The Houston Astros' mea culpa following their sign-stealing scandal has gone so poorly that even former cheaters are calling out the team's hollow apologies.

ESPN baseball commentator Alex Rodriguez, who was suspended for a full season in 2014 for taking steroids, says the Astros deserve all the jeers and boos they get this season.

"I think the one thing that has really upset the fans is you cheat, you win a championship, there is no suspension, and then there is no remorse," the former MVP said during a spring training broadcast of the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox exhibition Tuesday.
