Do people not affiliated in any way with an organization really give a piss about this?

He had an ERA over 6 in his last 69 innings pitched. Even the sorry-arse Rangers could have beaten his arse.

Why don’t you quit being a trolling piece of shite for a change?

Has this been discussed here? Seems that if this suit isn’t dismissed, it would allow for discovery, meaning that any and all documents, statements, etc. would lose any shroud of confidentiality, including those provided under immunity. I have no idea if this is true, but I read it somewhere in an article comment on the internet. Obviously this could be a big issue unless they settle or whatever.

The 5:14 mark is exactly like listening to the Charlie Palillo show on Houston sports radio

This is obviously ridiculous. But, this kind of stuff is just going to continue. Before this is over, pretty much nobody outside of Houston is going to consider that a real championship.

The Astros are just going to continue to get hammered over, and over, and over again.


At the end of the day, sign stealing has ALWAYS been a part of baseball. Astros getting hate for perfecting it. Comes with the territory.

I think a lot of baseball was jealous as frick of the Astros success, and the reaction to all of this makes it obvious.


:lol:
Nope, their smug and braggadocios scouting department kept running their mouths and karma got them. Fired a bunch of older scouts without ever thinking about what they would do and who they would tell. had MLB done something about the rumors and allegations when it was first discovered, it would not have gotten to this level. MLB is largely responsible for the how deep this thing got

Maybe we can try to play it off with a little subtlety by making player bobble heads in the style of some of these

Not a single Astros fan cares what other people think. None. Zilch. Zero. The banner still sits in Minute Maid, the rings still exist as well.
