One of the comments:  :hysterical: :hysterical:

Ask any person in St. Louis to define “the Cardinal Way,” and they will tell you that it’s a style of hacking that both pays homage to and respects the fundamentals of breaching computer security dating back to when the opposing team began digitally storing scouting reports within data networks in 1994. The style of hacking is described in phrases like “password cracking” and “brute force attacks.”
For any player scouted by opposing teams, the Cardinal Way is an 86 page handbook that outlines exploitation of each teams databases in areas ranging from vulnerability scanners to packet analyzers, spoofing attacks and computer worms, as well as the manner in which the Cardinals cyber scouts should conduct themselves on “the ‘Net.”
From a business standpoint, the handbook defines the organizational philosophy, a philosophy that places a greater emphasis on misappropriating digital scouting records and player transaction information from opposing teams than on generating home grown data from within the Cardinals organization. It’s the Cardinal Way.

Deadspin had part of the hack about a year ago. Of interest to Nats: (1) Astros asked for Giolito and Rizzo said "he'd have to get back to them". He didn't. (2) Astros asked for Nate Karns. Rizzo refused. (3) Remote: Billy Beane offered Brad Peacock as part of a trade. We know that happened.

Mostly interesting to see how baseball works. Does not sound much different from the way Clark "The Old Fox" Griffith operated, except that Griff had fewer major league teams and more fully independent minor league teams. All by phone. No computer to track the players, but Griff seems to have done that in his head, just like Connie Mack, until money and farm systems pushed out most of the old-time owners.

I heard it was the assistant equipment manager. He went into the men's room near the Astros office and stuck a USB flash drive into a laptop port to deflate download the content.

The Cards are almost certainly going to handle this scandal by finding a patsy—THE BALLBOY. They’ll identify him as a rogue agent (“What was he doing taking that laptop into the crapter?!”), and then throw him under the bus, which I assume is some kind of tacky tour bus driven in from Branson.
I should write for Deadpsin (except I can't spell).

This is so illegal, I'm dying at the idea that the FBI is going to settle for a ball boy.  :hysterical: It's corporate espionage and sabotage and it's the FBI. If there's a ball boy he'll flip or face federal prison. And the FBI will be highly motivated to flip him.

Doesn't it depend on how MLB is organized under the law, anti-trust, etc.?     Is it one large corporation with member clubs or are they separate corporate entities (as described in MLB's agreement with the teams)?     Is this corporate espionage or is it an illegal hack by using regulated networks or interstate problems?       I have too much free time.

What about the notion of proprietary information owned by any company and competitors can't steal proprietary information.

Cardinals give up walk-off solo-shot HR to Kennys Vargas in the bottom of the 9th in Minnesota. Karma. :twisted:

It seems to be a closed monopoly of separate corporations. Yes, there was the sentimental ruling that professional baseball is "the national pastime" rather than a business, but that was in the 1920s. I think the absolute answer comes from several other decisions:

- Free agency in the 1970s
- Ultimate decision about 1990 that teams had conspired to restrict the free movement of players
- Activity of the teams: selling and trading players to each other; the draft...

Don't see any bitterness. Just see that the Cardinals have been exposed.
