The only thing they need to strip is a certain Astros' player wife.

I think they should definitely strip the Astros. Haven’t seen all of the evidence yet on the Red Sox, but they should likely strip all the tainted titles they won with that juicehead Ortiz on the roster. That said, they shouldn’t grant those titles to anyone because we don’t know what would have happened had the teams not been cheating. Other teams could have come out of the AL and beaten the Dodgers as well.
I agree. Leave the titles vacated pretty much like they did with Lance Armstrong.

It's in its inevitable death throes. The Daily fills 5 pages on a good day. It might disappear in the gap between football and baseball seasons.

Looking at the World Series futures I guess the manager doesn't mean much. The Astros still 2nd behind the Yankees at 6-1.

I also don't get the Phillies at only 1800. They have 2 teams in their division ahead of them and didn't make too many upgrades. The Twins seem like a bargain at 2200

Whatever happens, I think the Dodgers should have two World Series parades anyway.

The damage has been done already, so stripping astros would be useless

Is it that hard to understand? I'm saying since the White Sox threw the World Series the Reds should vacate the title. And the White Sox should be forced to accept it. All White Sox fans should be forced to attend a parade, just like when the U.S. forced the mayor and other townspeople to tour that concentration camp at the end of WWII.

Sometimes I think I'm speaking another language on here.....
You are:lol:

Maybe stripping the Astros of the title would be a deterrent to players who are thinking of cheating in the future, but its deterrent value is small. Players probably care more about fines and suspensions than being stripped of a World Series title. Most just see baseball as a job, and if they win, they win, but it's not a big deal to them.

Astros shutout the Yankees to clinch the ALCS. Then won game 7 in LA for the WS title.


People need to chillax a bit.

If things are even you win on the road once in a while . Beating the Astros in Houston was nearly impossible in the playoffs and WS. They cheated on another level than anyone knew. Just vacate it now because it's going to get ugly when more comes out
