Are you a Yankees fan? I’ve been an Astros fan for years.

Lived in Dallas as a kid.  I’m a rangers fan.  I rooted for the stros for years when they weren’t playing the rangers, including in the World Series.  with the cheating thing I kinda got away from cheering for them.  More so probably because of how so many stros fans dismissed or downplayed the scandal.  The Red Sox busted for the basically the same thing a year later, so I like to see them lose now.

It didn’t make me happy. I wonder how much advantage it really gave the Stros. They beat the Dodgers in LA against their best pitcher. Also lost every home game against the Red Sox. But hey, you have guys that say “stealin” signs with a runner on 2nd is just “part of the game. I guess it comes down to what level of cheating people are willing to accept……corked bats, steroids, spitballs, cutting the ball……it’s almost endless, but I guess if the White Sox can call you a cheater, then it must really be bad.

Go Stros!

I hear you.  I think the difference for me is when you have a runner on 2nd you know he’s trying to steal the signs.  You’re not expecting someone in the outfield seats to be relaying them electronically to the dugout.

I understand that too. For me, cheating is cheating, no matter how we try to absorb it. I cursed my Stros and didn’t watch them for a whole season. I am over it and hope they kick the crap out of Boston.

    • That there’s not a single thread on the fact that the Republican nominee is on trial for paying off a porn star with whom he had an affair while the future First Lady was carrying said nominee’s child.    I remember back when the dirty, no-good Dems sacked Gary Hart over something similar. Same thing with John Edwards and later Anthony Weiner.    But y’all keep pretending God is on your side, lol. 
    • I hear what you’re saying, BUT… that hammers the hell out of poor people and the ones with multiple properties don’t eat any more than the poor ones. In fact, you’d basically just be taxing a lot of peoples’ EBT payments. The government  can’t get ahead by taxing what they’re already borrowing to give to people.    I think well off people should pay more… but the scale as it exists is broken.    For the sake of argument, my mom’s house in Groves is valued at $125k. 2/1/1 on a slab.  Her tax bill is $850/year. Without exemptions, her bill would be 3200. It’s right on JCAD’s website. The problem is this…. If someone tries to rent out an identical house, they’d expect to get, what… $1200/month? If you take into account that homeowners/windstorm/flood is a minimum of another $2k per year, you’d need $5k a year just to cover the taxes and insurance. That’s four months (1/3 of the year) just to cover those costs, not counting a potential mortgage payment. But then everybody cries about how expensive rents are… you can’t tax the hell out of non-homestead property to make up for gifts given to homeowners in the form of big tax cuts. It just doesn’t work.    Ten acres in Lumberton? I’ve got a buddy with 10 acres in Lumberton on HWY 69. Prime property… it’s his retirement plan. Sale it one day and cash in. The CAD decided that it no longer qualifies for a special use valuation (timber) and stripped his “exemption.” His 2023 tax bill jumped from $25 to $22,000…. It’s insane.  
    • I’m curious what happened… they aren’t even in full pads yet. 
    • They’re going to have win almost all remaining games and get finals of tournament to think about an at-large. When LU was in the WAC, Grand Canyon got an at-large after New Mexico St came out of nowhere to win conference tournament. Grand Canyon had a dang good resume that year. It can happen, but resume wise isn’t in their favor.
