That fan with his head on the dugout near the end was so rough to see. Lots of really bummed Canadians up there. I was really rooting for em, too.

Dodgers are a hell of a team. What an incredible Series and playoffs in general.

I hate everything LA but the Dodgers earned this one. What a game. What a series. So many memorable and whacky, absurd moments.

Definitely karma for all the **** that was said after the ALCS.

Great series. But an even better ending. 8-)

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

I don't care what anyone says about the Dodgers buying their team. They played awful all playoffs but they won with grit. Last year it felt almost easy but this year is different. They hit like crap but they came through when it was needed and were mostly carried by starting pitching and defense.

Dodgers were extremely lucky in this series. No need to overanalyze much.

There has been worst losses than this, Patriots 18-1 season and a experienced Russia team losing to a team full of rookies in hockey Miracle on Ice comes to mind

The Jays lost more than the Dodgers won. They have a complete goof as their manager. John and his red face need to screw off into the void. I feel for Vladdy and the guys who actually showed up today.

We had way too much reliance on scrubs like Varsho, Hoffman and even Little. The Jays need to sort out their bull pen. It's the reason why they had so many close series. Then there's the 10+ runner they left on base in game 6 and 7. Being a Canadian sports fan is always so rough. The ump behind the base seemed to have it out for them.

Celtics game 7 of 2010 Finals had to sting really bad. Like a cold dagger to the heart. I bet they really suffered after that one, especially after they had a 13 point lead. Oh man I bet they thought they had another championship in their hands. That loss had to have given them deep seeded trauma I'm sure of it. Just an awful feeling for them every time they see those purple and gold jerseys. Possibly the worst loss ever. The hangovers the next day must've been legendary. So much chowdah vomited down toilets. Must've been really painful. Right Celtic fans? Ooof what a sting.

I can't believe the Dodgers overcame their $350 million payroll and won! Those last two ABs from TOR were some of the worst you'll ever see. Guy watches two strikes and then swings at a breaking ball that was out of the K zone at release. Dreadful. Then a guy swings at a breaking ball outside, watches a strike right down the middle and then grounds into a double play. Springer's AB the inning before was terrible as well.

They hit .203 in this series. Outside of Yamamoto, the other starters all got hit at some point or another by the Jays where they didn't have a significant impact on winning games. The Dodgers won game 3 with a nobody reliever, Klein, pitching for 4 innings. For all the losers that keep saying that the Dodgers bought this championship, they don't even win this series if not for their non "star" players (their "cheap" players).

I know most NBA fans don't get it but a stacked roster doesn't guarantee you a damn thing in baseball. The #2 payroll team didn't even make the postseason and 4 of the top 10 didn't either. It takes a lot to win in baseball, you need luck, you need unprecedented plays, sometimes you even need a pitcher that pitches back to back days (something that I can't recall has ever happened in the fashion that Yamamoto just did). This isn't the NBA where if you have a stacked roster with stars that you're guaranteed the playoffs let alone even a finals appearance.

The Dodgers needed a lot to go their way to win this series and them having a higher payroll than the Blue Jays didn't contribute an inch towards it. If this was a sweep I'd at least understand where morons who keep crying about payroll would have even an inch to stand on. Not this series, sorry. Take that **** elsewhere.
