“”Yeeting eh?””

I thought about pointing that out but decided one complaint was enough from me...

Kind of like keeping up with the announcers last night when they were talking about Scherser and showing him sitting there. I admit I did leave the game occasionally but that was confusing so must be I got in on the tail end...once Smoltz gets started, he can’t stop talking - love the man but he tires me out....

After 5 games it is Canada 3, Japan 2.

I think Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., is the only Blue Jay who was born in Canada. Guerrero is such a typical French Canadian surname.

The Dodgers have more Canadians than the Blue Jays.

Yesavage made only 3 regular season starts for the Jays. Fourteen innings, and made less than $60,000. Playoff bonuses will like add up to $500k or quite a bit more.

His signing bonus last year was over $4 million.

His dad played for the Expos.

Since they showed up they have been the kiss of death for LA.

You can't hold that against him--he needed a job.

Smolz can be a motor mouth.

The Dodgers are playing like Kamala Harris ran her campaign, like its OWED to her..the Blue Jays are good but not THAT good, but since the Dodgers swept the Brewers they think oh easy peasy but that is not the case..this series is over in 6

Toronto won 94 games in the regular season, the Dodgers won 93.

Against a lineup featuring three future Hall of Famers

Is Mookie Betts really a HOFer? I hear this all the time. But I'm not sure. And if so, why not Don Mattingly and several others?

I've enjoyed this series more than any since '86. The Dodgers' 18-inning win plus Yesavage's gem make this special.

Same. And I was AT 2 of the 1986 games. This one is great. I wasn't rooting for either team, which makes it even more enjoyable.

Yeah. Passan is 45. As my 21 y.o. daughter would say, "Cringe."

I dont have cable so I watched on StreamEast feed, and it had the Jays broadcast team. Better than Fox, imho.

Betts will benefit from the stats craze. His Wins Above Replacement seem to qualify him for HOF, but I doubt his old-fashioned stats would have.
