Neither Chicago team won the Aroldis Chapman sweepstakes, but unfortunately for him, Cincinnati did. And you know what that means, don’t you? Dusty Baker + Young Talented Arms = Trouble. That formula has been proven again and again. Thankfully we have The Onion to make up a hilarious fake story that rings a little too [...]

Personally I have not had any experience with Cubs fans being racist, but according to the Sun-Times, there is a history of racism from the North Side faithful:

Dusty Baker is famous for his savvy managing style and deep understanding of the game of baseball. Okay, I had a lot of trouble writing that sentence without laughing/crying. Dusty is actually more famous for his horrible, horrible misuse of pitchers. After running the Cubs rotation into the ground during his time in Chicago, he [...]
