No matter what happens tonight

It has been one hell of a season and I am so PROUD of the team!

Nope. Only thing that matters is winning.

Amazing season.   If we lose it will hurt but after a few days or weeks we will all look back at this season as the one of the three best in franchise history.   So many epic moments.

definitely for the dodgers, with their payroll they were expected to easily win, nobody really thought the jays would be here

This is exactly it.   Pressure is all on the Dodgers.  The Jays were horrible in April and nobody expected anything like this at all.  If you did, you must had a nice crystal ball working for you.

Yeah but that doesn't take into account all the deferred money

Not sure if it does.  However the deferred money is still spent this year.  They have to buy like a bond or something.  So I believe they have to buy a 48 million (or something) bond every year that will mature at 70 million when they owe it.  I think the deferred also counts towards the salary limits.   

I heard somewhere that the Dodgers payroll is 350 million or something including deferred.  However there is also the tax.  So Dodgers are paying actually 500 million out including tax while Jays be not taxed or taxed little.  

So could be accurate to say Dodgers are paying twice as much in payroll costs.

And they'll still cruise well into "making a metric f***ton" of money territory.  Worth every dollar.
