Totally agree with you, had that been a Toronto pitcher would it got the blatant favoritism as Ohtani? So many times the umpires seemed blind calling strikes or balls. Would Toronto got a break when the ball lodged? We keep hearing about crimes players are doing in basketball, is this what sports been reduced to? But the Jays never die attitude was amazing, they played their heart out and Canadians across Canada cheered for them. It almost felt like this might be a time we show the US we’re every bit as good as them, but the winds didn’t blow that way. With Canada being the U.S. punching bag lately the victory would have been a delicious time

After the Blue Jays narrowly beat their equals the Mariners, the head coach said something like, “The best teams are in the World Series now.” This unnecessary and untrue slight is why I’ve been rooting for the Dodgers

Winning the world series would have been especially sweet for Canada the underdog beating the mighty rich American Dodgers payroll. Objectively both teams were equal. The Jays had strengths the Dodgers lacked and the Dodgers had strengths the Jay's lacked. So that means luck could have gone either way if they had played best out of 10 games. The Jay's won the best out of the first five games they played.
