    I don't believe that the consistency of cheating of Houston, when compared to NE, is commensurate

    But, this scandal was far worse than anything we can prove NE did

    Basically the Astros WS isn't a serious title

You mean to tell me that the video room guy for the Sox was decoding signals but NOT passing them to the team's players and management? That's what MLB wants you to believe. MLB is fighting like hell to keep a letter sealed that was sent to the Yankees about sign-stealing which wound up in the courts. Why, if they were trying to be transparent? Carlos Beltran came to Houston in the offseason before 2017 bragging that the Astros were way behind in the art of sign-stealing. He'd spent the previous year with the Yankees. In a recent podcast, former Astro Erik Kratz said that, as a Brewer, he turned in the Astros *and two other teams* that he knew were stealing signals. But he then refused to say what two other teams.

    Just like the pitching infractions, sign-stealing is a known issue dating all the way back to the Fifties. If they just fitted pitchers and catchers with wireless signals like the NFL uses, there would be no point to any of this. Only baseball prefers to live like it's the 1880s instead of the 2020s.
    They didn't whitewash the Red Sox scandal, that's been heavily discussed in the media

    It's also incredible that you equate old-fashioned cheating to this, because no one else does, including the players, managers, and the league

    But I guess you have to represent that position given your stance

    I saw that. His life had also been threatened multiple times in many different ways and he was covering his ass. Doesn't meant that his claims are without merit.

    I'm not trying to save anyone, just pointing out the fact that it's wholly ignorant to think that the Astros were the only team doing these shenanigans.

    I suppose, but that distracts from the main point of the Astros cheated throughout the playoffs and are poops!

    They did. No denying that. They also have the best offense, one of the best defenses, and best run differential in baseball this year. So, there's that too.

    Well, no one buys that they were better in world series* they 'won', and the Dodgers just won a WS, and made it the year prior, so

    Nah

    Well, this season the Dodgers have the same record and have suffered a rash of injuries, so it's debatable, but your position is supportable!

    Poop face!

    I think the Dodgers are going to finish third in the NL West behind San Fran and San Diego.

    If we squander one of the best rosters in recent memory, then we have no one to blame but ourselves!

    You know what would be amazing? If the Dodgers and Astros were in the World Series again and the Astros beat them again. Man. That would make me so happy. Wouldn't it be cool?
