It isn’t all that matters to the Astros and their fans, as indicated by their behavior throughout the entirety of this ongoing story.

This is the way it is supposed to be when you cheat. This is like The Telltale Heart but sports.

That's getting closer, but I don't see an actual rule in the rulebook in your post.

i'm glad the guys apologized. it was rough having to hear the other teams fans crying about it. maybe now their lives will be more complete and we can go win our 2nd ring in peace

plus its better for the game not having pitchers throwing at our players even if it does help out our on base percentage. it wouldve been terrible for the sport if another Mike Jorgensen incident happened

2nd ring
That would shut a lot of people up, myself included.

If this group never wins a legit ring, we know why.
If this group wins a legit ring, it somewhat legitimizes the current not-real one.

Probably even worse
Probably not even from NY. Well because that’s how Yankees fans usually are

Motherfricker that cuts both ways, then. You wouldn’t be saying they didn’t win it if you weren’t trying to convince someone of it. It’s like you can’t even see why you keep getting hammered in this thread.

According to this clown, the White Sox is the worst baseball club in the history of the game because they cheated the World Series in 1918.

That ordeal is still relevant today

Yankee fans melting and bitching up a storm. Guess Astros aren't 2017 World Series champs then.

If this type of cheating wasn’t rappant, how would an organization like the Astros keep everyone silent ? If you trade John Smith to the Yankees, he is going to blackmail Jim Crane for extra cash. How do you trust former players and FA from ratting you out to MLB ?

Either Jim Crane and Hinch were absolute idiots to think this secret info wasn’t going to be leaked or this type of shite is going on league wide behind MLB doors.

Really?

The Cards have 11, they still want more. After the year has passed, doesn't really mean a whole lot.

Yanks have 27? Still continuing.

Astro's will forever have a stain on their organization, and while they have one banner; nothing to really brag about, they will forever be cheaters.

...along with 24 other teams, that will "forever be champions" In fact only 6 teams haven't ever won it, so they are now one of the 80%....? Real top tier company that they were willing to be the laughing stock of baseball in perpetuity over.

MLB has never taken a trophy away from a team as far as I know, why would they with the Astros? They cheated and got away with it and then punished, now it is a new season that they won't win.

It’s 100% true

Why do you think the media goes after top teams all the time in every sport? They never go after middle of the pack or shitty teams. Why? Because that doesn’t generate sexy headlines and clicks.

They go after the Patriots every year. They went after the Saints. They went after the Red Sox. They went after the Astros, etc.... they’re not going to create headlines by going after the Florida Panthers.
