They lost their manager and GM. This is a big loss for them--my Astros fan coworkers are suicidal right now

I didn't see a lot of crying around here when we lost Scioscia.

Well I wasn’t pleased

[failos]

And did he leave because a cheating scandal? Not a valid comparison

[AngelsLakersFan]

I'm just not gona describe the loss of a manager as a "big loss."

People are talking.  Talkin' bout' people.

Bochey would be a great hire. Great manager.

If I was Bochey I’d steer clear of that franchise for a few years.

"We got cheated out of opportunities to stab bitches..."

[Kendo36]

It sounds like the whole organization was on the same page to downplay the effectiveness of their cheating. And seems like the MLB bought it. Fairly weak penalty considering the drug testing penalties(also cheating).

Lol Doyyer fans

Lol they probably would have lost to whatever team made it out of the AL instead of the Astros anyways.

Why do these assholes think they need to put out a statement.  Jesus Christ.  Also, lol at them being a “positive light. Yes, the group that coordinates trips to other teams stadiums looking to start shit as basically a principal intention.  Definitely how I would characterize being a “positive light”

 

as insufferable as Astros and RedSox fans will be about this.  The Doyer fans pretending that “actually we won those World Series” is going to be an extremely strong match.

It would be hilarious if the Dodgers get investigated for cheating too.

Houston, we have a problem.

they still have the players -- but disarray at the front office top and manager level will be a distraction.

how about this ? New Asfros manager - CRAIG BIGGIO.

hometown hero, HOF guy -- instant favorite. 

but, does he want the job ????

I forget who but earlier in the thread someone said they might be investigated for bugging the opposing team's locker room. I think it was @YouthofToday

I think in addition to what has been done already to this franchise they should have to sign Brad Ausmus to a 10 year contract to become their manager and Jerry Dipoto as their GM. 

That'll do some serious damage short and long term.

I haven’t heard that one.  I still want to know what happened with the human trafficking shit.  That all just sort got shhh’d away.

I truly would like every Astros player from 2017 to present to wake up tomorrow morning and find they are trying to pass a kidney stone. The Red Sox players pass a kidney stone the size of a golf ball.
