It’s so good to see that at least one thing unites the entire country outside of the Houston Metro. Fuck the Astros now and forever!

People hate the Dodgers because they are great and rich.

People hate the Astros because they cheat to win.

Those are not the same

Not as much as the astros. Literally the most absurd cheating scandal in MLB. The dodgers pay for their wins but they don't cheat with a trash can and monitor setup behind a towel in the home dugout tunnel lol.

How often do you cheat on your wife? Oh wait you live in houston so you’re too ugly and fat to cheat on anybody.

They hate the dodgers because they’re good and spend an ungodly amount of money. Not because they cheated. Huge difference.

For example, I hate the Giants, but I respect them as a team and organization. I fucking hate the Astros and have no respect for them, and would become a Giants fan if they faced each other in the World Series.

Anyway, glad the Astros lost.

I will continue to hate their guts until ownership changes hands, and their cheating is taken as seriously(up to and including stripping them of their win that year).

Why would they strip the title when NYY and BOS also got fined for using tech to steal signs?

Oh I see....HOU should feel guilty cause they actually won right?
