Everyone laughed at me when I talked about it during our series and just wanted to blame the Sox for being bad. None of our starters except Giolito who were stellar all year could go 3 innings without getting destroyed and the Astros had the best plate discipline I think I have ever seen from an MLB team. They had our starters by the balls by the 3rd inning. They're still cheating and fuck them and fuck the MLB until this is fixed. Why would you stop cheating when only your bosses got in trouble and there was no demonstrable player punishment? Lol

My goodness that man showed up who the real clown is. One day this country will finally outgrow the NFL and his achievements will mean nothing and he will not be remembered.

I still cant believe that I'm the only person only moderately suspicious that the Astros are cheating still. All the credit everyone is giving them here, the fact that none of our really good SPs could make it deep into a game before the Astros figured them out, maybe they do deserve the credit. .. But at 5 LCS in a row and one of the most dominant performances I have ever seen vs the White Sox... I really cant trust that they are legit now considering the players received zero repercussion. Their history simply dictates that I cannot trust that any of this is legitimate.

I dont disagree that they are well run, but also their ability to just blow away offers for the best trade candidates because of it is annoying. Mookie Betts, Max Scherzer, Trea Turner... no other team had a chance. All 3 of those players could have significantly helped the Sox (RF, 2B, Ace SP). Even if they wanted to trade for them, they would have never had a chance tho because Dodgers.

Go Braves. Not going to be a real good look for the MLB when the World Series contenders are one of the caught cheating AL teams and the Dodgers who simply flex their economic might to win. What's the point of fucking competition at this point? If the Sox weren't up and coming, I'd probably drop my interest in this buttcheeks league.

I have a very hard time seeing someone as strong minded as Tim Anderson lie about something because he thinks his bosses will be mad if he doesnt say what they want to hear. Typing it out now, it makes even less sense to think about! The Tim Anderson... suddenly a Yes man.

Well I'm not a huge TLR fan at all but if TA7 and Pito want him back, so be it. I trust their judgment.

Maybe, they sure looked like they knew what was coming instead of guessing most of the time. Correa said he would have fallen on his face if it was offspeed but I recall very few Astros looking bad on offspeed... most of the time they just had this uncanny ability to spit on anything close. I think part of the reason we walked so many of them is because worked counts so annoyingly well... again I have not seen a team work counts that well in a long long time. Maybe they just elevated themselves for the playoffs, maybe they fucking cheat. Cant rule either out because of their history.

Really except for game 3, Houston played a perfect series offensively. Your post, your awe of what they were able to do and the mad props you are giving them for being so great is a testament to this. I also havent seen a team perform that well offensively in quite some time! So much so that to me it is all frankly suspicious. Some competitive video games that get littered cheaters make you suspicious of everyone, even if they simply are a really good player. The same thing is happening to me with the Astros. It's almost like the Sox had fresh codes at the beginning of every game, then the Astros figured out the codes and wrecked our starters into oblivion by inning 3. The only time it didnt seem like they had something on us was that 5 inning bullpen stretch... and perhaps Tepera alluded to what he believes may still be happening. The Astros want to point to their road OPS as a reason why they dont cheat, how on Gods earth do they expect me to believe that they havent found a way to cheat on the road too? Fuck the Astros. 5 LCS in a row isnt just because they are good. I think that organization is full of shit and all of them should be banned from baseball. And I have literally no reason to believe theyve stopped cheating because the players received basically zero repercussions.

Yeah, what a reunion!

Did I see Gurriel bitching at Altuve in the dugout?

No, fuck you!

I know we all have our differences sometimes but I love all you fine people because we all bleed black and white. We may argue over the details, but we are brethren. Let's all be miserable together now!

OMG I hope Hallion is mic'd up.

His nose is just so far away from his mouth.
