I'm sure it's nothing. Nothing at all.

Well this will be interesting. Like who still tries to secretly film stuff? I gave up my secret filming days when @kiwi caught me. The Astros should give it up as well.

 

[Strings]

Oh oh. Again

Stealing signs and pitchers doctoring the ball has been going on almost since the sport was invented.

One year I'm pretty sure the Sox and Yankees caught each other with people in the stands with binoculars during a home and home series.

And pitchers using stuff for a better grip on the ball is almost necessary on some nights (too cold or too hot) so they don't lose control and hit a batter in the head at 90+ mph.

much ado about nothing , from what Im hearing

 

[Strings]

I agree.
Aren't you glad?

I agree.

I'd say the Lively Ball and Designated Hitters are fads which should end.
Bring baseball back to 1929 standards.

I'm an Indians fan. The Indians lost to Houston in the opening series because the Indians played like shit. Not because Houston cheated.

 

[Strings]

There are some Indians fans rolling around in salt right now though.
The Astros swept them in the division series.

Edit: Not Yeppers though. He understands things.

I'm undecided on the DH. Started in 1973.
Let me think about it some more, Nukes.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

just the media trying to stir shit up
just let the teams play

 

[Strings]

Yep. The games are good enough.
Let them play.
I guess there will always be but hurt though.
My team lost badly. Someone must have cheated!!!

Our hitting sucked. I wish we would have been stealing signs from them.

 

[Strings]

Sign stealing from the seats would explain why Houston batters seem to be stepping out of the box more than teams usually do.
They have to give the guy time to text it in.
Maybe he types slow.

 

[Strings]

Fat ball
.. I mean last ball.
Fuck

Fast ball.

 

[Mean Mr. Mustard]

Autocorrect, the downfall of a major sport

That's gonna melt the baseball rink.

 

[nukes]

While we're at it, put hockey back on frozen lakes where it belongs. Zamboni zamschmoni.

 

[Strings]

Now I hear the Astros claim they weren't cheating when the filmed the Indians and Red Sox dugouts. They were making sure the other teams weren't cheating.

Ahh the shit we take serious in life.

 

[Strings]

Ok, Nukes. The Sox win the pennant.
American League champions.
On to the world series against either the Dodgers or Brewers. That series isn't over just yet.

Who do we know in Milwaukee, Nukes?
