    Now that it's over...I feel sorry for Chapman. I think NY needs to cut their losses with him. Maybe he can come to the Astros?

    Rays are a far less experienced team. I think we'll do just fine against them now that the bats and confidence are back.

    Yankees should of cheated, they ain't going anywhere. A's owned the division, we owned the A's. Rays owned the division, they owned the Yankees.

    I can’t lie, I was ok with seeing Cole not advancing. Seeing Chapman blow it AGAIN, classic!

    Brousseau when asked about the next matchup:
    "Astros have been the team to beat for a few years now. And they knocked us out last year, gonna be a fun one" (something along those lines, not 100%). Glad to hear he didn't jump to talk about, you know.

    Happy for the Rays. Bring it!

    They are celebrating like we were a couple of years ago after a series win with group photos and everything. As they should. But its funny how we win and are headed to the ALCS for the 4th time and they just high five and go to the dugout.

    So um which park will the ALCS be played in? Obviously would prefer if it stayed in LA with how the bats have performed

    At least I like and respect their team, unlike that other team they just beat. Can't hate Charlie Morton. Thanks for Click! I believe about 1/3 of MLB GM's have come from that "tree," including both in the ALCS this year.

    It'll be at Petco. We've done better at Dodger Stadium than Petco Park recently for sure, but ideally you play well enough so that these things don't matter.

    I'm so ****ing glad we don't gotta hear **** from the Stankees next round. I'm totally fine losing to the Rays as long as they win it all. Of course, I'm cheering for our guys though.

    But how much will "experience" play into the equation though? We didn't have that much experience when we won in 2017. Did the Nationals have that much experience when they won it all last year?

    Well the Yankees will once again not win a championship. So that’s nice.
