The Red Sox Technically Cheated the Dodgers out of a World Series

By

It’s official: the Dodgers lost back to back World Series against CHEATERS. While there wasn’t sufficient evidence to conclude that the Red Sox cheated in the playoffs, but only during the regular season, they’re cheaters nonetheless. As good as the Sox were in 2018, maybe things go differently in the regular season had they not cheated…dare I say the Yankees could’ve won the AL East??

The fact that some video room guy got blamed for this whole thing is laughable. It’s not a coincidence that Alex Cora was cheating in Houston and the Red Sox just so happened to get caught for cheating the very next season. Don’t forget that the Sox were also busted for using Apple Watches to cheat in 2017 as well. They clearly have no respect for the game of baseball and spit in the face of order. I think the only thing keeping the Sox from being the Astros is that a whistleblower hasn’t come forward to expose them for the scumbags they are.

Ultimately, there’s really nothing more the League could’ve done here punishment-wise, but just like with the Astros, the league comes out losers here. The big winner is Alex Cora, who will probably end up not serving a single day of his suspension and will more than likely have a job in 2021.

The sad part is…I’m so desperate for baseball to come back that I’d be willing to absolve the Red Sox of any penalties if it meant we got the 2020 MLB season in return. It’s “fuck the Astros” till the day I die, but the Red Sox penalties are so weak anyway that I think it’s a fair trade. And just like 2017 and 2018, coronavirus is cheating the Dodgers out of another World Series win in 2020.

Cody Bellinger Roasts Rob Manfred, Astros Over Cheating Scandal

By

Cody Bellinger got extremely candid about what he thought about the Astros cheating scandal, and what he thought about Rob Manfred’s punishment.

This is what the entire league was waiting for. An extremely relevant Dodgers player giving his real thoughts in front of the media about the disgraced Houston Astros. Guys like Alex Wood and Trevor Bauer, who has thoughts on other topics as well, have been very active on Twitter lately talking about the Astros. But, we needed a guy like Bellinger to come out and speak his mind to confirm what we are all thinking. He played against the Astros in that tainted 2017 World Series. They robbed him and Los Angeles of their first title in 29 years. He deserves to be pissed about this, and Dodger fans finally have someone speaking on their behalf from inside the clubhouse publicly.

However, as bad as the Astros have looked throughout this whole debacle, Rob Manfred and the league office are looking like complete clowns too for how they handled this situation. We all thought the punishment was extremely weak, and yet, only a couple managers have lost their jobs over it. Especially after showing absolutely no remorse through this whole fiasco, players most certainly should be punished.

The only thing I will commend the Astros for is that they are officially the only athletes ever that I have actually hated. And more than just sports hate. Actual hate…something I don’t take lightly. They are terrible people. Yeah they do charity work or whatever, but who knows how much of that stuff is fabricated as well. They managed to keep the biggest secret in sports for years and stole a championship from team(s) more deserving, so I will dedicate the rest of my life to h-a-t-i-n-g them.

By now we’ve all heard that former MLB pitcher Mike Bolsinger is suing the Astros by alleging that they cost him a chance at a longer career. As far-fetched as that might seem, it’s still a worthy point to be made. You never know if you’ll get another shot in the big leagues, and in an outing against the Astros back in 2017,Bolsinger got lit up. He faced eight batters and permitted four hits and three walks in what would be his final outing as a Major League Baseball player. There were also twelve trash can bangs recorded from the Astros dugout during Bolsinger’s outing – the system they used to relay signs to hitters.

The Bellinger video released today, along with the Bolsinger story just adds to the outrage from current and former MLB players. We are nowhere near the end of this drama, and I think the Astros are in for the roughest season any professional sports team has ever endured. The scrutiny will be unmatched (fittingly) and I absolutely can’t wait to see how they handle the relentless heckling.

Devil’s Advocate: This helps with ratings and attendance. I nowwant to go to an Astros game when they come to Anaheim because I want to boo the living hell out of those guys. We’ll have to see how strongly their own fans stick behind them, but I’m sure opposing fans are thinking just like me when the Asterisks roll into town.
