I Saw the Sign

Another Major League Baseball scandal has opened up our eyes to see what it takes to be Champions.  In their attempt to become Ace of the Bases, the Houston Astros were caught stealing.  At First, they used cameras to decode the signals.  Rounding second, they used trash cans to signal what pitch was coming.  Heading to third, they coordinated all this in order to gain an illegal competitive advantage.  Finally, sent home is where 3 managers and 1 general manager ended up.  These guys clearly were taking notes from the Patriots on using video to push the limits of legal research.  Did the Astros' cheating contribute to their eventual World Series Championship?  Probably...  but how would you prove that?  You cant clearly prove it was the reason for them winning.  (They had some pretty good players).  Its gonna be a Cruel, Cruel summer for the Astros, Red Sox, and Mets since they told their managers to take a walk, and Don't Turn Around.  Baseball is a cruel mistress.  She'll bring you to the top, steal your bases, and break your heart in October.  All That She Wants is another winner and the season is gone tomorrow.  Baseball has taught us many lessons in the over the years.  If you want to make more money in baseball.  Gamble on your play or throw games.  If you want to be the best player.  Do steroids.  If you want to win the World Series.  Cheat.  Thank you baseball for teaching us great life lessons.  Glad to see our national pass time keeps hitting ethical home runs.
