Asked about Manfred's assessment that Houston had a "problematic baseball operations culture", Crane responded, "I don't agree with that at all."

:L
He also said he did not believe this tainted their world series win

Are we supposed to believe Crane didn't know anything about what was going on? They need to take away his team and give it to some homeless people

This is the most Houston sports fan thing ever. I don't know what we did decades ago to deserve this, but it must have been terrible.

They just took Bagwell out of the hall of fame and decreed that the Astros have to wear their 1976 Uniforms all season. Manfred is out of control!

And they'll start selling off players soon.


That run is ovah.


(Still wanna know what they're doing cheating wise when it comes to pitching.)

I'm honestly assuming they throw in the towel and sell off a bunch of vets.


Tucker looks like a little kid still.

Should’ve been worse. Should’ve lost draft picks for five years.

If you ask someone if winning a WS is worth it to lose two years of first and second round draft picks 99% of responses would say hell yeah it’s worth it.
Exactly what I was thinking and yet today, they had the balls to say their title was not tainted.

Curious to others opinion. Which was worse this in game cheating or illegally signing international players? The reason is the later got John Coppolella a lifetime ban and wonder if they deserved the same?

The Yankees are the victims here!

Eliminated by both the cheating '17 Astros and the cheating '18 Red Sox.


Remember when the Yankees were relevant?



Me neither.

For me, whatever. We won the World Series and those faggot bandwagon Dodgers fans and stupid ass Hollywood celebrities cried in the stands. Fuck em, fuck Magic Johnson, fuck all of em.

We take our punishment and we move on. I grew up watching roidheads slam balls out of the park and we all cheered and turned a blind eye to it. Whatever.
Solid counterpoint.
