"The White Zone is for loading and unloading only. If you got to load or unload go to the White Zone!"
The Twins promised acquisition of an impact pitcher has faded...just like every other fucking year.

It’ll be four. Expect Donaldson to give the Braves a final offer chance. The word is he wants to stay in Atlanta, and Atlanta might be betting that the final year on that contract can be spent splitting time at DH.
The Braves have a window. They need to be aggressive while that window is open. If they don’t get Donaldson back, they’re going to have to go after a bat via trade. If the rumors hold any weight, that could mean bringing Arenado to Atlanta, and that is certainly appealing to this Braves fan.
I want to dynamite your mind with love tonight.
RIP Don Larsen at 90.
I saw him pitch in Yankee Stadium ... at Old Timers' Day.

Astros should be stripped of their 2017 title! CHEATERS!
MLB didn't pull any punches. Goodell would have dragged this out for months and then blown it.

Yet, these jackasses are suspended for a year but Pete Rose is banned...
As much as I never liked Pete Rose, I respect his accomplishments. And, it certainly doesn't seem fair. But, he did break the Cardinal Rule of the game and did so knowingly. He asked for it. And he didn't help his case by being such a buffoon about it in the aftermath.
It would be nice to see the Astros' title stripped, but I don't see that happening. Maybe an asterisk, though.

Next in line, the Boston Red Sox.

Cora's replacement (assuming he gets suspended and then possibly whacked)?
Pedroia
Varitek
Papi
MANNY
I predict that, if he gets suspended, he won't get whacked.

I saw on Twitter someone suggesting that the Dodgers should stage a victory parade.

First, can people temper their langauge? - whacked used as a verb can mean murdered.
Second, FSG are, in some ways, an odd organisation. For the most part, they conduct themselves well, both in respect of building clubs that are successful, but also in doing things "the right way" (the development of Anfield, the engagement of local communities, the investment in youth - all suggest a decent ethos). But then, some of their behaviour is way off key (how they dealt with Francona, for instance). I really rated Cora, for any number of reasons - but given the content of the report, there's no way he has a place in the future of the Red Sox. He has serially connived with - & possibly even instituted - activities that are outlawed by the game, & he has clearly done so knowingly. I hope FSG behave with honour & dignity in all of this, & do the right thing.
At the same time, a lot of responsibility now falls on Bloom to sort out the culture in the organisation. It's clear that the Astros had become a corrupt, win at any costs, organisation. There's a real opportunity for the Red Sox to recalibrate, & commit to doing things the right way.
