Any one else get a little feeling that the baseball players see a possibility to get paid and not have to stress their bodies for a year and are putting a little extra in that agreement? Seems like maybe they're seeing other sports get cancelled and don't want to be the only ones playing when everyone else is getting paid for not playing... #socialistmindset

I question your understanding of socialism (and capitalism and honestly all economics and all 'isms') if you think a bunch of rednecks from florida/texas/cali (aka all the American players) and a bunch of guys from central/south America all of whom have 8 figure bank accounts want to just take the season off. Go back to your flat earth and qanon conspiracies.

4. 2017 Astros

Leitch: Well, you definitely didn't need to pick the Cubs that early, because this Cardinals fan knows, unlike most others, that the 2016 World Series never happened and didn't count and was a collective illusion and therefore DOES NOT COUNT for this list. Thus: Forgive them or not, this Astros team was incredible, and if you're looking for an argument as to why maybe its success was not entirely because of sign-stealing, how about the fact that Houston was probably even better in 2018 and '19. Nevermind how good they were everywhere else: How about the fact that they even had peak Carlos Correa, the one we haven't really seen since? It's OK to admit the Astros were sort of likable back then, yes? OK, maybe we can't admit that. But it was true. You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Back in 2017, this team was actually full of heroes. I'm going to pretend that's the team we're talking about.
