It's missing Rayman, leaves up, oh, scattered on the lawn

It's funny, there was sort of an error of disappointment I think when the news came out

And to have been even more egregious and for another World Series team to be tainted further

Right? I mean, unless you think that they just didn't uncover what was happening

Or you think that Rob Manford went easy on the Red Sox even given what his findings were, I understand that

But it's kind of the best outcome is not, oh, we uncovered another Astros style operation here and less you

Or maybe an Astros fan who wants some other team to take the heat for a while, right?
