BURLINGTON, ON

The stunning World Series 7th game loss a few minutes into Sunday was so instant.

Blue Jan fans were waiting breathlessly for the Jay to make the play that would make them 2025 World Series Winners.

No one was prepared.

Everyone found themselves walking away empty-handed when they had expected to be cheering wildly.

What made it worse was that there was no office to go into on Sunday.  No one to talk to – no one to commiserate with.

Morning radio on Sunday isn’t what it is on a Monday.

From a pure sports perspective, it was great baseball.  Some of the plays were so well executed – the beautiful double play that had the ball going to second to grab the base runner, then right back to first base to put that runner out.   This is what winners do.  And at that moment, the Jays were winners.

Rebuild – what’s to be rebuild?  Some might retire – their best days are behind them?

Minutes after the loss.

Lick our wounds and hope for a better result next year.

But it was great baseball.

Several friends reminded me of my prediction before the last game started.  One referred to them as my prognostications.
