Gerrit Cole didn't try to hide his feelings after the New York Yankees' defensive implosion in the fifth inning of Game 5 of the World Series helped spur the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-6 win and their eighth title in franchise history.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Cole put this loss at the top of his personal list of defeats.

"This is like as bad as it gets," Cole said.

The Yankees looked like they were going to cruise to victory and force a Game 6 back in Los Angeles.
