Houston Astros 2020 thread............

i hope no one is hitting the stros because of this. i'm ok on beaning someone in the thigh/ribs for in-game issues, but something like this seems like the wrong thing to bean guys over.
 
Some say “knowing the pitches” was a bigger edge than steroids.
But, the Astros road record in 2017 was better than their HOME record.
In fact, the Astros were first or tied for the No. 1 rank in road HRs (123), road RBIs (472) and road BA (.284).
How do you explain that?

I remember his debut in July, 1963. I was a teenager selling concessions in the stands. Few will remember that Jimmy started at SS that day. He was not a good fielder, so it's good he became a star OF. RIP, Cannon.

Do you remember when his wife stabbed him in the stomach? I was young but my memory is that this turned fans against him somewhat. We had a bad string of off the field stuff during this period, with this then Don Wilson and then César Cedeño's girlfriend. This was a crazy period in history all the way around.

Yes, I remember. We weren't choirboys by any stretch of the imagination.
 
Yayyy something other than corona virus to talk about. Not harsh enough, too harsh, will teams throw at the Red Sox every game. Let the outrage flow........
 
"A lone operator"?
Sounds like the a) love of big name Red Sox and a) blow back on the Astros caused MLB to drastically cover up this one.
 
MLB has a vested interest in the narrative that this was only the Astros and now they have dealt with those evil-doers so no more cheating!
