Somehow, they always end up breaking my heart.

 

I’m speechless.

    I just wanted to say that I feel very bad about this for your sake.I am a Texas Rangers fan,so I understand feeling sad over your team’s malfunctions.

    Wonder what Chief Justice Roberts thinks about the money in professional sports. Certainly as effective as the money in politics as a corrupting influence.

  3. With legal wagering on all sporting events, it’s only gonna get worse (see also: Citizens United decision)

  4. Was wondering when/if you were going to address this. I’m just so sorry about this mess. Still, it was apparently an open secret because the Nats came up with a very elaborate system to foil these machinations during the World Series. (This only came out when the charges were made public.) Obviously, it worked.

  5. Your heart? What about the hearts of Dodgers fans?

    Screw ’em all. So-called “professional” sports of every kind (and on down from uni to LL) have been a cesspool of cheating and corruption for a long time.
    PBS Newshour even had a long segment on this today. It’s serious crap when there’s millions involved, let alone screwing the other guys.
    Worse when gambling is involved ( I’ve seen bets getting settled in the stands throughout HS football games, jfc). Of course I’ve never seen the point of betting on ‘stuff’ of any kind (maybe if you’re actually participating one-on-one). The house always wins a stacked play anyway.
    I worked with some minor leaguers, coaches, they would snicker about it. And were the type of coworker you sometimes needed an armored backplate with, iykwim.
    A close kin always bragged about cheating at golf (like DiJiT), what’s the point? Supposed to be an enjoyable game of individual skill, and you want to F it up.

    All that talk and hype about ‘clean, sportsmanship, character building, yadayada’ seems to often be utter bullshit.

  7. I just don’t get this. Stealing signs is a practice that has gone on for decades, and way before video cameras. What I don’t understand is why they’re not ALL doing it.

  8. Sorry, JJ —I know you love you some Astros, but all gods have clay feet. Especially when they are human and under great pressure to meet the expectations of others — especially the others who write the checks.

    I’m with Gerg. Baseball has a long tradition of sign stealing as a part of the game. This is a buncha old, technologically-impaired white guys getting their shorts in a wad because somebody figured out how to do it more efficiently.

    Every single player on the 2017 WS wining team would have known of the video sign stealing scheme.

    The entire team are cheaters. Full stop.

    Greg and Earl apparently approve of institutionalized cheating. What next parabolic microphones to pick up conversations in the opposing dugouts? Hidden video cameras in the dugout to peek at notes on the managers lineup card? Microphones in the opposing teams’ changing room to pick up managers/coaches/players’ chatter on upcoming games?

    Guess they might as well make sports cheating legal. Maybe a post season prize for the most creative cheating. Like Alex Cora going to Boston where he upped his (cheating) game. Chances are he’ll be looking for a job soon. Being in Boston is good for him because the Patriots are looking for a more creative ball boy.
