Houston's GM & Mgr both suspended by MLB while Cora was the mastermind as the bench coach while there.

Houston has fired their GM & Mgr after they rec'd lengthy suspensions (1 yr) rendering them useless to the Astros and embarrassing enough to ownership to terminate their employment.

With Cora being the main culprit in Houston and bringing his success to the Red Sox, you can expect MLB will give Cora an even longer suspension than the Houston hierarchy got especially considering the Sox had been warned that their next (already involved in 2 stealing signs controversies) violation would cost them dearly.

Houston also lost 1st & 2nd round draft picks and were charged a $5MM fine. The Sox could be in for much MOAR than that and with Houston terminating their GM & Mgr you can bet the Sox will do the same.

This is only getting started!

Cheating is, of course, wrong. No excuse can be made. The titles cannot be vacated, however, since the evidence shows there was NO cheating in the playoffs or WS. Again, not that it matters. Personally, I think they would have won without any cheating. Just like I feel Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens would have been in the HOF with or without steroids.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought, cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives!!
