This has been an incredible game.

Wrong decision by the M's manager. That guy pitched 2 innings yesterday.

This one is gonna hurt for Mariner fans.  You can't let that guy beat you.  I'm guessing the fan base is venting a bit at the decision making.

And no Canadian team will after we bomb Canada back to the Stone Age for winning this game.

When they become our 51st state it won't be an issue.

What are the odds Vance accidentally impales himself with the World Series trophy when they visit the White House? And how much will Shohei have made on that bet?

I was sick to my stomach about the way the Mariners lost that game.

Woo walks the lead off hitter, which you just can't do. And then, instead of using the best reliever in baseball, Wilson gives the ball to a guy who has been overworked and who pitched 2 innings just yesterday. Terrible. But at least Munoz will be well-rested for next season's opener.

I actually felt bad for Bazardo, who had a really nice season and who had been good in the postseason, too. Wilson put him in position to fail, which obviously is the exact opposite of what a manager's job is.

Of course, Mariners hitters could have made it easier on their manager and their pitchers by coming through a couple of times with runners in scoring position. But all season they've been a HR-or-bust team, so I guess it's fitting that it ended that way.

Oh well. It was a fun season. I just hate that it ended like that.

We all hate when the season ends.  Hats off to Seattle for a heckuva season.

It is still a loss.  Like saying you would rather have Kansas or UNC boatrace MU in the tournament than lose a buzzerbeater.  To me, they feel the same.

To me, the Tigers losing to Seattle had the same feeling of inevitability as MU losing to New Mexico.  I knew both teams had it in them to win, but neither were playing their best. 

So, I understand your perspective.  I do not share it.

100%. I won't be ruminating over a single play, even the Turang pitch avoidance. We got beat by a much better team.

Will never get over that there is actually an L flag and that there's a correct color.

The incorrect color and using it as a prop is the new billy goat and black cat.  Brewers will have to sacrifice an entire legion of chickens to ward off the karma.

I'd rather lose 100 games three seasons in a row than be defeated in a Game 7.

Well, it only makes sense that Toronto will win.

U.S.-based teams have taken the Stanley Cup, the championship of Canada's national sport, for several years.

So why shouldn't Toronto win the World Series?

I think I agree. I certainly would have rather lost last night's game 10-1.

That was a real gut-punch. I didn't sleep well last night, and I've only been a Mariners fan for a year. I feel for those who have been following the team for decades. It's tough being a fan!
