OT: MLB St. Louis Cardinals Hack Gate

PATSYLICIOUS said:

Hope it's true TBH. I know some St Louis Rams/therefore Cardinals fans who are always letting their butthurt feelings from SB36 linger and blast the Pats every chance they get. Nice to see how they react to their own team doing something worse.

Ooooooooooooo

Never thought of it that way.

Good call. Hopefully Marshall Faulk loves the Cardinals.

imagine if the cards get penalized less then the patriots for deflategate, the sports world might implode.

This is no big deal in terms of sports, they used old passwords to see if an old employee took cardinals systems to the Astros when he changed jobs. Big deal in terms of cyber crime but totally irrelevant to on the field. Either way no one will care it's not BB

"Insider" MLB officials have floated possible punishments for St. Louis
1) No soft serve cone service for stadium patrons after the seventh inning stretch
2) No "Mike and Molly" reruns on WSLC
3) Loss of 4th round draft pick in '16, '17, '18, or '19........team's choice
4) "Pet Night" cancelled

Don't forget banning "Yadier Molina Bobble-Head Night"

Yep, Goodell is back in full sheriff mode. He's putting the hammer down, I don't even think he would reduce the twenty dollar fine.

You aren't a serious are you? It's a huge deal. Trade valuations, internal scouting reports and who knows what else. At the very least it could effect the product on the field by having access to proprietary information about other players including this on other teams than the Astros.

@ProFootballTalk: If an NFL team was accused of hacking another team's computers, everyone would be losing their minds. Especially if it was the Patriots.

Let's see the coverage this gets...

You know , I wont be surprised if the media doesn write stories now about BB's connections for Larussa. And it may start with CHB and Volin.

Maddog Russo is calling for calm and they deserve respect because of how classy the Cardinals are. It's unfair to compares to Spygate. Lets waits for more information, which won't come out for a long, long time. So we'll talk about it then. <---more or less his words on MLB network.

Damn, if the Jets did that they would be so screwed. I can see Goodell hammering them with a twenty dollar fine and loss of a goddamn snack.

Nahhh. Snacks were only a BIG DEAL when Rexy was the coach.

Eh, let's not act like the cardinals can't put values on trades at least as well as the terrible Astros. It sounds real bad but I doubt it made any difference. Major reason this occurred was to see if the cardinals guy who went to Houston took the cardinals way of managing the data and their system which they did not want happening.

I went to the St. Louis Post Dispatch website and about 1 of every 3 or 4 comments references the Patriots.

This from the same guy who refused to read the Wells Report or the Context Report but is 100% sure the Patriots are guilty. No "wait and see" attitude with that situation.

What a total joke Russo is.

Who are these teams and what is this sport people are talking about in this thread?

It's always been amazing to me how the Cardinals have always managed to keep the stink of McGwire off of their franchise.

That and all those 20 year old 98-100 mph bullpen arms they seemingly call up every year.

You have it backwards, if they get sanctioned anywhere near as hard as the Patriots the ts world will implode......

What an absolute joke. Guy was tearing the Patriots apart a few weeks ago and then says he didn't read the report.

The friggin FBI is investigating them so there is something there. Whereas you got a hired attorney coming up with conclusions on stuff that was explained yet he chose to ignore.

It's wacky world. I beginning to think they are told what to ***** about by someone higher up. Who that is I don't know.

Watch Goodell try to weigh in hear and levy punishments against the Cardinals, confusing them with the old football team by that name.
