Same, first full game in a long while because family wanted to watch it. Wasn't a fan and didn't really make a fan out of me. That was agonizing 4+ hours punctuated by the terrible loss. Not really entertained. Just stressful.

Ed Rogers needs to personally refund everyone who paid more than like $500 for a ticket. We need to stop the runaway ticket prices in this city!

The Dodgers had years of choking in the playoffs before they started winning. They could afford to do that because they are always willing to pay and they attract free agents. This felt like our one shot.

man couldn’t cash in in the 8th, closer gives up a hr and then leave the bases loaded in the 9th. it felt too pathetic to keep watching, sportsnet has zero advertisers outside the ontario market, playing their own ads on their own network in the world series. i left the viewing i was at and drove home, went to watch on apple tv and the sportsnet app was down for streaming. had to run it on my laptop and screen share to the tv. tough ending but the dodgers are a good team so not much else to say about it.

There’s nothing quite like postseason baseball. I love it and hate it.

A hell of a run, but this one is going to hurt for a while.

Yamamto absolutely clutched it. First baseball ive watched and heartbreaking. Happy to see Japan dominate baseball, but not against Toronto damn.

MLSE better sign some Japanese players.

Everything that had to go wrong for us happened and it occurred at the absolute worst time.

This is the worst part about it. If this raptors roster was at least interesting to watch it could’ve helped with the pain. RJ, Quickley, Poeltl, bleh.

This loss is on Varsho and Hoffman with a big assist to the offense that couldn't execute anything when it mattered.

I don’t even know how the team is going to come back from this. A bunch of aging guys had career years, I doubt they can replicate this production again and Bo is a free agent.

Definitely a choke job, not just in this game but a few times this series.
But overall, what a fantastic and entertaining season and a lot to look forward to next year, with or without Bo.

Not likely to have this chance again.

That was a totally unexpected playoff ride.

Even though the Jays couldn’t close the deal, it was an amazing year. I can’t be mad.

Go Jays!
