What Do We Learn From The Astros, Luhnow, Hinch

Say it ain't so, Joe...Not since the days of the Black Sox scandal and Shoeless Joe Jackson (below) has baseball come down on an organization in the manner of what it did to the Houston Astros on Monday...for cheating to steal signs. And in light of that, are your eyes opened now as to the rest of the world of professional sports, technology...and integrity?

The Irony Of Parkway, Turned Motivation….

If there's a team in the area that you least want to play it might be the team you know the least about.  Call coach Doug Hughes and the Parkway Panthers what you want - good, spoilers, or just plain overlooked.  But on a given night they can beat anyone.
