VOMIT sick they must be.
Horribly cruel.

They should hold their heads high, but sick sick sick.

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

The Dodgers are kind of lapping the field on team wealth right now.

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.

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

Lol. The Dodgers farm system is one of the best in baseball. They trade good prospects for star players. Will Smith, whom you discounted a few years ago, just hit the game winning World Series home run. The giants, who absolutely suck, would love to be in their situation next year. There is no mortgage due. They make cash hand over fist.

But hey, let's donate and play that game, right?



People are upset about Wilcox's contract, or whatever else, but how many of them give and in doing so support such a system?
