WHAT!?! FBI Investigating the Cardinals.

[sneakypower]

The story goes on to state that the “hack” was fairly low-tech, as these things go; it appears that someone with access to the password histories used by Luhnow (and those who followed him to St. Louis) were simply used to gain access to the Astros systems. Unfortunately for the “hackers”, they used a computer at a home that was easily tied to the Cardinals — perhaps a home rented out for Spring Training — and the trail was simply followed from there. This does not exactly seem like the work of criminal masterminds.

so Gilfoyle works for the Cardinals

So any report of them doing anything malicious or simply seeing if Luhnow was as stupid as to not change his password?

I hope we drafted well this year, because I think we will be short a few draft picks in the near future.

I can't imagine Mo authorizing anything with regards to accessing the Astro's via the "these old password might work" method.

I feel like he's a little smarter than that.

Well, they posted those documents online, presumably.

This is exactly where my mind went. You know, your brother leaves for college with his new laptop. But he left his old desktop pc in his old room, which is now your room. So you want to check the nets to see if he changed his Brazzers password. Just like that.
