A couple of things here
Just to be clear, the level of disgust at the Astros is multifold:

1) Your players cheated and got off scott-free
Have you ever heard of qualified immunity? The players weren't punished in exchange for their testimony
2) Your players have shown no lack of humility or remorse since being caught if anything it seems like they've become even bigger arseholes Did you watch any press conferences? They were plenty humble until the media went full tard and kept piling on. Players are going to say enough is enough at some point. Why don't you call out your ***** boy Fiers for hiding behind Melvin's legs?
3) Your players, managers, and everyone in your club has shown zero lack of leadership througout Kinda hard to when they've all been canned...
4) Your organization is rotten to the core as MLB pointed, and as your initial defense of your assistant GM who abused a female reporter clearly shows He was canned post haste too
5) Your fans acted disgracefully in cheering Guriel when he returned after his racist gesture I'm not expecting you to boo him on his return, but to wildly cheer him on his return wtf message is that? Mountains out of molehills. You think worse **** than that isn't said every damn day in the dugouts?
6) Your fans have engaged in a pity fest of remarkable proportions about the criticism and slap on the hand your team faced. I think we were more pissed that MLB turned a blind eye to all of the blue bloods cheating and made the Astros their scapegoats. *Insert Judge iPad and Apple Watch gifs here*
7) And don't get me started on Osuana and why he should never ever play again. The charges were dropped. I'm sorry you don't believe in the justice system.

And while we're at it, your city is possibly one of the shiitiest I've ever visited in the US, and an abject lesson in what happens when you don't have good zoning and planning. Someone in OAKLAND is talking **** about Houston?? LOLOLOL!

You're also potentially on the verge of achieving one of the most remarkable things in baseball, and that is uniting over 90% of the fans to root for the Yankees if they face you, so hey congrats on that. Doubtful...

And if you think this level of contempt is true for us and other teams, go look at the cross posting between us and the White Sox board, and the level of respect.

Enjoy this day, my friend, because today I'll go to bed sad, but tomorrow I'll wake up and still have a team and organization that top to bottom I can be proud of, and that's something you guys can only dream of.
Yeah, a team full of losers hitting the links...
Go A's!

I think the Yankees are a better match up for us, but I would hate to lose the ALCS to them.

At least Cole, Glasnow and potentially snell will be out against us until game 3

This is where I am at. With our lack of pitching depth, I have a hard time imagining how we can survive 7 in 7 against anybody. I'd rather the yankees lose so they are out and over with. Their fans have been so obnoxious and them losing and us advancing is enough to shut them up. Them beating us would ignite a media frenzy I don't want to even imagine lol.
