The ridiculous thing is the Astros didn't need to cheat; they were front loaded with wicked good players.

I was in the shun mode, and was planning to avid watching them entirely. That is, until they hired 'Mr. Ethics', Dusty Baker to come out of retirement to coach. If anyone can rehabilitate the reputation of a ball club, it would be Dusty Baker.

I think Baker came out of retirement, partly because the Astros has a whole bunch of talent, and he has a reasonable chance of grabbing the brass ring; something he would really wants before he kicks back on the front porch to watch his son play ball on the television.
