My father left for the hospital on a stretcher tonight. He's very sick. I really hope he makes it back home to my mom. I want to stay positive. I need to stay positive. But I also remain realistic. Send your prayers please. πŸ™

Y'know, you don't have to stay friends with people who are toxic, who make you feel bad. It's your life. It belongs to you. This year, I dropped a number of people who were MAGAs/Trump supporters and I felt utterly relieved. A huge weight lifted off my shoulders. It felt GREAT. I highly suggest it.

What a season. What a World Series. One of the best I've ever seen. Thank you, #BlueJays.

I'm exhausted. All the emotions, the ups & downs. It's draining, man. Dunno if I'll make to the end of this one... #BlueJays

I want an Ernie Clement bobblehead next year. #BlueJays, do it. I need that in my collection.

What a game. What a World Series. Unforgettable. #BlueJays

It's strange. Some sites say Louis, others Louie. But MLB says Louis, so you must be right.

What a performance by Scherzer. Quite possibly his very last in the MLB. I had serious doubts when they signed him but I'm glad they did. He brought experience and leadership to this #BlueJays team. πŸ‘

Never seen the benches clear in a World Series game. Never. In 40+ years. Wow. This is a first. #BlueJays

Wow. Great work by the offense. And so much respect for Bichette and Georgie who are obviously injured and hurting yet are playing as if their lives depended on this one game. They're on a mission. Remarkable. πŸ‘ #BlueJays

Well, I predicted it would end in 7 games. Here we are. One way or another, there'll be tears at the Rogers Centre tonight : tears of joy or sadness. It was fun to follow the #BlueJays this year and whatever the outcome of the game is please stay classy. Just be grateful for the rollercoaster ride.

Final : 3-1. One bad inning. One last try. Game 7 in a few hours. #BlueJays

Wow. Incredible 1st inning for Gausy. Hope the rest of his outing will be as strong. πŸ™πŸ‘ #BlueJays

Ok. Here we go... Gausman's there. Georgie too. Very fine lineup. I like it. Could end tonight. And I believe it will. #BlueJays

Like Joe Carter's walk-off home run, we'll be talking about Trey Yesavage's Game 5 performance 30 years from now. It was pure poetry. #BlueJays

I can hardly believe it, honestly. Good night.

Final : 6-1. Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Truly amazing Yesavage performance. Good work by the offense. This team is something special. Impressive beyond words. One. More. Win. It could happen in Toronto next Friday. #BlueJays

Masterful Yeasavage outing. The future is bright for this kid. πŸ‘ #BlueJays

Wow. This is a totally transformed team. Has nothing to do with last year's lineup who struggled with RISP, small ball and power. Gotta give credit to David Popkins. I believe he's the main reason of the team's offensive success this season. #BlueJays
