Other teams cheating doesn't excuse the Astros from cheating. Even if 7 other teams did literally the exact same thing in 2017, cheating is still cheating.
I don't think the title should be vacated. Other teams were probably doing the same or similar thing. Teams with known steroid users haven't had to vacate their titles. Yes I know the scale of a few players taking steroids is different than an entire organization doing what the Astros did. If the Astros had only won because of cheating, then they would have lost every road game in the postseason. They were kinda like the Patriots, good enough to win without cheating, but cheated just because they could.

agrees with this statement. For some reason he wants to continue his crusade to prove just how retarded he can be.I will state it again. If any team, Dodgers included, get caught doing the same thing, I will be right there to shit talk them and take away any success they've had. The level they went to in order to cheat, was far and away the most egregious to date.

Vacating wins is dumb, it's not like people don't know that they won those games. People can decide for themselves how much they care about that shit, Same goes with the HoF. Put Rose, Clemens, Bonds, Arod in and let people decide how much they care about how they rank all time or whatever.

Ok let’s stop talking about the buzzers
Let’s get back to talking about Altuve going from top 5 most loved player in baseball to the absolute biggest villain in a decade. All he did was cheat (as he admitted) to win the MVP and WS.
Fuck that asshole in his stupid goat ass

Clevinger slams Astros, again: 'Biggest piece of shit in baseball history'

Well it looks like I am gonna have to prepare for Clevinger's impending suspension. If he doesnt hit an Astro batter, then he is a bitch.

Cleveland Indians right-hander Mike Clevinger isn't feeling the Houston Astros' apology for electronically stealing signs during their 2017 World Series-winning season.The 29-year-old trashed the Astros for reading off prepared statements last week while displaying an apparent lack of remorse...

Lol.
I already have him on my fantasy team (owned him for the last 3 seasons). That's about all I need to own of his.

Anderson joked the only way for Oakland to communicate would be through the ballpark's decaying infrastructure. "The lights go out, it's a curveball," Anderson said. "If there's a sewage backup, it's a fastball."

I love it.
Also that Blue Jays player is a legit drummer. Those air drum fills were on point.

This has come up a bunch of times and we've just never actually done it. It would be pretty awesome to do at least once though.
