    Well, Boston has a history of not firing coaches for cheating. If Cora is fired in Boston then the NFL crybabies start chirping wanting to know why Belichick has never been fired.

    ESPN suggesting the Altuve MVP should be stripped.

    Everyone outside of Houston suggesting the team should be disbanded, title & awards vacated, and hold a draft for the remaining 29 teams so their favorite team can pick up these "cheaters". ;):rolleyes:
    Jeff Passan, Chandler Rome, Ken Rosenthal, Evan Drellich, Buster Olney, & Jon Heyman are working on this developing story.

    If Altuve played the way he did at home on the road, he wouldn't have gotten close to winning the MVP. Like most Astros, he was much better on the road than at home that season.

    Yeah, it's obvious that today is Christmas morning for baseball writers across the country. The HOT TAKEZ coming from all angles are dizzying.

    #5 is legit. I traveled to about 5-7 road series each year. Y’all can called me “a Correa or Harry” if y’all want but I probably will take a break from traveling to watch Astros regular season road games this year. Suck but I really don’t want to be harass. How much fun is that. Had enough of that **** in NY for ALCS already. It could worse going forward till thing cool down in a few years. Maybe. Playoff might be different though. I will go if it not in NY or LAD. Those fans are out for astros blood.

    If these reporters approached the ped scandals, the opioid death, and some of the stadium swindling deals with even half the sanctimony they’ve conjured up here... they likely would be sitting on a few pulitzers.

    No, Astros were good enough to win it in 2017, they should win it last year, then who cares about 2017 one. New England team always cheats, they still be able to collect their rings.

    Well they've had several weeks to work on their material and practice their serious faces.

    Can't believe the media is still clamoring for more punishment. Vacate the championship? Strip the MVP? Are you ****ing kidding? For something that is done across the league? The coverage of this is unbelievable.
