The Chinito gesture by Gurriel with national network cameras all around. The last thing this town needs is more outsiders thinking we’re a bunch of illiterate racist hicks. But it's okay if the residents know the truth, right? j/k  I would’ve replied sooner, but I was busy drilling oil and roping cattle. Tomorrow, I’ll be fighting Injuns. |

Outsiders already think of us that way. That’s why they are all piling on. They hate having their arses kicked by a bunch of illiterate racist hicks.

As the club discussed its advance scouting plans ahead of the playoffs, the executive asked the team’s scouts to pursue sign stealing from the stands, and suggested cameras could be used to do so.
“One thing in specific we are looking for is picking up signs coming out of the dugout,” the email’s sender wrote in a message from August of 2017. “What we are looking for is how much we can see, how we would log things, if we need cameras/binoculars, etc. So go to game, see what you can (or can’t) do and report back your findings.”

^ But this is just a big conspiracy to hate the Astros because we keep beating the Yankees. glad you figured it out. Considering... (1) Ubiquitous tactics have in the past, present, and future been utilized to give one team an advantage over another, in varying degrees and forms. And now it is a big deal? (2) If this COB investigation blows up futher, and really truly investigative tactics are employed? The whole f'n game will be implicated and complicit. Owners, management, and players. (3) Add the faux outrage internally, and the media frenizied external fan outrage...... , then add a players strike, then add a game where afterwards you will lucky to put 10,000 in the stands, and gear is burned?  |
