DIRTY RED SOX SKATE & CLOWN CORA DOES TOO

Are we surprised? I'm not.

Last week we shared STEVE PEARCE MOCKS RED SOX CHEATING INVESTIGATION AS "A JOKE" and we called for Rob Manfred to get off of his lazy butt and release the report on the Red Sox. He said it was done and he was just holding onto it. Well....we finally got it.

MLB has released it's findings HERE but here is an excerpt:

So Steve Pearce mocked the investigation and called it a joke, but obviously it wasn't. Sure, players were not involved like the cheating Asstros in 2017, and yes, this was not a player driven scheme. But dirty disgraced Alex Cora didn't even have involvement in this according to Manfred? I find this hard to believe.

But guess what, Pearce? It wasn't a joke because your team cheated long before you ever put on the Red Sox uniform. You may not have cheated, but the team you played on, still cheated and they did it after getting in trouble the previous year!

The Red Sox have a culture problem. In 2017 the Red Sox got busted for using Apple smartwatches to relay decoded signs from the team video room to the dugout.

Anyone wanna take a guess on who was involved with that? The SAME guy involved in this incident a.k.a J.T. Watkins. It's acknowledged in Manfred's report, find it for yourself if you don't believe me.

But this is why I am mad. The Red Sox cheated in 2017 and got caught. They told MLB they were "sorry" and they wouldn't do it again. Fast forward to 2018 where they cheat yet again so what is the punishment?

That's it? First, J.T Watkins should be fired and not allowed to work for MLB, period. He should not be suspended and then not be allowed to return in the same capacity. That does nothing, we see how much integrity this guy doesn't have. A draft pick is nothing for the Red Sox.

They have a cheating culture and John Henry should be ashamed of the culture that he inevitably is responsible for. Alex Cora should just be banned even if he had no involvement in this, but that's my personal opinion. Rob Manfred once again does not PUNISH the Red Sox for this.

Manfred's failure to be a strong leader continues.

Where is the accountability? The Red Sox cheated two years in a row. Baseball's integrity is gone, and our commissioner doesn't care. He's a clown and a disgrace and it's time to just #FIREMANFRED!

That's where I stand anyway. Manfred is a clown, a digrace and a failure. Baseball needs a strong leader and we need the integrity of the game restored.

That won't happen while he is in charge so.... just #FIREMANFRED!
