The Cardinals get hammered...

$2 million fine and the 56th and 75th picks. When you factor in the loss of the 19th pick due to Fowler - ouch.

Their minor league system is already thin and its about to get worse.

Meanwhile if you are an Astros fan, its a good day for you.

Yeah, I saw that. Cheating doesn't pay ....

Was this for the hacking deal? If I remember correctly the guy that was behind that got prison time.

And drafting Nkimdieche in the first round last year made it even worse**

I actually thought it would be even worse than this. Not to say it isn't bad enough as is.

Trust me, it's not just a good day for Astros fans.

MLB might have shown some compassion when they brought Matheny back. Kind of like when MSU hired Croom.

The Astros racked up.

They even get the $2 mil fine.
