Answer the question. Or are you just full of shit?
I thought that was rhetorical of you. Like I said, whether I think the Astros are tainted goods and forever get to be jeered as cheaters is my personal preference, but there is a stink on the team fair or unfair, post-getting caught cheating. 2017 is for sure an asterisk and a cheat-gained WS. Nobody doubts that. 2022 I think isn’t, but people still, fair or unfairly, associate the Astors winning with cheating. That’s why I used the words I used. Here is an interesting article which touches on both sides of the perception issue (and touches on the dynasty debate):
