Oh, look, the Astros are back in the World Series. Third time in five years, in fact. It’s like they were really good at baseball this entire time. Of course, this reality only makes the illegal sign-stealing (and trash cans) back in 2017 and 2018 all that more infuriating.
To make it clear to everyone who may read past the first paragraph, for the record, the Astros did cheat. They were caught, or, more accurately, ratted out. In the grand scheme, that distinction means little. While other clubs may have their own malfeasances to hide, it doesn’t excuse Houston’s actions.
