So. While most of the league is wandering around amphetamine-tweaked and roid-ripped, our catcher likes to stare at pretty colors and listen to Phish*.
Mercifully for Soto, this news didn't break until the recovering Rookie of the Year had already started to come out of his sophomore slump. Now that he's hitting and throwing again, Cubs fans are probably going to shrug off anything up to and including involvement in Aramis's international cockfighting ring. His suspension from international baseball competition for two years (even though the next WBC isn't for, like, three years?) is also merciful, since it means when he starts off slowly again next season Brenly won't be able to harp endlessly on him for playing too many innings in the off-season.
Still, it seems like Cubs Nation is sort of heading in the wrong direction w/r/t banned substances. I'm not saying all our guys should be on everything Bonds was taking--it's my understanding some of that shit was really only safe like for livestock and zoo animals. Also we probably don't want our catcher on whatever Manny's taking, because I'm still not totally sure ManRam realizes he caught a 50 game suspension. I think he may just think that for some reason the season is starting really, really late.
I just feel that if our guys are going to insist on being drug addled embarrassments, they should at least be caught using performance enhancers rather than performance inhibitors. Just, you know, care enough to cheat a little. That's all I ask.

* People still listen to Phish, yeah? Fine. Shut up.
