Investigate every team in the MLB and then we can talk about suspending the Astros. Oh wait the MLB won't do that because they know exactly what they will find.
This mindset is one of the biggest problems with this. Both the team & fans think that what the Astros did isn't that far off from "what everbody else does". That bullshite excuse is just fabricated so they feel better about what they did.

Do you think players around the league would be this outraged if they had a chance of getting caught in their own antics? There might be cheating in other facets of the game, but it is very unlikely that they are as significant & life-altering as what the Astros did.

Just because others do what they aren't supposed to, doesn't make it okay for you to do the same.

Yes because none of them have a snitch on their team.

That claim is of equal fabrication to my own.

No shite but you and so many other people are looking to lynch the Astros but just assume other teams aren't doing similar or more egregious things just because they're also taking a shite on the Astros and didn't win anything. That's bullshite logic. If they weren't looking for a scapegoat they would investigate the whole league to make sure this isn't occurring on any team but they won't and we both know why that is.

I think when you’re going on the apology tour and throwing yourself on the mercy of media and the fans, it would probably be best to lay it all on the table instead of acting as though something didn’t happen that is clear to everyone did happen.

Damn dude, what an absolute low-life you are.

PS - Those 2 1-run victories were in the ALCS against the Yankees. I forgot to clarify that.

But anyway, kiss my arse. You've shown yourself to be a complete POS who can't handle being challenged on this matter.

who gives a shite what any scum in the media thinks? the Astros are giving the middle finger to them as they should.

this entire story is nothing but propaganda and looking for a scapegoat to create sexy news headlines. they do the same thing going after the Patriots every year. it's all heavily exaggerated nonsense.

media always goes after the big dogs. the champs. they're not gonna go after the bottom feeders.

Not at all. I actually don't mind up to a half season for all confirmed by the investigation to be involved.

Half would be a start. If MLB wanted to really send a message then it should go 100 games.

I wouldn't mind that either. Isn't it 100 games for steroids the 1st time?

Thank you for the well wishes. Just FYI Dusty Baker has never managed a team of champions. It's gonna be awesome to get that man his first managerial ring.

Can't believe they had to apologize.

I applaud them for exploiting something nobody else was doing. It's not like the bugged opposing players dugouts.

If a college basketball team uses a camera and catches on to the plays the opposing coach calls out that's not cheating. Neither should this.

Altuve and Bregman should have refused and demanded to be traded. That owner made things worse. Should have kept his mouth shut.

Why is that a bad answer?

Because if isn’t a real denial.

Me: “did you kill your wife?”

Shel: “the police found nothing to corroborate”

That ain’t you saying no, it’s you being a lawyer. Which is fine legally, but not in the court of public opinion.

Crane totally blew it. What he should have said is something to the effect of “we did wrong. This will not happen again. We welcome MLB into our dugout at anytime and place.”

Really? They went after the eagles? Steelers? Yankees? Sox?

Spurs? Lakers? Dubz?

You live in a fantasy.

Apparently, because MLB isn't going to do it unless the fans practically revolt.
