If there's a bright spot for the GOP tonight, I ain't seeing it.

EIGHTEEN YEARS FROM NOW, A FRESHMAN DORM:

"Hey, roomie. I'm Zohran. I'm from New York."

"Cool. I'm from LA. I'm Yoshinobu..."
the vibe in NYC suggests a Zohran-related baby boom in nine months.

Hadn't realized until now that Roki Sasaki's 3 IP in the close-out against the Phillies might've messed him up for the rest of the postseason.

Sasaki's first four games: 5.1 1 0 0 0 5

Sasaki's final five games: 5.1 5 1 1 5 1

Watching the Dodgers WS parade on TV now after attending last year's. Apparently, this was the one to go to, as the motorcade is taking its time going through DTLA. Last year, it was a speed run from City Hall to the stadium.

Seeing Rick Monday in the hoodie reminds me that twice last night he noted how cold it was in Toronto. Yesterday's low there was 41 degrees – a chill that would have Southern Californians (e.g., myself) grumping.
Folks. We got him again. Mo broke character 😂 (his thumbs up is adorable)

Doc Roberts is well known for trusting his proven guys far longer than anyone else would – and that tendency may be what the World Series hinges on.

No idea how tonight's game ends, let alone the series, but I can say I'm content with LA's performance tonight. Fight, heart. That's all I wanted to see.

Sandy Koufax talking to Doc Roberts, then walking down to the LA bullpen.
Unless you are a hardcore Blue Jays fan I think you have to be rooting for a game 7 out of this series just to see the absolute pandemonium that will come from the pitching situations in tomorrow’s hypothetical game.

Drunk, high, and somehow about to be handed the job of sports editor at Arizona State's school paper – after thinking all summer I'd be just the *assistant*sports ed.

Freddie's second career WS walk-off homer, that'll work, too.
I like the symmetry of Muncy getting a second 18th-inning walk-off bomb.
