Holy ****. What an ending. What a great draft pick by AA Harris was.

What a team AA has built.

Are there any bigger chokers in professional sports than the Dodgers? $500 million pay roll every year. 100+ wins every year. Just 1 title in the last 35 years to show for it (during a 60-game season, lol).

Houston might win it all again. What an organization that is. Shame the Blue Jays are nowhere near their talent and depth.

Sonny Gray looked like regular season Kershaw against us. Against a real team he looks like post season Kershaw

We could always fire Shatkins and promote their former GM who is currently employed by us.

I know he didn't build that team, but anyone who came up in the Rays and Astros organizations has to have learned something about winning.

That presser was an outright disaster and all the negativity has me slightly optimistic that Atkins might be shown the door.

And the useless and cheap Os were swept. Good to see.

Feels nice that Tampa and Baltimore also ended their playoffs winless.

Hopefully Angelos continues to cry poverty and doesn't pay any of their young guys.
9. Similarly, IF THOU HAST SPENT the entire offseason predicting that thy team will stink, thou shalt not gloat, nor even be happy, shouldst thou turn out to be correct. Realistic analysis is fine, but be a fan first, a smug smarty-pants second.

Rare does a prospect with that much hype live up to it but man Harper's career has been awesome. I hope he can put the stamp on it with a ring this year.

Oh hey! Look at that! Teams that mash HR's left and right and hit with RISP are dominating the playoffs! Go figure! How many games were won with defense?? Lmao! But yes, let's keep defending that Varsho trade till we're blue in the face because he's the best defensive outfielder in all of baseball! Imagine actually and willingly choosing that hill to die on.
