    The media is a bunch of hypocrites. They have double standards for different teams, players and coaches. If it was Boston, LA or NY nothing would have happened. To fire not only a coach and GM but also lose picks is a severe penalty for something that is done by every team. I say ban ESPN. Don’t read that garbage and give them ratings. I’m sticking to clutch fans only.

    I don’t have multiple personalities. What I do have is an anger for a team that I held very close to my heart thinking they played by the rules. I know cheating is acceptable in most circles, but not in mine to the extent that the Astros showed

    They did not have to cheat to win the World Series in my humble opinion @Deckard

    I can promise you you will not find a bigger clutch fan on this site more than myself. That being said I still feel cheated and disgraced by the acts of the Houston Astros. You can take your opinion and shove it

    Yeah. There’s a brand new stadium that opening in south Oklahoma looking for new fans. Heard they like to grab each other’s cocks too.

    I’d rather give up on baseball altogether then to root for any team that represents southern Oklahoma

    Hypothetically, if your brother has been using your phone to watch naughty stuff. Are you going to leave your brother?!?!?!? They cheated, time to move on. Blame technology, the Apple watch, IPads and Wifi. The day the Astros leave HTown is the day I no longer call them my team, but I think I leave first :)

    Astros were legit in 18/19 playoffs. MLB report cleared them. Beat Yankees in 19 fair and square.
    They got caught in 17 and and seen the light. We are now in the 2020 season and still will be one of the best teams in baseball.

    Will MLB look into the other teams from 14-18? Sources say 8 other teams.
    Will MLB look into White Sox of 80s?
    Will MLB look into Mets of the 80s?

    if it turns out in the coming months and years that this has always gone on in MLB and they have always known it... then that 2017 trophy is legit as any trophy since the 50’s

    ~~~NEWS FLASH~~~

    Every team was doing this to some level. The Astros were doing it the most stupid with trashcan banging to convey signs. No one even knows if this gave them an advantage and pitchers and catchers are already trained from decades of sign stealing to be weary of sign stealing. Quit acting like this is unprecedented and the most horrendous thing to ever happen in baseball. Jack McDowell called out LaRussa for doing nearly this exact same scheme except MUCH less obvious 30 years ago.

    I hate all these sanctimonious people coming out of the woodwork to bash the Astros.
