    Does that happen regularly on this site? If it does I stand down. (but I would highly question that).

    I feel like you have some sway on this board. Are you begging people for saying the Astros cheated? Weird. You do your thing.

    Should I neg you back? Nah, who gives a shit?

    Oh no way, neg me! I simply responded to a post by an obvious Astros fan that said, don't break the rules, unless you want to get punished. Break whatever rules you want.

    I made a reply to an obvious Astros fan that said don't break the rules in the very spirit of this board. Sorry you it hit you so hard.

    Because if you asked any fanbase or ownership if they would take that punishment for a title, I think they would all agree. I could be wrong, but outside of two or three, I doubt it. A $25m fine is a joke after winning a title for any baseball team. GM/Manager? Astros seem fine? Draft picks? Astros seem fine.

    Re-read, I don't give a shit if Rose is in the hall.

    Everything that's been listed by y'all in this forum. Not going to look it up. My memory says something like a $25m fine, GM and manager jettisoned, some first round draft picks forfeited. That close enough? Every team would sign up for that. And again, the biggest transgression is the Astros messed with everybody else's money. Regular season incentives, post season incentives, all of it.

    Btw, come on, the Astros punishment was a joke. Every single franchise would take that punishment for a title. Increased ticket sales, merch, advertising more than paid for that fine.

    How many players (mostly pitchers), didn't meet incentives because of the Astros cheating? What was their recourse if any?

    You are correct. Those that impact the bottom line seem more important than those that actually impact the on field results.

    Relativism is fun. Rules can be broken and be okay, but not certain rules. Sounds like a sound set of beliefs.

    Love Astros fans white knighting for the integrity of the game.

    I'm not sure I care about the HOF, but I do not think they are bound by the ban. Rose couldn't work in baseball, and I think everyone agrees on that.

    What about using technology to steal signs?
  16. Another shocking, look at me slugga moment from the hilltop.
  17. should probably go ahead and make that a season ender for aggy.
  18. Not that it helps, but isn't his record clean? Probably important for the NRA president to be eligible for gun ownership.
  19. Dominating that run differential!
