Now that I think about it, it was an NYC writer who criticized MLB commissioner and life-long Yankees fan Rob Manfred for covering up cheating by the commissioners team, and only going after the Astros and the Red Sox.
I wasn’t surprised when I read that. I found the two teams most suspected and accused by other MLB teams of cheating were the gLAsshouse gang and the commissioners team, so I already thought it suspicious that the only teams to be investigated were the two who had been ending the commissioners team’s post season in recent years.
The Astros won game 2 and game 7 on the road in the 2017 WS.
Glasshouse gang lol
Yep, and Boston won 2 at LA when they won it in 2018. '17 and '18 combined, the gLAsshouse gang was 3-4 on their own home field. They could admit that was a major factor, but they’d rather be hypocrites and criticize their opponents for cheating.
Cardinals fired their manager after that season?
Are you kidding me!?!?
“Philosophical differences.”
That means he told the GM he was full of ### about something. The guy led them to 17 straight. Do they realize how incredibly hard that is as a manager of a pitching staff? You gotta be dialed in.
I know that is crazy. That is not the Cardinals way.
Never seen a pitcher with such a low delivery. (Giants)
That guy makes Dan Quizzenberry look like Tom Seaver.
No way to end a play-off series.

There is no way he went around on that.
Just another example of things MLB does to get the team they want in the WS to the WS. It’s a business and they want to maximize profits. Don’t be surprised if Houston and Atlanta suffer similar fates.
No McCullers for the ALCS.
That whole inning is a case study on criminal enterprise. The guy has a strike zone on the shins for 8 innings and the minute Scherzer comes in he’s calling strikes above the shoulders.
What a literal crime.
And the ending was as fake as you can get. The ump tried to rationalize it after the game. “I have to make a quick drcision.”
Lol
Astros scaring me.
How 'bout them Stros, yo?
And the Dodgers should be the ones crying about cheating! Without cheating their team wouldn’t be going that far in the post seasons the last few years!
The commissioners team even has the gLAsshouse gang beat. They also cheat, MLB also cheats for them… and they still can’t make it to the World Series!!!
Bosox got every break last night.
Houston vs Atlanta! Next to Houston vs Milwaukee, probably fox’s worst nightmare going into the postseason. One thing for sure: players and fans won’t be dressed like they’re on an Arctic expedition.
Yea, its not their dream matchup. But they can use ATL as Cinderella and HOU as The Borg.
The cheaters vs the racists. Chop Chop!
I can just hear it now.
