The Astros took the low road to build that roster, and never turned off the low road it would seem.  What a black mark on sports overall.

Justin Verlander is oddly silent. He's usually so vocal about how cheaters should be punished. Someone ask Kate Upton if he's ok.

Cora and Hinch both fired by the Sox and Astros for cheating. Dodgers fans gotta be steaming right now. Course I hate them anyways so whatever 

A Yankees Dodgers World Series would have been fun. Oh well.

And there goes Carlos Beltran

The power of a players union is an interesting thing to watch.  I haven't read many of the details on this whole story, but he's the only player who is being punished simply because he's no longer a member of that union.

It'll be nice if Hall of Fame voters treat Altuve like they've been treating Bonds. I don't care if he bats .345 for the rest of his career. He benefited hugely from cheating.

Carlos Beltran's niece loves spilling the beans about her Uncle's business. She broke the news of him to manage the Mets 2 days early. She broke the news about him being out as Mets manager 2 days ago. Now she's outing Altuve and Bregman for wearing devices under their uniforms that buzzed. The devices we're controlled from the hallway video guy.

Edit to add: Might not be Beltran's niece, but the account has been dead on twice now with Beltran's news.

So, that's Astros, Red Sox, and Mets so far in the scandal, right?  Haven't followed baseball closely since '94 but curious if you expect any other teams/ coaches/ players to get caught up in the scandal?

Also, now that the Sox and Cheatriots are proven cheaters, wouldn't it be great (on a certain warped level) to find out that it's citywide and the Bruins and Celtics managed to get into their own cheating scandals?

It's a burner account for a player. I'd check out TSW thread on it, some guy in there is dumping a bunch of really good tweets

The Mets weren't cheating like the Astros and Red Sox.  They just hired a manager (Beltran) who was cheating while he was a player with the Astros.

There's some noise in there about your Yankees.

Cheating or being cheated on?
