Pete should go into the Hall of Fame. As a great baseball person reminded me, he was given a lifetime suspension. So he has satisfied the terms of his ban.

The Rays did quite a service for baseball. The Astros can be back in the World Series. But not this year. Not the year their trash can scandal was uncovered. Not with a losing regular-year record. So thank you TB Rays.

Won’t argue against Ortiz, who is great and as clutch as anyone who ever played. But it’s a bit odd that he made it on the first ballot while Bonds and Clemens didn’t make it in 10.

Happy Bobby Bonilla Day. Bonilla receives his 9th payment of $1,119,248.20 today from the Mets. He will receive 16 more annually on July 1, thru 2035. The 25 payments were to settle a $5.9M debt in 2000.

If it makes anyone feel better, there’s no doubt Astros players are suffering for their shenanigans. Some of them seem sad; with others it feels like they’ve lost their edge. Prediction: It’s going to be a long season and they will very likely underperform.

Terrible umpire has lucrative job for life, and complains it isn’t good enough. Cheers to the judge who made the right call here.

News is encouraging on A’s ace Chris Bassitt. After being hit in the face with a liner last night he sustained a fractured cheekbone and maxilla (upper jawbone). Surgery will be in 3-5 days after swelling subsides. All other scans are clean. Most vitally: Vision is 20-20.

Astros ambushed Chris Sale in ‘17 playoffs. They won all the home games against Yankees. Maybe Correa can rationalize the WS win, but if they cheated in previous playoff series, you don’t get a free pass for playing fair in WS. Assuming they played fair, which may be a reach.
