Dodger fans are butthurt over WS title. And Red Sox fandom is concerned for Cora's future -- nm - budice Jan 14, 09:11
Krusty! It's happening, finally! -- nm - colin Jan 14, 08:53 1

Sidenote: Judge deleted off IG and Twitter the pics of him congratulating Altuve for winning the MVP -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 14, 08:27
I love this. The Astros were dirty from the minute Lunhow got there. Cardinals got clipped for it... - Turd Ferguson Jan 14, 08:22
I think the offense is way way way worse than Pete Rose. Who you pin it on, I don't know, but the result is far worse. - Volnelk Jan 14, 08:21 9
- I agree completely! This wasn't close to as harsh as they were saying. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 08:25 7
  - Players needed to be suspended - eag Jan 14, 08:29 6
    - Fans need refunds -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:31 3
      - the 2016 presidential election polls in MI, WI, PA and OH need to be done over, without interference. -- nm - mud Jan 14, 08:37 2

    - The commish gave them all immunity which I'm pretty sure wasn't necessary to get the info he wanted -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 08:30 1
      - There was enough video and audio evidence - eag Jan 14, 08:35
- 1,000% -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:23
Burn. The league. Down. - Spawn Jan 14, 08:10 5
- That seems a bit extreme - JD Jan 14, 08:13 4
  - Some people just want to see the world burn. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:15
  - But seriously, this is less than a slap on the wrist. If I am another team, I plan to cheat going forward. Because you know all the other teams will. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:15 2
    - It's an interesting point that is counter to what the league suggests will happen. - Volnelk Jan 14, 08:23 1
      - $5M, such a small price to pay for a championship. -- nm - Spawn Jan 14, 08:24
This echoed what I heard this morning. Owner of the franchise saw team value increase $400M for winning a WS. $5M fine? Sure. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 14, 08:02 4
- That's a fault of the rules of MLB as they did all they could as $5 Million is the maximum fine -- nm - JD Jan 14, 08:14 2
  - yep. The commish can't fine more than that. That needs to change. -- nm - Diva Jan 14, 08:15 1
    - I’m sure the owners will get right on that. -- nm - spamlet Jan 14, 08:54
- $5M? I am sure we can find that in our couch! -- nm - Yankees Jan 14, 08:11
