They simply can't beat the Packers and they don't win when it matters. Same old shit.

Nope.

No. If only haha. In 2010 the Packers had a game at home in week 17 against the Bears that they had to win to make the playoffs. They went on to beat the Bears twice in four weeks to then win the Super Bowl.

This all smells an awful lot like 2010 but the situation is reversed.

This has to be a joke, right?

Oh great, another awesome Hahn move. Should have been Joc. Ugh.

Not a fan. At all. Hahn gonna Hahn.

To be fair, a lot of MLB players were also doing that at the time, not just the players on his teams. The flip side is, Hinch was part of one or two teams that were cheating. Plus he was a straight up cuck when confronted about it. Dude got off light and shouldn't even have been in a position to manage this year. MLBs punishment was a joke.

God no. Dude's done.

What if they had the Hinch auto lined up for a bench coach announcement? Maybe the person who made it messed up and attached the wrong autograph?

I still don't think it was just due to the bat flip. The series before that one Contreras was jawing and acting like a 7 year old. He was also probably one of the ones continually screaming like little league players from the dugout. It was obnoxious hearing it on TV, so I'm sure the Sox were sick of that shit too. The bat flip was just the straw that broke the camels back. It was probably more from what was said the series before and the Cubs bench acting like fucking children and they just had enough of it. I could be wrong, but a simple bat flip doesn't seem like the thing that Ricky would have someone plunked for, all things considered.

That was also at a time when most of the league was starting to juice. Also the league turned a blind eye to it because they needed the fans to come back to the game. I'm no fan of the steroid era, but it's hard to compare the two wrongs on equal footing. Not saying it was right, but there is a slight difference between what happened back then with a huge chunk of the league and one team cheating to win.

Here's the thing. I don't think him or Cora should be anywhere near a team next season. Their punishments were far too light. If they had more than a year off, I think myself and others would probably be more open to it. But given the fact they got a tiny slap on the wrist and then get to go right back at it the next year is a joke. Second chances are fine. But the timing needs to be right and I'm not sure how anyone other than an Astros or Red Sox fan can say the punishment they got was fitting. (and you know they would say it was too harsh, while the rest of the baseball world thinks it was a joke)

Given what went down, there is no way he was, or currently still is, in the top consideration of best manager in the league. He just isn't. You know that view of him was propped up due to what his team was doing, which was cheating. But fuck all, if it means winning a World Series, I mean, right? Do you view the pitchers on the staff and the hitters that were cheating the exact same way? We don't know what was said and done by those guys in the clubhouse. But Keuchel wasn't the fucking ring leader of the cheating. But hey, keep going. Calling a cheater, a cheater is vitriol? Ok man. Go ahead and reply again, get it out of your system, but I'll be done replying to you. So make sure you pull some good shit out. Add a bunch of *** when you spell things right too.

I wouldn't want him, because you know his numbers were propped up because of the cheating. I also think they Astros got off way to easy on the whole thing. Plus, the Sox need pitching more than anything.
