Just a reminder that there are 28 other fanbases that would be happy to feel what we’re feeling today.

Baseball first broke my heart in 1981.
It truly is a game of failure, which makes both the pinnacles and valleys of the sport that much more intense.

Obviously, Bessent is still smarting from Canada’s Four Nations hockey win.

While I don’t know if this was the greatest Series ever (recency bias and all that), I’m fairly confident you can put Yamamoto’s performance up with those of Smokey Joe Wood, Pete Alexander, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson, Mickey Lolich, and Randy Johnson.
The Dodgers don’t win without him

You can’t pin last night’s loss on one player.

Quite frankly, I think Doug Ford owes all of Canada an apology for his Ring of Fire commercial.

Yesterday was probably the best day of my baseball life, so I can live with tonight.

Let’s hope it doesn’t take another 32 years to get back.

Ok, so now we can all focus our attention on the Leafs, right?

When I first saw Vladdy at 3rd in 2017, he made plays on balls he got to. With his hands, footwork, and baseball IQ, he’s a natural at 1st.

I learned this week that the Blue Jays pay for Spanish lessons for their staff.

My Blue Jays MiLB contact said when he saw Yesavage in spring training, he thought he could start at AAA.

I was going to write about Eric Pardinho in a newsletter today, but something came up.

My son’s flight from Vancouver Thursday night was full of Jays fans.
Buffalo Bisons pitching coach Drew Hayes flew Air Canada from Nashville, and said the same thing.

Cool.

Time to get Max out of there, Schneids.

Hit the ball hard, you win.

Unless it lodges in the outfield padding.

You don’t need to run when you hit them that far.

If Ohtani gets extra time to warm up, Jays should get a courtesy runner for Bo.

Tonight’s not the night to take borderline pitches.

Paul Molitor played the game the right way.

I’ve let Jays management know that I’m ready (front row centre) if they need me tonight.

Errors of Commission = Acceptable
Errors of Omission = Unacceptable

Youngest son had a flight home to Vancouver at 9 am today, so luckily we didn’t have to worry about staying too long at the victory celebration.
We did have leftover birthday cake at home to console ourselves, however.

It’s always good to win the last baseball game of the season.

Today’s another day, Blue Jays fans.

Nope.
Elite athletes put failure behind them quickly and far more effectively than us mere mortals.

There’s a reason outfield walls are padded, this guy’s career chief among them.

That’s not how a game should end.

Sasaki threw two of his last three warm up tosses high and way outside.
