One big thing that’s stuck with me after the sting of losing is now knowing - beyond any doubt - that Vladdy and Bo are legit postseason beasts and when you have that confidence in your highly paid, home/grown stars, that sure as fuck makes a team a lot easier to root for……..

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper

www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

And in that pause between pitch and contact - longer than logic, shorter than hope - we remembered why baseball existed long before we judged a sport's value by viral moments and betting apps. It is the romance of failure. The mortal beauty of trying and missing seven times out of 10 and still being considered great. It is the only sport where patience is a weapon, and panic the surest death. You cannot simply run out the clock in baseball; you must face it, pitch by terrifying pitch, until it finally releases you.

Didn't like last night's loss, but heartened by the fact that it seems like the Dodgers can only win against the Jays on the back of incredibly unlikely events like an 18 inning game or a ball getting stuck in the wall.

Yup 10000%. I hate that it took us getting old to finally learn some wisdom….

The man executed perfectly. Like you say, sometimes you just gotta tip your cap. Let’s just score more fucking runs before the 9th so we don’t need a miracle comeback.

Yeah it’s stressful blah blah but tonight is gonna be fucking exciting. I’ve never lived through a World Series game 7 and may never see one again. These are the kinds of potential legacy sporting moments that stay seared into our consciousness till they put us in the ground. Let’s fucking go.

This crazy series is deserving of a game 7. What a wild ride, man. I’m enjoying every second of this shit.

Not sure - maybe they were able to read at a 6th grade level?

Thank you Peggy - there has never been a customer review that has made me run to a restaurant faster. I can’t wait for dinner tonight.

No matter what happens with this amazing, lovable Jays team, shifting focus back to this fucking rancid Leafs era is gonna be about as much fun as watching your grandparents fuck.

The good, the bad and everything in between - we can’t take for granted we’ll ever live through this again. Milking every second.

I’m as jaded a fan as they come but if you can’t be totally revelling in how historic this moment is, i don’t know how you can pretend to claim you like sports.

I’d have Bichette on the next flight back to Toronto and he doesn’t see another fucking at bat this series. Unforgivable.
