Ted Cruz doesn't understand baseball. He's both too stupid and too disconnected from regular Americans to get it.
Nutopia is hilarious. You make fun of teams and fans that have a complex and want everyone to like them. But you also dislike teams that embrace the hate.
Personally, I couldn't care less that I'm thought of as a giant douche on here. If anything, maybe that's a step up for me in some of your eyes. I avoided saying anything through this whole season and playoff until it was over, then made one comment. And now this one.
In all seriousness, I agree that MLB should have done more to the 2017 team and the individuals. But I bought in to them as my team when I moved here and I'm unlike many on here who seem to enjoy running down the teams they are fans of. I can be disappointed in 2017 and still celebrate 2022. If you disagree, I totally understand. MLB didn't punish them, so here we are today. Nothing will change that. And as a fan, I am super happy with how last night went.
Growing up, I was a fan of the Braves. I was a fan when they were turrible and would cheer that they wouldn't have the worst record in baseball. Then they got amazing pitchers but could never win the World Series. When they finally did, I was in Brazil and only found out about it months later. They could never win again after I came home. I worried that would be my lot with the Astros as well, so it felt reel good for them to finally win it again.

Like cool? What was the point of this post? You basically admit they were shameless cheaters but want us to know that you are happy lol
Remember an Astros win means Ted Cruz is happy which is a loss for America.
SEN. TED CRUZHIT BY BEER CAN AT ASTROS PARADE... Booed & Flipped Off, Too
OK, so I'm truly hopeful for a reel answer here, although I doubt I'll get it. Bruin, let's say the roles were reversed and put the Dodgers in the Astros place. How would you seriously be feeling today? Would you keep pissing on them for being cheaters? Or would you acknowledge it happened but still celebrate their next World Series victory?
wait it wasn't?Agreed. Trashtros cheating title should have been vacated.
The egregious part of it to me to me is that NOTHING HAPPENED to the Asstros after the BIG STEAL. What should have happened is that their championship trophy got taken away, and all their wins for that season vacated. That doesn't mean the Doyers would automatically get the WS trophy, just that the Asstros didn't win it because you know - fukcig cheaters.
Had that happened, and the Astros got properly punished, then anything afterward would be (presumably) legit and we could simply hate them for being too good for too long like every other annoyingly too-good-and-the-fans-don't-deserve-it franchise.
According to the Google, no it was notwait it wasn't?
Agreed. If they had vacated the title and players missed a year, I think most would be fine with the Astros at this point. It was just a crock that the people actually cheating got off free, except Beltran.
No one hated the Astros before this either. They had switched leagues and had been a punching bag for a long time. It was a GOOD BASEBALL STORY and new moneyball story until they cheated. I was reading ASTROBALL in 2019 before the scandal broke. Watching them in the WS once I learned of the rumors though, I knew something was off. They were just spitting on perfect Scherzer cutters a hair off the plate. It was obvious they knew what pitchers were coming.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Astros lose all four of their home games to the Nats in the 2019 WS (getting absolutely shelled in three of them) while winning 3 road games?
Yes. Here we go.
lol at Astros fans. You just can't help hisself.
do i have to post the trash can again
Small sample size, Nats rotating signals, karma, etc. Like you’re insane for asking the question or don’t understand baseball. Knowing the pitch that’s coming (sometimes, posted above how the Nats beat for much of the series) isn’t an automatic win.
