Yankees: Alex Cora’s response to Astros boos is accurate but frustrating

Before Alex Cora was the cheating manager of the Boston Red Sox, he was standing in the Yankees’ path as the cheating bench coach of the Houston Astros.

For one extremely successful man, he sure has done a lot of cheating. At least, though, he faced significant repercussions, losing his job as Boston’s manager in the wake of revelations about his behavior in Houston.

Oh, sorry, read that wrong. Smudge on the paper.

After 60 games worth of tanking by the Red Sox, he was immediately hired back after the team accrued a high draft pick and forced veteran manager Ron Roenicke to lose a bunch of games before being sacrificed.
