I don’t often post two articles on this site at precisely the same time. (In fact, if that’s happened in the past, it’s a mistake by me in scheduling said articles, I generally like to space them out by a couple of hours.)
Today, though, I thought that was the right thing to do, given the big news about Marcus Stroman and the Cubs that broke Wednesday evening, and the news later Wednesday night about the owners’ lockout, so those topics are broken into separate articles instead of my original plan to put them in one — particularly after this remarkably petty move by MLB on its flagship MLB.
