Toronto is learning what it's like to be a modern Yankee fan.

"The sharp pain may age to a dull ache, but it will never go away. You will go hours, then days, then weeks without thinking about how close you came—and then something will remind you, and it will hurt all over again. Who you were last week is not who you will be for the rest of your life. You are ruined; you are a ruined human being."

Jets fans have been used to this kind of celestial abuse for decades. Cubs fans learned to live with and eventually love the losing. Even Sox fans were jolly with their fate - until the curse was reversed, of course, and now they live in fear. And of course, Mets fans know pain. We are all in the same slop bucket and thinking it's the Queen Mary.
Now that we've experience much of it, though, Bitty, I think the sharp, awful pain of narrow defeat still beats decades of pure Jetsian awfulness.
Hammer, just to beat a dead horse (which, thank goodness, is not ours!), someone was telling me that the batter on the IKF play—I think it was Varsho—has almost NEVER hit a line drive to the third baseman, as they feared.
Wonder if that earlier Blue Jay doing just that (can't remember who it was) made Toronto overly cautious.
I think you're right, and that both IKF and their coach should have had him dancing farther down the line. Also, Fat Dracula should probably have taken the walk to lead off that inning.
Well, something to torture themselves with for the winter. We can torture ourselves thinking about what Cashie's next "dumpster dive" will bring.
Oh, and on the slide: yeah, probably the ONLY role of a slide should be to avoid a tag. That wasn't a tag play, of course.
Hoss, I was stunned that IKF was out. When I saw the bobble & the stumble, I thought he was for sure going to be safe. When I saw IKF sliding, that really irked me deep inside. There is no tag play and he is sliding. WHY? WHY? WHY? He cost his team a World Series title. Not that I give much of a rat's ass because the Yankees weren't in it, but we'll still have to hear about this shit forever from the Artful Dodgers & MLB. Damn it.
