1. Credit to /u/Soyeahnahh from NFL subreddit [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/nfl/comments/18tczqx/thomas_carrieri_pounding_on_that_trash_can_i/) since I couldn’t figure out how to crosspost

2. Fuck the Astros (nothing against the fans)

3. Mods took the last one down, leave it up pls ty. Fuck the Astros.

4. inb4 this thread gets locked because saying ‘*Astros cheated in 2017*’ is a bannable offense.

5. 🙄

   Edit: I see we’re still not done beating this dead horse six years later, my mistake.

6. Al’s still got it.

7. [deleted]

8. This is the Astros legacy

9. I’d rather literally anything else on this sub for content instead of athletes from other sports making overused baseball jokes.

10. On a NFL broadcast, fucking legend.

11. This is the only way people can express how pissed they are at Manfred for his decision to validate that title. If he simply said there was no WS winner in 2017, this would stop, but the fans deserve their justice and this is the only way to get it.

12. Manfred can’t stop the entirety of the American sports community from shitting on the Astros relentlessly.

    I’m fine with the Astros keeping their 2017 title all I ask is that record book has a footnote quoting the commissioner’s report stating that the Astros used rule breaking technology during the World Series.

13. It came out of nowhere. loved it

14. Think big

15. When you think “banging on a trash can to cheat” you think “Astros”

16. [Fax Sports had a great made up joke response: We made the playoffs this year … Al won’t.](https://x.com/mlbonfax/status/1740584669790568864?s=61&t=g2BkhdMHl4w7u3r3LXNx4A)

21. Astros fans will claim that everybody was cheating or say that people are just jealous of them but regardless they will be thought of a cheaters for a very long time, it might be time for them to accept it.

22. I always knew Al was fucking based

23. Al still got some life in him I’ll give him that much credit.

24. Rent free, even during Football season 😂

25. So what play did they run?

26. Gotta love Al Michaels.

27. Al Michaels probably had five figures on the Dodgers.

28. Perpetually in 2017

29. Cheating trash. The title should never have been awarded to those cheaters that year.
