As I'm sure you've heard, yesterday baseball's all-time saves leader agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, officially ending his 16-year tenure with the San Diego Padres. As a lifelong Padres fan, I'm not happy. In fact, I'm the opposite of happy.
Typically I try to take the high road ...

It's not often we actively root against an athlete, no matter how outrageous or annoying they are (see Schilling, Curt). This is certainly the case with Brewers pitcher Ben Sheets.

Disclaimer: This post is sure to get rambling, but there is something very important to be said here.

It was despicable. It was inexcusable. In fact, it was downright traitorous.
There I was, a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan cheering loudly, exchanging some spirited man slaps, sitting in the right field bleachers enjoying an ice cold beer.
