BREAKING: Houston Astros GM Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch have been suspended for one year after an MLB investigation found the team used technology to cheat during its World Series-winning 2017 season, sources familiar with the punishment tell ESPN.

Additionally, MLB will fine the Astros $5 million and take away their first- and second-round picks in the 2020 and 2021 drafts, sources tell ESPN.

More to come, surely . . .

I foresee Texas Rangers fans banging on trash cans whenever the Astros come visiting.

I'm SO done with professional sports outside of Rodeo and Golf.

It's only going to get worse with professional sports selling their souls to organized gambling.

IMHO it is no different than wrestling.  Good for laughs only.
