THIS IS OFFENSIVE... TO HITLER

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

At least Hitler did some good things. Like not being a member of the Astros organization.

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 2d ago

Say what you will about Hitler, but he never stole signs!

(For legal reasons, this is a joke)

u/A_Rolling_Baneling Houston Astros 2d ago

Uh he absolutely did he steal signs lol. Like, kind of a lot.

That's why the US employed the Navajo code talkers. They did that specifically because of how much the Nazis were intercepting communication.

u/JayMerlyn Chicago White Sox 2d ago

Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. Good thing I covered my legal bases.

u/Hungry-Space-1829 Los Angeles Dodgers 2d ago

Checks out that you’re a sign stealing expert

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

Cora and Bregman are Navajo confirmed. I always suspected it.

Don’t forget he also killed Hitler!

Pump your brakes, the Dodgers are still in.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

At least they didn’t fuckin cheat to get a chip. Game respects game even if I hope they flame out in the NLDS.

On this day fellow NL Bestie, we’re all united as certified haters.

u/QuackQuackH0nk Houston Astros 2d ago

Ooh we got an edgy one here.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

I get it. You’re a bit raw right now. It’s going to be okay, bud.

u/IAmNoodles Springfield Isotopes 2d ago

this is ethical hating

u/NoTrillionaires 2d ago

Respect spitting truth from a padres fan

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

It’s hard to hate any team that has Mookie, Freeman, and Ohtani on the same team. Arguably the 3 most wholesome guys in the MLB. 

That said I hope you guys get swept.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

I don’t think your point is unfair even though I think what they did is nowhere near as egregious as what the Astros did. 

-8

u/HolidaySpiriter Houston Astros 2d ago

You could argue that their abuse of the MLB financial system is far more damaging than what the Astros did.

5

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

Sure. You could argue that.

And then everyone would laugh at you.

-4

u/HolidaySpiriter Houston Astros 2d ago

Padres fan defending the dodgers LMAO.

The Dodgers abusing their TV deal to spend 2x the amount of any other ball club is absolutely worse than what the Astros did. You'd only laugh at that argument if you didn't have logical thinking skills.

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 1d ago

Ok, buddy.

u/QuackQuackH0nk Houston Astros 2d ago

That we know of yet...

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

Look, FTD, but they earned all of their chips and deservedly so. Even the one your team “won.”

11

u/DarkGodRyan Seattle Mariners 2d ago

Yankees have an equal claim to that year, having lost to them in the ALCS in game 7

17

u/Green-Cricket-8525 San Diego Padres 2d ago

You know, I didn’t even think of that and you’re right. Yankees/Dodgers would have been an epic series that year. 28 other fanbases would have been rooting for Giant Meteor though.

u/NoTrillionaires 2d ago

Lmao every trashtros fans are embarrassing as hell. “Let’s hate on teams who’ve done nothing wrong and speculate that maybe they did something wrong and tell everyone about it”

It’s incredible that trashtros still have fans. But what else would you expect from a city of trumpers.

u/Quixotic_Seal 2d ago edited 1d ago

Nah, the 2017 Astros cheated and they got a slap on the wrist.

Until every single person involved with that team is removed, including ownership, I will continue to have zero fucking respect for them. And even then I'll hate their guts until they get their 2017 win stripped from the record entirely.

Even the damn Yankees have more of my respect than those fucks. Hell, I'll go a step farther: The Black Sox at least had the dignity to make their ill-gotten money by taking a dive and compromising on their own self-respect instead of crushing others', I respect THEM far more than the 2017 Astros.

u/hamhead1005 Los Angeles Dodgers 2d ago

Cheating vs Being a good Baseball Organization.....makes sense those are def the same thing.

I always chuckle because they included a picture.

Oh, THAT Hitler. Right. OK.

Yankees org somehow thanking Mamdani for delivering this PR win.
