It's all bullshit!!!!!

This honestly hilarious, the dude was using the same passwords with th Astros as he did with the Cardinals. Thats hardly "hacking" but yeah it still shouldnt have happened. Ill be curious to see what comes from this

 

[zelezo vlk]

Considering this is the MLB, they probably just guessed the password. I'm thinking it was password. Maybe 1234.

Why would you want to hack the Astros....?

When I read the title I was praying it wasn't some FIFA-esque corruption. Glad that it's only hacking? Quite bizarre story.

You have to be kidding me, doesn't the FBI have better things to do with their time?

For real, I can think of a few higher priorities they should have... Like investigating the Astros and Rangers... or making sure the Angels get another big bat... or kicking Sony Gray out of baseball...

Report -- FBI investigating St. Louis Cardinals for hacking Houston Astros' database

Clever move by the White House announcing this major crime action by a federal agency. A clear message that hacking will not be tolerated, thus deflecting the news cycle to a more significant event than the Office of Personnel Management, et al, year long hack by the Chinese of employee records, military info, and intel. J. Edgar would be proud.

On the other hand could it be the Chinese looking to become a world power in baseball and diabolically pinning the blame on America's team with some misdirection?


Is #16 a double agent?

Satan: How come you always want to make love to me from behind? Is it because you want to pretend I'm someone else?

Jeff Luhnow (Astro's GM) was with the Cards for almost a decade and stocked their organization with talent.

From 2005 to 2007, the first three Cardinals drafts overseen by Luhnow produced 24 future major leaguers, the most of any team during that period.

(found this when I was looking him up)

Since he has been with Houston hes turned them around and are currently best team in AL (today's standings) with a bunch of young talent.

According to Baseball America, the Astro's had top 10 farm talent the last two years (2015 Organization Talent Rankings - BaseballAmerica.com. Still top 15 after some of those have made the Bigs.

I don't know if it's so much they wanted to hack the Astro's, more they wanted to hack Luhnow.

Satan: [reading "Saddam is From Mars, Satan is From Venus"] This book is really interesting. It explains how people communicate differently, like how I communicate by wanting you to ask me questions, and then you--
Saddam Hussein: Hey, that is interesting! Let's fuck!
Satan: [disgusted] Saddam! I'm trying to have a nice conversation with you!
Saddam Hussein: [pulls out a dildo from under the covers] Hey, Satan!
