re: St. Louis Cardinals Investigated by F.B.I. for Hacking Astros

My mom just gave me a bunch of shite to go through that was in the attic and in there was the framed baseball cards set thing from the 1987 Cardinals team you had given me.

That thing is a treasure and you should feel honored.

but the benefit is so minimal have to believe it was low level

It would tell the Cardinals what the Astros were focusing on in the draft, allowing them to pick players they wanted the round before, for example, while also (potentially) giving them a leg up in trade talks as they would know how Houston truly valued players.

It would tell the Cardinals who the Astros were talking to about potential trades, giving them insight into other teams' private plans and actions as well.

So you might want to quit being a Hack (different use of the term than you Cards people are used to).

that could get ugly.

Wonder how high up the fall guy has to be?

is it technically hacking?

if I leave my door unlocked and go on vacation and you walk in my house and take all of my stuff, is that technically stealing?

I'm not blaming him. I just think that may compromise the investigation.

I honestly don't think it will be any more compromised than any investigation would be, given that the search committee was basically a formality.

There is always going to be a level of compromise when the guy doing the investigating works for the people he's investigating.

I bet, in retrospect, they wish they had hacked into the Braves 'Jason Heyward' database.

They've got to get their spin story straight on the Cardinal message boards before they branch out to the other sectors of the internet to do damage control.

Such a classy organization.
