What would you have done

Manfred wasn’t ready for the depth of corruption

Or the backlash

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/aubrey-huff-san-francisco-giants-2010-world-series-041115744.html

Huff has been vocal for years on Twitter about a number of political and social topics, including almost daily tweets supporting President Donald Trump. Among his other tweets are comments on the “sexual market value” of men and women, mockery of transgender pronouns, condemnation of divorce alimony for athletes and scribbles of Conor McGregor beating up a liberal then high-fiving Trump.

Despite all that, Huff said he was surprised to get the cold shoulder from the team in quite possibly the most liberal media market in the country.

“Quite frankly, shocked. Disappointed. If it wasn’t for me, they wouldn’t be having a reunion,” Huff said. “But if they want to stick with their politically correct, progressive bulls---, that’s fine.”

Of course, it’s probably worth wondering if not wanting to be associated with a person who tweets statements like “Let’s kidnap 10 Iranian women and make them feed us grapes” might not be political correctness so much as basic common sense.

What a clown.

Thanks to all for posting that stuff on Huff.

Neanderthal

Wife divorced him, then reconciled, then divorced him again. Hopefully she has custody of the kids. Otherwise, they will grow up and become an idiot like their father. He said the mother of his sons married him simply for the money.

Huff clearly demonstrates that you can be a world class athlete despite a lobotomy.

*sniff sniff*


Boo hoo

Third, MLB offered what might be regarded as an excessive reward to the players for admitting to wrongdoing. The players were assured if that if they revealed what happened, they’d avoid punishment altogether. This was an important inflection point in MLB’s investigation and likely an unnecessary step. The players essentially pleaded guilty and walked away scot-free. A guilty plea normally means a reduced punishment, not no punishment.

- Mike Trout -- exemplary athlete, polished face of baseball, as uncontroversial as they come -- stood in front of an Angels-themed backdrop Monday morning and joined the swelling list of star players taking pointed shots at the Houston Astros. Trout stated that he "lost respect" for peers he once considered friends, called all of this "sad for baseball" and cracked jokes about how "fun" it would be to know which pitch was coming.

Yes the same Mike Trout using steroids with league approval.

Imagine …. if our beloved '87 and '91 winners were found to be CHEATERS

I mean, you can just blow it off, and say whatever … but think about how differently we would have looked at them than we do now.
Easy to say, "woulda loved em anyhow" … but they're finding out as they ask the Astros fans … they are taking it hard.
Its a really sad chapter in a story that had really made them proud.

Have it voted on by owners and players

And it would be a * on the 2017 Astros

Read the article on ESPN if you wish

Let the players keep their rings. Be like a Scarlett Letter when they wear them for any real fans of the game.

I sure nobody has the right to take back rings anyway. They were essentially a gift from the team not mlb and I doubt recipients sign a contract when they get them.

Hey now. Our champinships are legitimate. It's not like our first baseman pulled physically lifted a guy off the based and "tagged hiim out" or anything...

As Girardi said, right now, cheating hasn't really cost them anything but a little uncomfy-ness.
Not much future deterrant, if you want to be honest.

Wait, no note needed, I could have told you that.
