Well that's different
I will wait for more info to come out.. but that is certainly unfortunate if true.
That's definitely interesting.
Somewhere Jerry Jones is going, "Wait, that can be done?"

Watching all of the latest reports as they happen via TV in the office, this story is actually pretty fascinating.
Question I ask, is how often does this happen on smaller scales...And could you imagine if it was the Patriots?

Legality aside, if the Cardinals were able to get in using a master list of passwords used by Luhnow while he was with the Cardinals, shame on Luhnow.

Well this certainly doesnt look good, especially considering they can link it directly to the house people lived in

This is pretty fascinating stuff. Thanks Domino on CNBC for more info.
Biggest sports scandal ever potentially....least since the Black Soxs? Seriously.
Can you imagine if it comes out that Houston had discussions with Atlanta, Jason Heyward's name came up out of nowhere, and St. Louis acted on the fact that it suddenly knew he might be available?

Who knows. Need for the full investigation to come out before I decide. Either way it isn't good

Ya think so? I wont go that far. I think its a new age type of scandal for sure.
Im hoping its all being blown up by the "media" because St Louis has such a great fan base, but there is at least a bit of fire, with all of this smoke.

Not saying this is you, but I find it hilarious the same people that say "lets wait and see what comes out of this" are the same people that immediately got out their pitchforks on the Patriots. Not directing this at you Taylor.
No I get it. Honestly I think they are probably guilty, just wondering how guilty, who did it, etc.

Said potentially, just depends on what kind of information was discovered, not just on the Astros but potentially every team they have talked to about players, drafts, etc. that then played a role in a player the Cardinals acquired or a move they made. But with that being said, with the FBI involved, it's going to be very hard to have anything swept under the rug now.

I would say that anytime the govt is involved, they can get stuff swept under the rug (see IRS)...hehe
I believe we are seeing the modern warfare of sports. I also believe that despite the information available, it would not be anywhere near as problematic as performance enhancing drugs were viewed as because it impacted so many other aspects.
But this should be dealt with swiftly.
The part that's weird is it's the Cardinals hacking the Astros. It's like the Patriots hacking the Buccaneers or the US hacking Nicaragua. I realize the Astros are doing well this season but still...

The Astros GM came from St Louis. Sounds like it's more personal than anything else.
I know the Cardinals are mired in controversy, but they continue to win. Another one today bringing them 22 games over .500
I believe the tie is the old GM or president that went from the Cards to the Astros and apparently not on good terms but might be wrong.
100% correct.
