i tried to find some myself just now but when i image searched 'garbage can banging' some different types of pictures came up

Check this shit out. They’ve got evidence of the setup.

I have already lost the energy to care about this

Congrats Dodgers on your 2017 championship.

why should the dodgers have any greater claim to the World Series than the Red Sox or Yankees?

This is all so depressing.

no one really cares about this but PhatJ. I'd rather hear 25 MORE hours about the Alabama QB's injury than this. And I hate college football.

oh and Reid, he cares because now he is the fan of a cheater.

My brother said it best, I think, when he remarked that it doesn't change the way we felt as fans in the moment back then.

If the allegations are true, and it is looking that way, I honestly don't know if I can get excited about this team much in 2020 unless Luhnow and Hinch get suspended. I'll still go to games because baseball, but I don't see myself really caring for their success in the same way again in this era.

I'm holding on to hope that the Houston Astros will be a clean organization by the time my son is old enough to take to a game.

Speaking more broadly, it's laughable that any pro sports team is totally clean anymore. What kind of world have I brought my child into?

I don’t personally care at all. I find it interesting and I’m curious as to what MLB will do about it.

The fuck are you talking about?

I just hope the punishment from the league actually hurts. These kinds of things generally result in a slap on the wrist that provides no incentive at all to stop.

Having said that, the league did warn other teams that future punishment would be far harsher following the Red Sox Apple Watch cheating thing, so we'll see.

Wow congrats to your brother. Nobody has ever said that about a team vacating wins before.

Okay bammer

I'm just ribbing a little. I am curious as well, I wonder if they are worried that this will expose a broader problem?

so that's the interesting thing. baseball has always been about the "integrity of the game" and at least putting on the facade that it is paramount above all else. and so it can't just necessarily sweep this under the rug. to be sure, it won't result in the astros vacating the world series (that would open up a whole new can of worms). but baseball should hand down some hefty suspensions to the likes of jeff luhnow and aj hinch (like, a year or more).

At least they can all be super happy about having Osuna on the club. That will get them through the storm.

PHATJ, you're just as complicit in your fandom as I am, having accepted the multiple times that Houston has avenged the Twins against the evil empire over the last few postseasons.
