Astros, Manfred boot the ball

When I first found out that the Houston Astros had reportedly cheated during the 2017 season, I was furious. Then when I found out that they had possibly cheated again in 2019, I was enraged. But, upon the conclusion of an MLB investigation, I reached my boiling point when MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred gave the Astros a mere slap on the wrist as punishment.

If former Astros pitcher Mike Fiers hadn’t spoken up, we would still be in the dark about the Astros’ dirty little secret. (Big Papi, you look very small calling him a snitch.)

We live in a time where some people try to get away with anything they can, whether it’s in sports, politics, or parents using illegal means to get their kids into college.
