Hoping there are a few other baseball fans here (in addition to the NFL malarkey).
Blue Jays just made it to the World Series for the first time in 32 years!  |  |

Rats! It's easy to second guess but the Jays should never have deliberately walked Otani. It just pissed off the batter behind him. |  | | |

I find this rather mystifying I must say. But my son (ardent follower) tells me that Blue Jays do this a lot and there's some maths behind it. If I have further info I'll let you know. |  | | |

Well if you have nothing better to do this evening - a winner takes all game 7. I'll probably have it on in the background. | |

Oh yeah. I understand why you would walk the best hitter the oppo has in a tight regular season game. But, you're also walking the guy on base ahead of him, so almost any ground ball out of the infield scores a run. You're also telling to the batter at the plate that he's a weak link, which is likely to piss him of just a little bit. Not a good idea in the sixth game of a World Series. | | | |

Even the bat splintered on the final Toronto out. A better connection might not have seen a double out and the guy on third might have got home to tie it.
What a hell of a way for the series to conclude. Riveting stuff to the very end. Sport eh? Now that's what I'm talkin' aboot. | |

It's only sportsing of course, but was hard to watch those fans' dreams fall apart over the last 3 innings. They were so close. |  | | |

Watched the game with my son (Jays fan) last night naively thinking it would cheer me up after our lot's debacle. Needless to say we're both extremely grumpy this morning. I had nightmares about THAT free-kick to add to my general misanthropic mood. Sigh. | | | |

Talk about fine margins. The ball that got lodged at the foot of the stands, the Dodger that lifted his foot momentarily off the plate and then just got it back down to retire the Blue Jay runner sliding into home, Kirk's broken bat on the last play. Really feel for them, distraught kids and adults crying afterwards. I think the Dodgers were marginally the better team last night, if the Jays had Yamomoto pitching at the end I think they'd have won that. Oh well, there's always next year. I think the Jays won a lot of new fans. |  | | |

Result aside. It was, by some distance, the best World Series I've witnessed.
Over the past decade or so my interest in baseball had flagged. Too many other sports, too many other things still to do in a life that has fewer years ahead of it than in the rear view mirror. I gotta say the past few weeks have changed that.
Roll on next spring eh? | | | |

Absolutely riveting series and final game. Two great teams with contrasting strengths giving it their all. Really could have gone either way at several different junctures.
Feel sorry for the Jays who must have thought the dream was coming true in that ninth innings. | | | |

So many ifs and what might have beens. Gutting.
If Kiner-Falefa had been a bit more brave standing further off 3rd base, he'd have made that winning run at the bottom of the 9th no problem 
Brilliant series and the Jays more than played their part, a lot of people beforehand would have had the Dodgers as 4-0 winners. And fair play to Yamamoto, well deserved MVP. | |
