    That's not an apology. He prefaced by saying that everyone was doing it. "It was just the state of the game at that time". Well what the fuck are you sorry about then? Sorry that the Astros were stupid enough collectively audition for the Blue Man Group and got caught.

    Dumb fucks. All of them.

    Yeah, way too many qualifiers in his fake-ass apology. “It’s not like we did it every game” unnn ok. “It was just the state of the game” WTF? No, it was the state of the game on your team. You know how I know? If everyone was doing the same thing you were doing, it wouldn’t have worked. Dipshit. And fuck you to anyone apologizing now, after you got caught. You should be serving a 20+ game suspension, bitch.

    Not to mention, "And I'm sorry for what's come of about the whole situation"

    Are you sorry for "what's come about" or are you sorry for doing it?

    Fake ass apology

    I wonder if we can sue MLB for punishment not severe due to legal bets set in legal fantasy baseball etc changing the outcome of a game knowingly that teams were cheating.

    Idk if the Imp leads off for the Asshoes, but whoever the fuck does should get a No.1 right at their scumbag head...first pitch, opening day, whoever they play.
    Too bad it's not us...I'd really go for Kershaw opening against them so he could get some measure of revenge for the excoriation he received, especially right here on this board.
    But even if providence and inclination were all aligned, I'm sure super friendly all around Miss Congeniality Roberts would fly the verboten flag. Infuckingdeed.
    Wonder if he still has cookouts with his buddy A.J.?

    There is a report that the Padres are becoming more willing to include Luis Patino in a trade for Mookie Betts. This would be an insane return for a guy with one year left. If you’re wondering, the Dodgers likely could not beat that easily without including AT LEAST Lux. Patino is a pitching prospect with one of the highest ceilings in the game. Would guess that Myers would have to be included for the Padres to willingly move Patino. I’m 50-50 on this. The Padres would be much better, but pitching is their biggest weakness and this would give them likely a 1 Year window that could set them back a couple years if it doesn’t all workout.

    Gammons suggests the Dodgers offer a 3-4 package of Verdugo, Ruiz, Downs, Gray, Busch, Gonsolin and Kasowski. I could see MAYBE 2 of those first 5, certainly not more than that for 1 year of a guy that has been pointed out, could have GREATLY benefitted in the 2018 from cheating.

    I’m not going into the sign stealing shit, cause there’s a lot of it from Dodgers Fanfest, but Friedman said that the club is still very active on the trade front.

    Roberts was asked about the lack of action this offseason after his earlier comments about lots of turnover on the horizon. He said teams have not been realistic when discussing deals with the club.

    I know most would disagree, but I wouldn’t trade Verdugo straight up for Betts.

    Gammons is a known Red Sox fanatic, so his "deal" is all Red Sox all the way. Hell to the no.

    Dodgers speak out on Astros cheating scandal; don't want a make-up trophy
    by Liz Roscher | Yahoo Sports — 56 minutes ago

    The Los Angeles Dodgers held their annual FanFest on Saturday, and players like Justin Turner, Ross Stripling and Enrique Hernandez were there to mingle with fans. They were also there to answer questions about the only thing anyone wants to talk about: the Houston Astros cheating scandal.

    It was the first time since the commissioner released the nine-page report on the Astros’ illegal sign stealing that any Dodgers players were available to answer questions from the media. They’ve had a lot of time to think about how the Astros had been cheating as they beat the Dodgers in seven games to win the 2017 World Series, but that didn’t stop them from being brutally honest about how they felt.

    Ross Stripling knows how he and many will view the Astros’ 2017 World Series win.

    Bill Shaikin✔@BillShaikin
    Ross Stripling on Astros 2017 title: “It already has an asterisk next to it.”
    1:05 PM - Jan 25, 2020     ​

    Enrique Hernandez didn’t mince words, and summed up the whole situation succinctly.

    Bill Shaikin✔@BillShaikin
    Enrique Hernandez: “They cheated. They got away with it. They got a ring out of it.”
    12:32 PM - Jan 25, 2020    ​

    Hard to argue with that. Hernandez also had some glowing praise for his 2017 teammates.

    Alden Gonzalez✔@Alden_Gonzalez
    Kiké Hernandez, smiling: “I’m extremely proud of our guys. We won a game in
    Houston when they knew every pitch that was coming.”
    12:30 PM - Jan 25, 2020    ​

    Turner said that the scandal changed what he thought of the Astros winning, and he also wasn’t sure why the only Astros player to apologize so far has been Dallas Keuchel, who isn’t a hitter.

    Via Sports Illustrated:

    We know how hard it is to win a World Series,” Turner said. “We know that it's something you really have to earn, and with the commissioner's report and the evidence and what they had, it's hard to feel like they earned it and they earned the right to be called champions.”

    Turner added that he hasn't spoken to any Astros players and wasn't sure why former Houston pitcher Dallas Keuchel apologized for the club stealing signs.

    “Dallas Keuchel didn't hit. I don't really know why he was the one apologizing. He's the first one to mention anything like that, so I guess good for him.”    ​

    Despite not feeling like the Astros earned the 2017 World Series, he doesn’t want any retroactive championships awarded to the Dodgers.

    [​IMG] ​

    Players weren’t the only ones who had comments on the Astros illegally stealing signs. President of baseball operations Andrew Friedman had some choice things to say as well.

    Alden Gonzalez✔@Alden_Gonzalez
    Reporter: “Have any Astros called you to apologize, and have they shown
    enough remorse?”

    Andrew Friedman: “They have not, and they have not.”
    11:18 AM - Jan 25, 2020    ​

    Yikes. Astros owner Jim Crane recently said that the players intend to apologize during spring training, once they all can “sit in a room and talk about it” — presumably to get their stories straight with the assistance of several public relations people. We’ll just have to wait and see if that kind of apology is good enough for Friedman and the Dodgers.

    Only reason Kuechel apologizing is he didn’t get the extension he wanted from Houston so now is the time for him to squeeling like the bitch he and his former organization they are Fuck MLB for not dropping the hammer more severely
