Weekend Bird Droppings: Yusniel Diaz is back, folks

Here’s the deal. I’m not going to judge anyone for who they root for in the playoffs at this point. It’s a tough dilemma in which we all find ourselves. But I will admit that I am personally pulling for the Astros in the ALCS. Yeah, they cheated. It was awful. I agree. But the thing is that they still aren’t the Red Sox.

Plus, I can also tell myself that the Red Sox also cheated, and they employ (after originally firing to save face) the guy that was one of the ring-leaders of the Astros cheating. At least Houston fired some people and kept it that way.

It’s all grimy if you look too far beneath the surface. That’s true of most…
