I wanted to break from normal protocol over here and talk about something non-Dodger Baseball related. Obviously there is no Dodger Baseball or any baseball for the foreseeable future. All sports, baseball, NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS are all suspended indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some things are bigger than

Bang! There's another one. Bang! Bang! The Houston Astros took cheating to unimaginable heights during the 2017, and 2018 seasons. The club’s organizational scheme cheated the Dodgers out of a World Series championship. The franchise is publicly shamed, and ostracized across the internet on an almost hourly basis. They cheated,
