MLB 2021 - Vaccinated and Ready to Go

God I fucking love that the Astros made the World Series in the first real season after the bullshit every team does it but only they got caught cheating accusations.

That they beat a team manages by Alex Cora to get there only makes it sweeter.

 

[DaveC]

shush let me pretend my team would never do anything shady while i blindly hate on the current season's easy villain

 

[LemonMelon]

Fuck the cheating scumbag 2017 Astros and everyone who defends them.

Yay Dusty Baker!

 

[DaveC]

if the phillies are cheating then they're just as bad at cheating as they are at everything else related to baseball.

 

[MrPryck2U]

The only thing that I can extrapolate from this entire situation is that it would be cool to see Dusty Baker, after his many years as an MLB manager, finally win a WS. Putting aside all of the cheating bullshit, Houston is the freaking blue print for how to nurture and maintain a competitive/winning team.

When teams become the pastime of hedge fund assholes, what do we really expect.

Never.

The Dodgers can back up Fort Knox for their roster and disassemble the Nats and still can't beat an 88 win team

 

[lazarus]

...and managed by an idiot like Dusty Baker on top of it.

Dusty is managing the Astros, not the Braves

 

[MrPryck2U]

My jinxes have been working. I picked the Rays to win this year's WS. Then I picked LA to sweep ATL. I still can't believe the Braves made it back to the WS. ATL picked a good time to play great baseball. I can't make a prediction for this WS. Gonna root for the Braves.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i thought baseball season was over until april?

 

[lazarus]

Ahh. Even more reason to root against them now.

 

[Hewson]

It is now.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Of the 30 cities that have Major League Baseball teams, perhaps 29 of them are rooting for the Atlanta Braves in this year's World Series, as the alternative would be cheering on the infamous Houston Astros.

But the sign-stealing scandal won't be on Tom Glavine's mind for the next week and a half. The Hall of Fame pitcher and Braves legend doesn't hold a grudge against the Astros for cheating their way to a championship in 2017.

"I don't even think about it. I'm not going to say that what the Astros did was right, by any stretch of the imagination. Everybody in baseball is trying to cheat, don't kid yourself," Glavine told The Zach Gelb Show on Monday night. "Everybody's trying to find an advantage, find an edge. Now, what the Astros did at the time crossed the line, and there's no question about that.

"But I feel like there's a lot of people casting stones who maybe shouldn't be casting stones... They crossed the line, they suffered the consequences for it. And look, to their credit, here they are again... A lot of those guys paid a pretty heavy price. But to me, it's over and done with. And any suggestion that what happened that year has something to do with what the Astros are doing this year, I just think is ridiculous."

guys ok fine, i admit it. i'm actually tom glavine.

Sounds to me like Tom is getting ahead so that when people finds out how he’s cheated it won’t look as bad as… say… the entire Chicago Blackhawks former and current organization.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

he's been retired for 11 years and in the hall of fame for 7 so i'm fairly certain he doesn't care about that one way or the other.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

I’m describing the actions of a team 11 years ago soooooo

[DaveC]

brad lidge's 48/48 saves is insane and probably the biggest factor why the phillies won the world series.

 

[MrPryck2U]

So, ATL is up 2-1 in the Fall Classic. Can't make the lady watch baseball all the time, so my viewing time has been limited. Haven't watched a full game yet.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Baseball season ended a month ago I don't know what you guys are talking about

 

[MrPryck2U]

Baseball never ends. There's free agency, "winter" meetings, Hall of Fame announcements, "Spring" training, and then the season starts. But, I definitely remember a time, long, long ago, that you forgot about baseball until March.

 

[LuckyNumber7]

Baseball ended about four years ago, guys

 

[MrPryck2U]

Baseball ended about four years ago, guys

Shitbag did The Chop. Maybe you're right.

ATL up 3-1. Holy shit.
