Best. WS. Ever. That was unbelievable D on the bottom of the 9. Seems like the vibe is shifting here...

Top of the 9th. What a game 7 and what a World Series this has been. FWIW the Jays have been the better team, in my opinion. Having said that, let's score a couple of runs here, Dodgers! #Dodgers #WorldSeries

How are the Dodgers even at a game 7 batting .190 for the series? Other than Yamamoto it's not like the pitching has been stellar.

Brutal wild pitch! That's not helping. Could have left Snell in for that.

Wow! The Jays came out firing. Can we afford to spot them two? #WorldSeries #Dodgers

Yikes. Embarrassing D at RF. Vlad has been lights out, but you can't let him get away with that.

Wow. Both Mookie and Vlad with incredible defensive plays. What a game!

Tied game! Let's go Dodgers! Ohtani has been outstanding, but now it's up to the bullpen. Not comfortable with that.

Yamamoto-san! Masterful outing. We got ourselves a series. Let's go Dodgers! #WorldSeries #Dodgers

Here we go. Yamamoto for the second complete game in the postseason.

Finally some daylight between the two. Yamamoto gets some support from Dodger bats (and Jays' D).

Yamamoto is pitching a gem. Desperately trying to avoid the pen. #WorldSeries #Dodgers

Got railroaded today. Snell stayed one inning too long (isn't hindsight great) but it's moot since the pen had nothing as usual. Dust off, credit the Jays and go again tomorrow. Let's go Dodgers! #WorldSeries #Dodgers

My thread is full of Jays fans. I'm a sucker for an underdog story and love the land up North. But not tonight. Let's go Dodgers! #WorldSeries #Dodgers

Hard to overstate how big of a cultural influence David Lynch was for people like me, coming of age in the late 80s and early 90s. RIP.

Important quantification, but will they have money to actually audit people. Has Trump said anything about his earlier threats to claw back the IRS funding provided for by the IRA?
"We find an additional $1 spent auditing taxpayers above the 90th income percentile yields more than $12 in revenue, while audits of below-median income taxpayers yield $5."
