A head case is a head case.. and at the moment he gets stressed the Head case Blows up on you.....
How many people here gave pumped 8 shots into a wall after a argument..............I rest my case .. I hope !!!
Eight times Aroldis Chapman fired a gun inside the garage of his Miami-area home around 11 p.m. last October after an argument with his girlfriend.
Before spraying those bullets into a concrete wall, the Davie (Fla.) police report alleges Chapman choked the woman and pushed her against the wall ? though no charges were filed due to "conflicting stories and a lack of cooperation from all parties involved.'' Whatever happened that chaotic night, Chapman's girlfriend felt frightened enough to exit his house and hide in the bushes until more than a dozen police officers were dispatched to the scene, the report says.
Now that the Cubs have traded for Chapman, the hardest-throwing closer in baseball, Chairman Tom Ricketts needs to immediately explain his thinking. With domestic violence one of the most significant issues confronting professional sports, Ricketts owes Chicago an explanation for why the Cubs would be willing to compromise their integrity to increase their chances of winning a World Series. Ricketts needs to demonstrate he understands exactly what the move says about the Cubs and that he realizes what's possibly at stake in terms of credibility and accountability. How does getting Chapman square with the clubhouse character and good citizenship Ricketts often mentions when discussing The Cubs Way?
Acquiring a player with Chapman's recent history is not be the kind of transaction the Cubs can casually consider to be just another big move at the trade deadline. Ricketts cannot just rely on Cubs president Theo Epstein and general manager Jed Hoyer ? baseball guys ? to detail how Chapman shortens the game and widens the championship window this year. That's their job to improve the roster as much as possible. Epstein and Hoyer deserve every benefit of the doubt when it comes to building good baseball teams. The Cubs getting Chapman goes well beyond baseball. It goes to what a baseball team wants to stand for.
