I love Wrigley Field and the Chicago Cubs, but not as much as I loathe domestic violence. I have no time nor money for those who torment women physically and psychologically. None. Period. Cross that line, and I am done with you. I don’t know what else to do with my dissatisfaction for domestic violence perpetrators. […]
Cubs shortstop Addison Russell does not deserve a second chance. Second chances are for those who make mistakes, and Russell did not make a mistake. He physically and psychologically tormented two women. Domestic violence is not a mistake – it’s a societal pox. Again and again on social media, people excoriate those who are critical […]
Addison Russell terrorized at least two women, and so he was suspended for 40 games. That suspension will end later this week, and he will be eligible to return to the Chicago Cubs. Fans are split on Russell’s return. Some want him to be welcomed back because “everyone deserves a second chance.” Others believe that […]
My disdain for the owner of the Chicago Cubs is pretty well chronicled – and well-founded.

Here’s what Joseph posted on his Instagram […]

Putting MLB rules czar Joe Torre in charge of enhancing baseball fans’ experience watching the game is like putting a plumber in control of the design of a toilet seat. Only users need to be consulted when changes are made for the benefit of the users. Baseball is going to tinker at the low-minor league […]
It makes all the sense in the world for these World Champions to jack up prices for season tickets, but it still seems wrong. There is great demand, and even from the scattershot listening I did during macroeconomics while a student at Indiana University, I understand that increased demand requires a response in pricing. But the […]
