I’m a life-long Red Sox and Cubs fan but I have to admit that I was really rooting for the Nationals last year. They were the only good thing to come out of Washington, D.C. for years!
So, with the commissioner turning a blind eye to the Astro Players cheating doesn’t this mean that the 1919 Chicago White Sox can be considered for the HOF?
Fact: PEDs were ignored by teams & players until no cover up possible. Astros road record better than home record that year AND Astros & Nats won ALL games on the road this past WS. Fans should understand how little their concerns matter.
Why the delay on the Red Sox? MLB TV darlings perhaps?. I think a two year ban on post season play would possibly silence the critics. Manfred, it appears, doesn’t haven’t the guts for this.
Commish could not ban them forever – all of the miscreants on the field were Hispanic. It’s a racial issue – he had to choose between doing the right thing and doing the politically correct thing.

After all the HBPs the astros are going to endure, they will probably lead the league in scoring.

They also lost to the cheating Red Sox, but their loved by ESPN so they get a pass, but then the Nationals beat the Astros, how about that LA?

This whole thing turns my stomach. There is no joy in Mudville and I don’t know if it will ever come back

Houston will be in big trouble this year…

I hope you’re not expecting justice from MLB. Or right now, from anywhere else.

I have noticed that none of the owners demanding that someone look into cheating on a league wide basis.

The only fitting punishment here is for the Astros’ World Series win to be vacated, or however you phrase that.
