the scout declared Maddux was "not strong enough to be a starter,"

The Cubs have had a profit motive, rather than a championship motive, for most of the last 110 years.

Damn - that Cari Champion is an attractive woman!

Sorry dude, saying "too long; didn't read" about the report and claiming that the workers are there of their own free will, when the article mentions the kafala system (which essentially makes the workers indentured servants) and then ranting about what a reporter's job is and claiming "the customer is always right"…
