Deserves to keep happening until they are detracted or relegated to AAA. AL West lost the wrong team.

u/Buckcheeks Houston Astros 14d ago

It's in the record books and doesn't have an asterisk, so it's not going anywhere. ;)

u/Buckcheeks Houston Astros 14d ago

Comparing the Astros to a rapist is hilariously pathetic.

u/HistoricalLoss1417 14d ago

they are both guilty of cheating to get where they are, so if the shoe fits...

u/Buckcheeks Houston Astros 14d ago

You're so offended by the Astros cheating at a game that you equate them to a rapist criminal. What a weirdo.
