Title: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: takncarabizniz on 01 15, 20, 04:38:30:AM They cheated...and while there is "no way" to definitively know who all took part (bull), they cheated.
They should lose the title. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28477741/why-anger-boiling-scenes-houston-astros-sign-stealing-punishments (https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/28477741/why-anger-boiling-scenes-houston-astros-sign-stealing-punishments) Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: Dan on 01 15, 20, 02:44:24:PM Yep. And the Yankees should be declared the American League pennant winners, thus extending their World Series decade streak.

Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: gwboolean on 01 15, 20, 04:52:22:PM Sign stealing?!?!?! Seriously they should be stripped for that?!?!?!?!? Sorry to be the one to break it to you MAWADs, but sign stealing is and has been done by every single MLB team for over a hundred years. Why is this an issue to you all of a sudden?

It makes no difference if the Dodgers would have beaten the Yankees or not. The Yankees' World Series decade streak would have continued. MAKING it to the World Series. Not winning it. Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: Dan on 01 15, 20, 04:59:04:PM Defective GW,
It was HOW they stole signs and relayed them to the batter. They used sophisticated technology. We're not talking about a runner on 2nd indicating to the batter which side of the plate the catcher is setting up on. They used telescopes and smart watches. Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: sine-qua-non on 01 15, 20, 04:59:57:PM It would have made a difference to the Dodgers and to the Yankee (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif)
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: omiaqt on 01 15, 20, 05:04:58:PM Knowing when the steal is on, is big for Pitcher/Catcher! I think they should lose the post season...for two years, should they get there.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: wvit1001 on 01 15, 20, 05:05:16:PM cheating, bad calls, etc. result in penalties, suspensions and such but they don't go back and reverse games or revoke titles.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: August West on 01 16, 20, 05:17:37:AM Stealing signs in baseball is legal and has been going on since the 19th century. Using electronic devices is a new way to steal them and it`s illegal. Takn is correct. The Patriots should have at least one of their SB titles taken away as well for deflating footballs.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: bluespower on 01 16, 20, 08:58:49:AM it's a slippery slope...probably some kind of cheating in any other sport
a generation or more of steroid use in football and all other sports amphetamine use...pain numbing injections...fill in the blank erase all winners and award no lower level winners chaos and anarchy will reign Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: August West on 01 16, 20, 11:27:13:AM You`re probably right about cheating in every sport but when you`re caught and not punished, there`s no deterrent. Nobody in their right mind should gamble on a sporting event.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: gwboolean on 01 16, 20, 11:49:09:AM I quit watching almost all sporting events some time ago. However, I do enjoy watching the whining about different aspects of it.
My current favorite is the debate over paying college players. Of course my own solution for that is to just eliminate college sports then they not only would not have to pay players they would save $Millions a year that could be used towards education. Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: Jw2 on 01 16, 20, 12:53:37:PM I agree gwboolean...the usually suspect aesopsretreat right wingers lack any sense of morality and fairness.
Golf, particularly professional golfers, requires that the individual honestly follow the rules. I've seen a number of cases of professional golfers self report there rules errors/violations. Knowing that Fuhrer Trump cheats at golf exposes his and their lack of honesty. I wouldn't play golf with any of them. Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: sine-qua-non on 01 16, 20, 01:38:02:PM Americans have seen The DemoncRats lack of fairness and mortality in their political partisan impeachment farce
in the house, now they will see the Senate be fair after the house funeral marched dirge their articles to the Senate ending the kangarooo impeachment hoax to the Dims demise in the 2020 elections (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif) Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: gwboolean on 01 16, 20, 01:53:59:PM Certainly Americans have seen the MAWAD TrEA$on party and their complete lack of fairness and morality in their numerous pollical partisan investigations and impeachment farces. Now they are whining about it happening to them. It makes their poor little punkin' heads explode.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: Dan on 01 16, 20, 02:10:59:PM Fuhrer johniel is 100% wrong. He is a liar and a hypocrite.
Title: Re: Why shouldn't the Astros lose their title? Post by: sine-qua-non on 01 16, 20, 02:21:49:PM The Treason Party Dims heads should be exploding
to see their do nothing leaders killing off their minuscule chances of returning to power in 2020 over the past 3 years with hoax after hoax while the Republicans get historic legislation signed and Trump continues to fulfill his promises (https://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/Smileys/classic/hattip.gif) |
