I hate the Nationals (I kinda had a soft spot for the Expos) but I think MLB is fortunate they pulled it out in the WS last year.

I love your idea. You can never take away the joy the Astros and their fans experienced due to their cheat. You can never take away the pain that the Dodgers, Yankees and their fans experienced while being cheated. So you have to cripple them going forward. For a year, two years, whatever. But make it such that nobody is going to want to pay to watch them play for at least a year.

In soccer, when teams get caught cheating like this, they get automatically relegated or they get a points deduction which, if severe enough, practically ensures relegation.
There’s no relegation in Major League Baseball, but what about this? The Astros will be deemed to start 40 games back to begin the 2020 season both for division and wild card purposes. They will thus have to make up forty games in the standings in order to either win their division or finish ahead of who would have been the second wild card team. In 2021 it ratchets down to a 30 game penalty, in 2022 20 games, in 2023 10 games, and none after 2023.
And the owners should fire Manfred.

The saddest thing I read about was Yu Darvish's wife posting a picture of their son sobbing as his father was getting shelled in game 7. People's lives were damaged.

Vacating their title would be a huge deal. But it doesn't help that the Yankees and Dodgers are both pissed off at the Astros and MLB about this right now.
When my wife and daughter are sending me videos and coming to me to talk about sign stealing. this has gone to a whole new level. That's how I gauge the severity of the scandal.

The Reddick picture is clearly confetti and a necklace plus he stunk that series.

We had some obnoxious, huge Bostonian next to us who was spewing the WORST (yeah, I'm a former 700 Leveler) sexually-oriented profanity at the women Eagles fans I have EVER heard. His "better half" was a Anna Nicole Smith wannabe who barely watched the game. To this day, I somewhat regret not belting that guy. (SOMEWHAT....b/c he likely would have pulverized me!).
It was actually pretty pathetic as this was after the game was over.
My code of conduct: It's ok to root for your team. It's not ok to taunt. Usually I get along with opposing fans

I was there, sitting up in the upper level watching it all unfold. Never watched the broadcast of the game.
Mr. 3D: yeah that would have changed McNabb/Reids legacy forever.
