Here's the thing that makes me absolutely livid about this... Cheating happens all the time in baseball. At all levels. All levels. The MLB itself cheats the game by juicing the ball. Players juiced to the absolute gills. Pitchers have been putting every substance known to man on the ball for an edge. Scuffing the ball. Pine tar. Snot. Whatever for an extra inch of movement. Corking bats and getting caught red handed. But almighty baseball and their decrepit, old as fuck, unwritten rules loving core fan base picks and chooses what is "real" cheating and what isn't. Teams knew what the Astros were doing DURING THE SEASON, as evidenced by mound visits and changing of strategy during the game, and don't say jack shit. People are willing to suspend belief and pretend like the players weren't talking about this behind closed doors while it was happening and sat on it because they were all doing some form of this one way or another. People want to pretend like the MLB home office didn't already hear about this while it was happening and sat on it the way MLB sits on everything. Red Sox did it with Apple watches but nobody cares because they didn't win anything using it. But Mike grows a conscious all of a sudden, goes to the press, and now because the media got its teeth into it and now the MLB is all fire and brimstone and shocked, absolutely shocked that cheating is going on in America's past time of only the holiest of holy integrity and sacred worship of all that is unwritten tradition. So now all of these players who have shared locker rooms with guys who cheat and said absolutely dick about it and continue to look the other way are getting their soundbites in, getting in their shots so as to appear to be above the cheating fray, but we all know how this is going to end. It's going to come out after all the damage is done to Houston that 16 other teams did this, too, and some of the guys dropping hot sound bites will be popped for some other form of unsanctioned cheating, but people aren't going to give near as much of a fuck as they did when Houston did it. Because that's how sports roll. The only thing people care about is how much blood you can put in the water to feed the frenzy. And if you're an East Coast media darling team that gets ESPN paid like the proven, multi-time champions of cheating NE Patriots, or the "no price is to high, no crime is too big" SEC, then who cares, still a dynasty, bruh. If the Yankees won a World Series and it came out this was happening, it would be "sign stealing has always been a part of the game. It's just more sophisticated now." Fuck, man, when Barry Bonds' head and hands grew 5 sizes in one summer from replacing his entire blood supply with the stem cells of 1,000 baby fetus, you still had people in the media saying "it doesn't put the bat on the ball for him! He still has to hit it!" And I'll say this: Mike Fiers isn't some hero in the front office behind closed doors. He went outside the family on this one. MLB will crush anyone who says that publicly and will continue to laud him as a catalyst towards "bringing integrity back to the game," but lets be real here. This is the same league that punted for as long as possible on juiced players because the home runs brought more eyeballs. It wasn't until the media started pushing the issue did the righteous indignation popped up. Mike Fiers brewed up a shit storm and nobody in the MLB front office is happy about this. Oakland isn't happy about this. That locker room just lost a little extra "sanctity" over this. A's players will be looking over their shoulder a little more with a guy known to spill the locker room secrets around them. Fiers is in his contract year this year. He had a fantastic first year. If he has anything less than a stellar year, the A's aren't re-signing him. MLB is quietly hoping that Fiers does everyone a favor and fades into the background. There. That's it. This is everything that I've been quietly ranting to myself about in traffic for the past two months. Now some 65 year old baseball purist can chime in and tell me how I don't know dick about the "real history" of the game and why what the Astros did was somehow different than the thousands of instances of systemic, continuous, and premeditated cheating that happens every season. It's either cheating or it's not. Either it's all punished or none of it is punished. Unwritten rules, my ass.18 points

He goes to the CR and talks about the end of the world because of the current POTUS. You do that and you are pretty much a god in there. Look at all of the highest repped posters on this site and you will find one thing in common. It’s from the CR.11 points

Good Lord you are such a pussy. Trump's campaign is going to scream something about whomever the Democrats nominate. Hillary Clinton was literally Satan incarnate. Obama was going to take all your guns (I guess he forgot; yes I know Trump didn't run against him, the point is that this is standard election stuff). Sanders is a socialist. Warren will collapse the economy with her insanity. Biden is a doddering old fool who will destroy the country through senility. Bloomberg is a short little gnome come to take your soft drinks away and who will stop every black person in America for a quick frisk. Get the fuck over it and scream back. It's kind of funny, bad_teammate's silliness doesn't even affect me anymore because he's been around for years. Your recent appearance on political threads, on the other hand, has actually started to make me like Sanders more. I'm still in favor of Warren, but shut the fuck up already.10 points

Baker's play tonight is an indictment on Shaka and his inability to use the season to develop his roster. Just like Kai was a revelation earlier in the season and Donovan Williams in the middle of the season, Baker's play tonight is about his inability to gain confidence and get into a rhythm of play throughout the season.6 points

I saw two such polls: one said 52% and the other said 58%. Those are not "overwhelming majorities." And let's poll those same people and see if they think the Giants should be stripped of their championships in 2010, 2012, and 2014 because Barry Bonds was on enough steroids to kill an elephant. Then ask them about the 1988 Oakland championship with Mark McGwire. Or the 1999 and 2000 Yankees' championships with a juiced-up Roger Clemens. Ohhh, I bet that one'll put a quick stop to all this media talk about asterisks... You see the problem here? If you play this game, you're gonna end up with an asterisk on every year from about 1980 to present. And I'll say it again, don't be swayed by all of these players coming forward with faux outrage about the integrity of the game. They just want to get in front of a camera. And they're full of shit. Every single one of them knows a cheater in their clubhouse. Especially the 2017 Dodgers and Giancarlo freaking Stanton. Get the fuck out of here with your moral compass bullshit when you look like you had a linebacker injected into each bicep.6 points

Yes, his latest comments have brought on a real downpour of emotions from all sides. He should’ve just bunkered down to wait out the storm and let things blow over. Instead, this lawsuit could be a real damper on an otherwise bright forecast for his career. The silver lining is that we get more juicy drama while Rudolph seeks one last big check before spending the rest of his career as a meteorologist in Stillwater. That and the fact that a moron like Hugo Stiglitz has like 10,000 rep points are the two biggest indictments on the CR, IMO.6 points

Man, one of those things like cancer for a family member. Never see it coming. Long story long, got a text this morning from my floor manager at the factory he couldnt get in the SAP. Told him to try another client. Same. Then I tried to log in from my phone to the admin account and the PW was changed. Used my secret to everybody else admin and saw a skull and crossbones image on the server. All encrypted. Got damn here we go. Throw on a hat a drive to the office. Done. They want money. Luckily my server is backed up off site and we will be fine buy likely cant bill until thursday. I dont want to prosecute this person, i want to use an aluminum bat with 3 free swings on this lowlife piece of shit. For those computer dudes who understand this, it looks like a brute force attack on an open port. Got locked down. IF we get up and going tomorrow only a 20k loss. I'm guessing thursday at best. F hackers. I want to murder them.5 points

Read her policy pages. Dive in. She’s got the most comprehensive plan to attack wealth inequality. It’s impressive and it’s based on investing where we need it. She’s a proven track record on corruption and protecting consumers. She’s deliberate, intelligent, and her policy chops shows she will build a stellar team and rebuild the executive apparatus that trump has destroyed.4 points
