I canโ€™t remember the last time the Internet was this into base ball. Thereโ€™s a lot of funny internetting out there after the Worldโ€™s Series.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa was told to stick to third. Did it cost the Blue Jays a ring? The Blue Jays had plenty of chances to win their first World Series since 1993. But none will be more scrutinized than IKF in the ninth.
