I'd fuck those Kstate female cheerleaders

Cunningham is the only player on our team with active hands. He goes after the ball aggressively. It's really nice to see.

Hey now he raise his hands up and gave an inquisitive look.

We are going to win 62-57.

I agree but one of the big arguments from Astros fans is that the cheating had no effect on them winning the world series so it's all ok.

I'm not denying any of that. I'm just stating that no one knows what kind of effect it had it the postseason and especially in the World Series. So to definitively say that it had minimal impact is ignorant. So would definitively saying it's the only reason the Astros won. No one will ever truly know what effect it had in that series. It likely had some impact in a series in which every pitch matters. The extent of that impact will never be know unless Astros players come out and admit that the only reason they got a certain hit, walk, home run was from the sign stealing.

Sign stealing can absolutely give a team a huge advantage during a 7 game series. Whether it did for the Astros we will never know. Knowing what pitch is coming is a huge advantage to a batter. Sometimes, though, it doesn't matter because that pitcher has a pitch that is just unhittable at that moment, just ask Bellinger.

Then why did they keep doing it? The idea that it didn't help them is just plain stupid. Of course it helped. That's why they started it in the first place. That's why they kept doing it after the commissioner warned every team about harsher penalties to come.

I think they said by the end of February.

Astros fans: You can't trust the fake Beltran Niece account. It's clearly all bullshit. Also Astros fans: This fake twitter account run by an Astros fan out for revenge is clearly telling the truth about Fiers sleeping with a 17 year old (legal) girl is the gospel truth. The dude is a pedophile who should be executed.

I don't know how that $30-50 million number came about but I assume it would include playoff revenue plus the value of winning the World Series.

He was a hell of a lot better before cancer.

Wouldn't surprise me if he is hitting shots tonight because he is more comfortable knowing he won't be pulled suddenly for bad play.

Well he is a freshman in his 5th career game.

So who let Dennison out of the CR?

And yet they still have as many legitimate championships as the Astros.

I mean technically it wasn't against the rules until the Yankees and Red Sox were caught using Apple watches and the commissioner's office told everyone to stop it.

They weren't wearing them on the field you dumbass. And weren't using them in 2018.

Where is the Mookie Betts wrist buzzer stuff coming from?

You're called a dumbass because you are not supported by intelligent brain cells.

I'm as hard on the Astros as anyone and I think the buzzer stuff is just dumb. It makes no sense that he would be doing something completely different than everyone else.

Altuve won the MVP in 2017 and has been the face of the franchise. He's an easy target because of that. His MVP is now a joke too.

It's a big scandal because they cheated and were the champions. The World Series went to game 7, so they likely don't win without cheating. Why would they continue to cheat if it didn't work? Anyone who has played baseball knows that if you know what pitch is coming you have a much greater chance of hitting it. The Dodgers are pissed because the cheating directly cost them a championship. Would you not also be pissed? No one truly believes that the Astros were the only team doing this. We just don't and won't ever know how widespread it was. Likely only a few teams at most, not the entire league as Astro fans would have you believe. The Astros seem to have been the dumbest and most obvious about it, though. The 2019 Astros were better than the 2017 Astros. Both teams were good enough on talent alone to win a championship though. The two biggest instigators of the cheating, Beltran and Cora, were gone by 2019. That probably played a big role in their cheating being stopped, if it actually did.

I contribute the lack of a PG that year as much if not more so to Barnes. That said Shaka should have found some JUCO PG who could handle the ball.

Congrats to all of you who ran but especially to @Your Mom kid. Way to go to that badass.
