I find it funny how so many people voiced their opinions about the Astros cheating scandal, but are dead silent about the Yankees cheating scandal.

Yankees were punished. Astros were more bold and brazen with their actions so yeah they are getting killed. And they won so that adds to it.

How were they punished? As far as I can tell, they were only fined $100K...unless I missed something else.

Besides, I think my point was missed. Here's a guy saying, "I found the Astros punishment to be really weak" but is absolutely silent when his own team gets caught. Do you not see the irony?

Dave,

The more correct term you're looking for isn't irony, its hypocrisy!

While both situations were against the rules, the Astros cheated after the Commissioners memo warning teams there would be severe punishment for electronic sign stealing. They were warned but did it any way, thats why the team, GM and manager were punished more harshly.
