While I have no love for Toronto, I root for whomever the Dodgers are playing.

An uncle was so disgusted by the words and platitudes before they left Brooklyn that it firmly impressed upon my mind.

No Dodgers, no how.

He was about 25 years older than our side of the family, and he held that grudge until he died. So his love for baseball came when he was a kid. Other teams moved, the Braves among them, but I never felt that emotion from him. Keep in mind that his side of the family lived and raised them two miles from the Kennedy compound, in MA.

50 years later, I have no idea why I dislike the Dodgers.

Just seems right.

The last time Toronto won was 1993.
Dodgers won last year.
That is reason enough to pull for Toronto.

"While I have no love for Toronto, I root for whomever the Dodgers are playing."

My mother was born in Canada, so you'd think I'd be rooting for Toronto. After Carney pulled the bet crap, claiming President Trump was too scared to take the bet, and when they fooled around with an old Reagan video, had him bad-mouthing tariffs, and got called on it, and President Trump cancelled meetings with Canada, I've been rooting for the Dodgers to kick their butts. I remember when the Dodgers were in New York. That was a long time ago.

Now another issue I have with the Blue Jays, is that they are in a foreign country, separate from the U.S, their headquarter is in Canada, so why are they allowed to belong to an American Baseball League? What revenue do they bring into this country from their home games? Their stadium is in Canada. It was built by EllisDon Construction, headquartered in Canada, and Dominion Bridge Bridge Company, headquartered in Quebec, but now defunct. WTF?? How much money did they pay to become a part of American baseball, or whose ass did they kiss? This had never come to mind before the recent crap with Canada. I don't even watch baseball. I'm a 78 year old lady.

I don't want to hear any crap that they are part of the North American continent. That doesn't cut it. They're still a foreign country. You need a passport to visit there, and them to come here. So WTF are they doing competing in the World Series no less. They should be kicked out and forced to join an international baseball league. So, what's next? Because Mexico touches our border and is part of North America, and Central America is in North America, are we going to let them become a part of American baseball leagues? Again...WFT???

Okay, I'm done now.
