Dodgers Attempt to Use Supreme Court to Reverse Astros 2017 World Series Win
I can’t keep up with the news. Now California is suing Texas in an effort to change the winner of the 2017 World Series. The Golden State has asked the Supreme Court to use its power of “original jurisdiction” to review “massive fraud and irregularities” in the contest won by the Houston Astros over the Los Angeles Dodgers in 7 games.
California points to a number of fraud red flags including:
– why was this the first time the Astros ever won a World Series, in fact why was it the first time ANY Texas team won a World Series?
– why was this the first World Series where home field advantage was determined by the pennant winner’s regular season record?
– why are beer vendors now coming forward saying they were paid to steal signs and communicate the information to the Astros with a secret code system of changing how many beers they held up? Why do the vendors say THEY were used so team management could deny direct involvement, a charge that would ruin the team after past sign-stealing scandals?
– how is it possible that the Dodgers were dominating the league until the latter part of the season when their losses mounted? Are the rumors true that Astros “associates” put some Texas Tea in the Dodger’s Gatorade?
– how did the Astros know to trade for pitcher Justin Verlander from the Tigers seconds before the deadline at midnight on the last day of August? Was there a mole in the Tigers clubhouse?
– why did many players comment that the World Series baseballs were “slicker” that those used in the regular season? Was George Springer of the Astros using hair gel on his mohawk and wiping it on the ball?
– Why did game 5 last so long, the second longest game in World Series history? Did monied Texas fans pay off officials with delicious Texas BBQ to slow the game down?
– Why did Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish tip his pitches by holding up signs such as “This one is going to be my cutter” and “Fastball Express leaving the station.”
Other MLB teams around the country responded negatively to California’s court action, calling their list of claims “dubious” and “far-fetched.” One manager said, “The Dodgers have no standing and its embarrassing that California is undermining the great game of baseball by attempting to use the Supreme Court to overcome a devastating loss instead of focusing on winning the next time like a real American.”
