At least Philly fans are known for being forgiving.

Zack Fox is also a better rapper than like 80% of the shit that gets put out nowadays. His album was legit good.

I need Quinta to add Zack as a main character and not just a recurring character 😭

I need to take my kids to school. I'll give you the last word.

No, you're in denial of facts. Not of one man's opinion.

I'm not defending the Torre Dynasty. Quite the opposite. Nothing from that era should be spared criticism or the mentioning of PEDs. The only thing I'll defend is Ken Griffey, Jr. because if he took PEDs, they didn't work on that skinny frame of his.

I'll take your word for it. I remember him as a player. One of the game's greatest characters. I just don't remember reading what was said about him when he died.

He wasn't blackballed, just not very highly thought of. He makes Jim Bowden look like a smart baseball mind. Manfred and Silver are paid by the owners. It should matter that that's where their loyalties lie, because otherwise they'd be out of a job. Admitting your sport is corrupt is a deathknell.

If I was frustrated I wouldn't be engaging with 4 people simultaneously, 3 of whom chose to start the conversations--not me. I don't want Astros fans to deny they cheated. That's irrelevant since the players admitted/apologized for it. I don't expect them to admit it's illegitimate. Even tho it is.

I didn't notice how beloved Gaylord Perry was when he passed. I was probably busy that day. But I doubt the day a guy dies is when people want to mention they cheated. That stuff is usually reserved for obituaries and after unwritten moratoriums.

The Torre dynasty isn't specifically stained by PEDs, because all of baseball is. I watched Eric Gagne have the single greatest season ever by a closer but he cheated so I don't consider it legit. I would think more people than not consider Bonds record(s) tainted.

How many baseball jobs has David Samson had since? Rob Manfred has a brand to protect. Just like Adam Silver does with the Kawhi scandal. That's where their loyalty lies. If the Astros have nothing to apologize for then why did so many Astros apologize?

I don’t care what Astros fans think of the 2017 World Series. Of course they’re in denial. I started engaging with an Astros fan who seemed unaware that Clayton Kershaw dominated the Astros in Game 1 of the 2017 World Series. I didn’t realize all of you were as delusional. My mistake.
