MLB suspends Astros GM and Manager for a year, yuge fine and takes away draft picks.

I've always had a soft spot for the Houston Astros, maybe because they've been the laughing stock of the league most of my life, but this is ridiculous. Major League Baseball has to step in and do something. There's now a precedent that a team can away with cheating with only a slap on the wrist.
