NinjaBro why? Why the **** would you say something like this man? You know you're a walking jinx lol smh.

I believe in my heart of hearts that it was a swing with home run rizz. Like the ball was going down the middle and even with a majority of the momentum dissipated it still popped pretty high in the sky. We've seen Kirk hit that stance time and time again after hitting a perfect zinger and it looked picture perfect this time. It was destined for the ceiling of the Skydome. I can't imagine how pissed off he is.

Which play are you talking about? On the last play where Kirk broke his bat, he lined out into a double play. Nowhere close to hitting a home run.

The battle with Seattle was all for nothing.
I'm primarily a Raps fan, but I can't imagine getting to the finals and getting a kick to the balls.

More of a Raps fan as well, but this was the most likeable team Toronto has ever had.
It made me think back to the 2019 run and how different the personalities are. Loved that 2019 team obviously, but it more a collection of individuals than a group of people committed to one another.
Kawhi obviously was all about himself, but then I remembered Vanvleet, Siakam and Nurse were all heavily pushing their personal brands throughout the playoffs (as if anyone would buy their gear). Just lame people on that Raptors team by comparison.

Then they do an overcorrection in game 7 and have the guy hugging 3rd base.. someone revisit the amount of errors that was made.
Anyways congrats to the Dodgers obviously.. they're probably my 2nd favorite franchise (Raptors/Lakers and Jays/Dodgers).. but man it's a game of inches and we couldn't capitalize on a plethora of opportunities.
Bingo. He could never pull these stunts in Boston. It ain’t sweet over here either bro..

Carlos Febles needs to go.
out!3B coach Carlos Febles made multiple costly mistakes this World Series.
Many people are discussing whether IKF should have had a larger lead from third in the 9th inning, and how that falls on the shoulders of the 3B coach to communicate. It opened my eyes to some of the other questionable actions the Blue Jays 3B coach made.
I actually first noticed his actions on the Gimenez RBI double in the 8th. He was spazzing out on the sideline, but not in a communicative way. He was jumping and spazzing and trying some half discernible green light motion that wasn’t timed with the ball landing fair. Seemed more caught up in the emotion of the moment, but no big deal the play worked out.
But then I looked back at game 3. There were 2 costly baserunning outs in the late innings that fell squarely on Febles shoulders. He gave no stop sign to IKF advancing to third in the 9th. He gave no stop sign to Kirk running home in the 10th where he got thrown out by a mile.
I don’t know how much thought went into that positions hiring. I don’t know how much thought goes into the general hiring of any base coach. But it seems like such a heads up job should require your most focused and emotionally detached coach.
