By now, I'm sure all baseball fans have hear about the Astros' pitching scandal, wherein in their championship 2017 run they were stealing signs. Now, in and of itself, that's on who they play against...nominally. AFAIK, teams are NOT allowed to use electronic means to steal signs, which the Astros...did, according to Mike Fiers, who played for the Astros that year. Yu Darvish of the Dodgers that year, and was widely reviled on social for his two terrible performances. Well, now he's getting some Twitter apologies as folks are starting to realize that he may have been playing against a stacked deck so to speak, with the Astros stealing the signs and relaying them to the hitter. www.foxnews.com/sports/yu-darvish-apologies-astros-cheating-allegations-surface

Well, IMO the right team won. But both I think are going to be dismantled enough at least to not come back. Nats will probably lose Rendon and Strasburg, and the Astros will almost certainly lose Cole. Big question in my mind is who will get them. I of course kind of root for the Angels to get them all, but it's not going to happen. One maybe, but not all.

...Annnnd the Colin Kaepernick saga drags on...and on...and on... www.yahoo.com/sports/brian-flores-says-dolphins-will-be-at-colin-kaepernicks-workout-170443134.htmlWell, like some of the comments say, he was a below average quarterback BEFORE he had the nearly three year layoff, what's he going to be like now? His problems as a QB as I saw them. He couldn't operate under center. He couldn't read defenses quickly. He couldn't release the ball quickly; hell, I'll got farther, he was slow. And though he had a cannon of an arm, he couldn't hit the broadside of a football stadium. Add all that up with the fact that he's 32, a disruptive influence on any team, and why would anyone want him?
