HEY CORA! YOU'RE DESPERATE, DUMB-ASS!

When you're caged like a rat, you try and gnaw your way through the trap.  Thankfully, Cora's not going anywhere but down and out. He's a dunce.

I cannot believe this latest report. SNY had this:

"Following the Red Sox' beatdown by the Yankees in the inaugural London Series last year, Cora can be heard talking about then-Yankees special advisor Carlos Beltran, and he did so in an interesting way. Listen to his opening answer...



"I was joking with somebody that their biggest free agent acquisition was Carlos Beltran," Cora said with a wink. "I know how he works. He's helping a lot. They're paying attention to details and we have to clean our details."

Cora also mentions in the video that whatever he's alleging doesn't involve "devices," which is the telling remark. The scandal with the Astros and Red Sox deals with using a camera in center field to relay opponents' signs to a video replay room near the dugout. Beltran is mentioned in the report from MLB commissioner Rob Manfred following his discipline of former manager A.J. Hinch and GM Jeff Luhnow. "

Hmm. No devices? No video replay near the dugout?

3 Devices in the Astros tunnel here.

Oh... here's another device. You know, the one to send the signal of what pitch is coming to the batter. And let's not forget what happened when Astros president of business operations Reid Ryan moved the camera angle in the Astros park.

He claimed it was to get a better angle of advertising... but this is clearly bullshit and too much of a coincidence.

Yup, I believe Reid Ryan needs to be fired as well.  Anyway, the point to all of this is, with that angle, it's clear what the Astros and Alex Cora was doing.

So what's my point?

My point is this was all premeditated. Alex Cora knew what was going to happen and that's why it was planned out like it was. And yes,  Carlos Beltran knew exactly what he was doing too. They both knew how they were going to handle this sign-stealing operation and while Cora can try and suggest Beltran was the main guy in all of this, the reality is it's 2-fold.

One, both should be removed from baseball. And 2... only one coach and manager won a championship 2 years in a row. Alex Cora... once as a bench coach with the Astros in 2017 and once as a manager with the Red Sox in 2018.  And right now? Right now this tool is out of a job because he's literally a criminal.

Once Manfred's punishment comes down officially on Cora, I hope the guy is gone from baseball for a long, long time...literally banned. And dare I suggest that Carlos Beltran should go with him.

Mark Teixeira is all fired up about this and had this to say about Beltran. The New York Post writes:

"Mark Teixeira, who played with Beltran in the Bronx for three years, says the Mets need to dump Beltran just as the Red Sox canned Alex Cora and the Astros pink-slipped A.J. Hinch. 

'I don’t think the Mets have a choice, either. They have to fire Carlos Beltran,' Teixeira said on ESPN’s “Get Up!” on Wednesday. 'The only reason Beltran wasn’t punished as a bigger part of this was because of that immunity … it’s really a loophole for Carlos Beltran because he retired immediately after that World Series.'"

Teixeira is 100% correct. While Cora is 100% guilty, Beltran, much like Hinch needs to go.  If the Mets were smart, they would do what the Astros and Red Sox did as to clean up this game for the better.

The Mets and the Manfred investigation can claim that Beltran is cleared... but if you read everything about this story top to bottom, Beltran is right there with these morons.  And if you want to do the right thing, Manfred needs to remove Beltran too.

Bottom line? Desperation happens when cheaters get caught.  But punishment should also happen when it comes to bad dudes.  Cora? You're desperate right now... and running.

Beltran? You need to say bye[bye to your new gig.  You hang with the wrong dudes.
