What the media won’t tell you about true motivations behind negative Astros coverage
PRESENTED BY COORS LIGHT

This week, LA Times writer Bill Plaschke wrote an Astros hit piece, blaming the team for the Dodgers only having one championship since 1988, that didn't come with a COVID-shorted season. Meaning, the insecurity of Dodger fans regarding the 2020 championship is driving so much of the hate for Houston. And he's not the only one, media outlets from across the country are taking shots at the Astros knowing that bagging on the team for 2017 still drives traffic to websites.
And what's crazy is we have Yankee fans, like Stephen A. Smith, coming out and saying stop talking about the cheating, the Astros swept the Yankees and are clearly a better team. But somehow Dodger fans feel differently. It might have something to do with not having to get through the Astros to make the league championship series each year.
Be sure to check out the video above as we shoot down these tired and often factually incorrect swipes at our beloved Houston Astros. The hypocrisy that is being spewed can't go unchecked.

Jalen Green scored 34 points, Alperen Sengun had 20 points, nine rebounds and eight assists and the Houston Rockets beat the short-handed Denver Nuggets 128-108 on Wednesday night.
Green, who hit six 3-pointers, continued his recent scoring surge. He is averaging 32 points in Houston's last six games, including a career-best 42 points against Memphis on Monday.
Fred VanVleet added 16 points, eight assists and three steals for the Rockets, who beat Denver for the fifth time in six meetings.
The Nuggets were without two of their five leading scorers in reigning league MVP Nikola Jokic (right elbow inflammation) and Aaron Gordon (right calf injury).
Jamal Murray and Christian Braun each scored 22 point for Denver, which had 18 turnovers in the loss, including five apiece from its starting backcourt of Murray and Russell Westbrook.
