    Photo of Josh Reddick making the rounds on the internet tonight.

    Whats that on his chest? Nothing, according to MLB.

    His wife says it is confetti. But, what about the thing that looks like a wire?

    The plot thickens. Lol.

    Take away all titles (MVP, world series, etc.) and suspend the cheating players for at least 1 year. Such B.S. the players are exempt.

    I was watching an interview Ken Rosenthal did with Altuve, and Rosenthal asked Altuve why he didn't want his teammates to rip his jersey off, and Altuve said, "I'm just shy, the last time they did that I got in trouble with my wife." Or could it be, that there was a big, fat, juicy buzzer under your jersey, and you didn't want us to see it?

    Just watched a video of Alex Bregman fumble through a media scrum at today’s Astros Winterfest event...it is going take a long time before the stink will goes away for the Astros players. It would be nice if they at least acknowledge that it was wrong and also to apologize to their fans.

    They should talk to Braun and see how long it takes to go away....he still gets booed when he comes to Wrigley.

  • As a Red Sox fan most all of my life, I can honestly say that everyone that I personally know that's part of the Nation is super pissed with Cora more than anyone else. We all loved him, we trusted him, "He's the guy man, he's the one!" we used to say. I mean, we were sure he'd be the clubs Mgr. for years to come and then this (expletive) happens!! Nowadays it's, "He brought this (expletive) here, that dirty mutha(expletive)r!" I still can't believe it, I was completely stunned, but I want to know who else engaged in it. It's easy to just generalize and say that since Cora was the "Mastermind" over in the Astros camp and then the Mgr. of the Sox, "Well, the whole team had to have done it then". I wish it were that easy, but I won't burn anyone at the stake without solid proof. It'll come to light soon, real soon and when it does, they'll feel the burn at Fenway. New England fans are completely unhinged and won't balk at hi talking to a player. Ask Judge and Stanton, hahaha, mutha(expletive)ahs!

    I just read what Cody Bellinger said about the Astros a couple of days ago. He ripped into them pretty good. He called their apologies "weak", and said Jose Altuve stole the MVP from Aaron Judge in 2017. He also said about the Jose Altuve buzzer accusations "I don't know what human being hits a walk off home run against Aroldis Chapman to send your team to the World Series, and one, has the thought to say "don't rip my jersey off", but two, run into the tunnel, change your shirt, then come out to do your interview." "That makes no sense to me", Bellinger said.

    "I have never stolen signs, period. I do not know how to say it any more clearly than that. The allegations in Mr. Fiers' book are completely false"

    I really enjoyed watching the interview with one of the Astros trash cans, although I don't think the trash can was being completely truthful.

    LOL. People are having a field day right now with the Astros. I was looking at some of the jokes yesterday, and was amazed at some of the stuff people are coming up with. The buzzer, the trash cans, the cameras. The Astros are getting roasted pretty good.
