RE: Astros Debacle
RE: Astros Debacle
Ponder on this...
A driver is speeding his way on a secluded road through a forest. Suddenly, a tree starts to fall and he is able to get by it just before it crashes on the road.
So, was his life spared because he was speeding, or did the speeding get him a close call to getting crushed by a fallen tree. We will never know. Why? Because cause and effect are subjective.
In the same light, we will never know whether the Astros won the World Series because of this scandal or in spite of the scandal. So, I am not very upset about this. You decide on your own and try to avoid the mob syndrome. I mean, can you imagine the stress the players were under while worrying about getting caught? Just like a fugitive from the law, always looking around, worried about being followed, never able to relax. It seems like the stress would affect a player's at bat even more than just being in playoffs and World Series.
