The trash-talking between the players, MLB, and the owners have pushed the boundary. Yesterday Chicago Cubs fans, we crossed that boundary into the surreal.
This is out of control. For the past month, I and many others have written about this fratricidal argument going on in baseball: the accusations, the counter-accusations.
We Chicago Cubs fans have been witness to one of the most juvenile displays of trash talk and one-upmanship from people who have the nation’s pastime in their hands. Shame.
This, while we’ve had to take it on the chin from a pandemic that has cost a lot of us our way of making a living and, at last count, over 120,000 of us our lives.
