The ridiculous thing is the Astros didn't need to cheat; they were front loaded with wicked good players.

I was in the shun mode, and was planning to avid watching them entirely. That is, until they hired 'Mr. Ethics', Dusty Baker to come out of retirement to coach. If anyone can rehabilitate the reputation of a ball club, it would be Dusty Baker.

I think Baker came out of retirement, partly because the Astros has a whole bunch of talent, and he has a reasonable chance of grabbing the brass ring; something he would really wants before he kicks back on the front porch to watch his son play ball on the television.

including using technology to cheat....that's shameful. Other sports would've come a lot harder than MLB did.

Sorry, I'm old school. There's no "that was then this is now"....not with the owners' BS comments either. Shit owner, shit organization, disgraceful cheating players. Fuck the Astros and I hope Dusty (1 year contrast) Baker destroys his pitchers arms the same way he has done in the past.

Did I mention fuck the Astros? They're lucky there's no fans in the stands because the booing would've been glorious. Fuck the Astros.
