"I want to attend every Houston Astros game this season with a trash-can lid and bang it every time one of their sign-stealing cheatballs comes to bat. I want to find Commissioner Rob Manfred and pelt him with Stay Puft marshmallows for his pillowy-soft punishment of the most crooked team in baseball history. Chicago Black Sox? Please. That scandal was eight players in one series. This was the whole team, and coaches, for two full seasons."


"The Crookedest Team in History," by Rick Reilly.

  1. Excellent article except ... he's not really angry enough.

    I swear if I could throw a pitch in the 90's that bores in on a right-hand batter I'd shatter Altuve's cheekbone and dislocate, no, better yet, rupture his left eye!

    Fuck him that little fraud prick.

  3. Rick Reilly is, in this baseball fan's humble opinion (well, maybe not SO humble), a national treasure as a sportswriter. I haven't played golf in 45 years, yet I bought "Commander in Cheat" and enjoyed it so much - - AND found it enlightening, at the same time, that I went to Amazon & bought three more of his books. All of them proved to be as enjoyable as was CinC, and he gets my heartiest recommendation.

    If you feel he's not angry enough, please give him a little slack, Winnie - - violence just doesn't seem to be part of his shtick. I'm with you, though - - I know what I would personally enjoy doing to alter Altuve's anatomy, the blasted little PUNK.

  5. Pitchers motto this year should be:

    “Hit the tattoo, win a suit.”

    Maybe pitching staffs ought to have a designated hitter this year.
