And yet, in 2017, the Dodgers, Yankees, and Red Sox all cheated in the same manner as the Astros, and MLB knew it. They singled out the Astros for blame and made them the scapegoat, while keeping all the records of their investigations of the Dodgers and Yankees confidential. In spite of this, the Astros, while under the eye of MLB and under the concentrated bile and hatred of sportswriters and sportstalkers* everywhere, somehow managed to go to the ALCS and WS the last three seasons without the possibility of "cheating."
It's actually fun to see so many people with their panties in a wad! Do you realize how ridiculous you look? I don't even live in the Houston area any more, and haven't watched an Astros game this season, but I actually wanted them to win for the sole reason of watching the deranged reactions of the Usual Suspects. Hell, even when they lose Game 7 of a near-miracle comeback series, the reaction is so over the top that it is laughable. You did not disappoint...
*The "sports" commentariat is a particularly loathsome bunch of swine. It astounds me to accidentally tune to a "Sportstalk" show and hear the loony crap that is spewed. The usual Stupid Radio Schtick has been dialed up a few notches, while the smarts has been turned all the way off. Such are the wages of Cowturd, Skip Brainless, and I cannot even remember the jerk who was Mr. Sportstalk for years. Sometimes amnesia is a good thing...
This is fun.
The disingenuousness of people is hilarious. My guess most of theses people wouldn’t say anything good about Houston if Altuve cured cancer.
