1. As you most likely now by now, Astros owner Jim Crane, second baseman Jose Altuve and shortstop Alex Bregman offered up meaningless apologies this morning for their involvement in the "bang the garbage can" cheating scandal.
Crane insulted everyone by saying his team cheated but it didn't help and Altuve and Bregman read prepared statements like robots for about 30 seconds.
I don't necessarily blame Altuve and Bregman for this. They clearly didn't want to apologize and it's stupid to force people into apologizing for things they are not sorry for.
