It feel good as a Blue Jays fan, but I do feel bad for long time Mariners fans who have never had the chance to watch their team play in World Series. Especially this Mariners team which looked so good on paper and had lots of talent.

I had that feeling for a long time. I have been a baseball fan for over 45 years and this is my first year being a "FAN" of a team that made the World Series. By 1992, I hated the Toronto Blue Jays with a passion, so the 1992 and 1993 Blue Jays World Series wins actually bring up bad memories for me, and that will never change. I was a fan of the Expos since my earliest baseball memories in 1981 until their death in 2004. I liked the Jays from about 1983-1990 - then I quickly moved into full on hate mode. I became detached from baseball a bit after 2004, and while I started to slowly casually cheer the Jays around 2009, I didn't fully forgive the franchise until that 2015 season, when I got in to the Jays hard again.

So in my life as a baseball fan, I had:
- 1981. Expos lose in deciding game of the NLCS (Blue Monday)
- 1985 - Jays blow a 3-1 lead in the ALCS and lose to the Royals
- 1987 - Jays blow a 4 game lead last week of the season, by losing last 7 games. (may have a number off there)
- BLEEP 1992 and 1993
- 1994 - Best team in baseball - strike.
- Never actually made the playoffs between 1982 to 2004.
- Team moved to Washington. BLEEP WASHINGTON. BLEEP THE GNATS.
- 2015 and 2016 Jays come short in the ALCS

So it was a long wait to make the World Series.

I felt like I was watching a Yankees game. The M's staff clearly had a script of when to bring in Woo but didn't bother to watch the game to notice Kirby was dealing. Pulled him too early which was first domino leading to the pen guy giving up the HR. George could have easily gone through 5 or even 6. Then go Woo to Munoz.

 

[kirbivore]

Worst possible matchup for me. Can't root for division rival Jays but also don't want the Dodgers to supplant the Yankees as most recent team to repeat.

 

[Cowtown]

The Jays batting approach is to hit the ball anywhere, as opposed to NYY trying to go yard regardless. That might be the thing that keeps them in with the Dodgers strong pitching.

 

[Cuseregular]

OMG!

 

[MSOrange]

Wow this game got out of hand fast! What a 6th by the Jays!

 

[Cuseregular]

Wow this game got out of hand fast! What a 6th by the Jays!

This is epic. Has to be some sort of record

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Lots of crooked numbers.

 

[Forza Azzurri]

I know I shouldn’t care but the Marlins guy irritates me.

Late to the party, yeah I was pulling for Seattle also.

Thanks, my friend! Glad to have our pitchers and Cal and Juio locked up for a while. Would like to see Naylor and Polanco come back. We shall see.

I know I shouldn’t care but the Marlins guy irritates me.

I’m with you there. I’ve seen him on TV in a bunch of playoff games so far (and he had a copycat for a couple of games) and while irritating, it’s been easy enough to ignore.

But last night was especially obnoxious. Not only was he directly behind home plate, he draped his bright orange jacket over the wide back, first class-esque chairs Toronto has back there. It was really distracting while watching on TV to see a bright orange box directly behind the hitter/catcher/umpire.

I didn’t see him tonight. I wonder if he was there, but asked to move seats?

 

[Cuseregular]

Has there ever been a hitter ever in the big moments than Ohtani?

I mean what the heck. Wow

Was just going to say something similar. Remarkable.

 

[Cowtown]

Was just going to say something similar. Remarkable.

And where is ICE when you really need them?

 

[pfister1]

And then he steals 2nd………but wait, he employs the glamorous pop up slide, can’t hold the bag……. and he’s OUT!!!

 

[Cowtown]

Good grief, Ohtani had as much equipment on as I wear playing hockey.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Insane game

 

[cuseattle]

Great game.
Going to the 14th

Red Sox would be worse.
