Sometimes the other guy's pitcher is really good.

Disappointing that the #BlueJays couldn’t get the runs off Yamamoto needed to win this game. Gausman was pitching incredibly well but the Jays couldn’t solve the Dodgers pitching. Behind 5-1 now in B8th. 🙁 Hard to watch.

Kevin Gausman is about to become the first #Bluejays starter to throw a pitch in the seventh inning in this post-season.

It's a 1-1 tie.

We don’t want a pitcher’s duel. 😒 We want a #BlueJays slug fest!

Let’s go Blue Jays, let’s go! #WantItAll #WorldSeries

No, I haven’t seen it yet. Good idea though. Thanks, I will.

Holy crap did Vladdy hit the snot out of that ball. 113.9mph laser hit too hard to get out of here. If the wall hadn't gotten in the way, it would have landed on King St.

Kirk follows with a sac fly and we're tied 1-1 to top4. #Bluejays #Dodgers #WorldSeries

So am I. I’m thrilled for #BlueJays fans, and fans across Canada and around the world. Winning a World Series, in this political climate, would be fabulous for Canadians. 😊

Sadly, no. We went in 2015 & 2016 and had a great time. While postseason tix this year were expensive we could have bought some. But they sold out to scalpers & then 3 tix for 1 game were priced @ $4,000+. No way we’d spend that. Very disappointed but outrageous prices. #WorldSeries

Thanks, Mary. What a terrific game. Amazing night to see the #BlueJays get a huge Game 1 11 to 4 win against the #Dodgers. Thrilling!

The Dome is going to collapse.

After Addison Barger hit the first pinch-hit home run in World Series history, Alejandro Kirk just went yard. They’ve scored 9 in the 6th.

It’s 11-2 #BlueJays

If we only made the playoffs - Dayenu!

Hey friends. I just watched the Reagan/tariff ad shown by the Great Canada during the World Series? Don’t know if I cheered more for the grand slam or the ad. You go Canada!!!!

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

#Dodgers allowed a grand total of four runs in the NLCS. The whole series.

#Bluejays more than doubled that in the sixth inning alone tonight.

That Barger blast was the FIRST PINCH-HIT GRAND SLAM IN WORLD SERIES HISTORY.

The strains of "OK, #Bluejays" ring out at Rogers Centre during the World Freaking Series for the first time since 1993.

#Jays lead 11-4.

Chin up, Dodgers. Being down 9 runs Canadian is only like 6 runs US. And after the tariffs, you’re only behind by like 3, 4 runs tops.

This is the first time #Bluejays have had a lead in a World Series game since 1993.

They're doing what they've done all year, just the world of #MLB didn't think they'd be able to keep doing it against #Dodgers.

5-2 #Jays bot6.
