1. Happiness. You're an Astros fan. You're ecstatic. You've gone on StubHub looking to see if any of those 11,000 World Series tickets are available. You have a big smile on your face, you're texting upbeat messages to your friends, you finally dug out that "2017 World Series Champions" T-shirt to wear with pride and you will clear your schedule to watch the upcoming games.


Except the StubHub part, and my 2017 Championship shirt didn't have to be dug out, it was still hanging up.

Manfred doesn't want to set a player suspension precedent for cheating when the Sox and Yankees are the next 2 suspects.


That and he knew he had to offer all the players immunity from punishment or they would never talk.

He largely didn't want to deal with the MLBPA

I think we can all safely say the same article would be written for the Yankees, Dodgers, and Red Sox had they done the same things....

The astros were the victims of a targeted media strike from coastal elites

I know you're being facetious but most writers are from the big coastal hubs and we know how the media slants to their big market teams...a tale as old as time.

This isn't surprising. It's much easier to hear the trash can banging with no fans.

I'm being 100% serious. The astros were victims of jealous coastal elites who also hate the fact that Texas is a trump state

1. It's irrational to be angry over a team advancing in a sporting event.


10. The Astros beat my team in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020 and now Carlos Correa drug his nuts all over us. I'm literally shaking.

I am not saying it’s a trump thing but it’s very rare that Boston, LA and New York all get to play victim and hate the same franchise.

I would be salty if I was a dodgers fan. Yankees/Sox fans should treat it like the rest of the sec treats ole miss recruiting violation. Laugh and make fun of but drop the self righteous bull shite cause they are a rat away from the same thing.

This key point escapes the feeble minds of fans who are mad at Manfred.

I really don’t think that’s what it was. He didn’t want to fight the union.

Ppl bring up immunity all the time but what did they supposedly say? The final results of the investigation are pretty much the same as the Drellich article. Not really new info.

They really did get everything they needed from Fiers.

Plus the players' union would have never allowed suspensions.
