Holy Crap! As a Cards fan, it never hurts my feelings when there is Cubbie drama. But no one wins in situations like this.

I always wonder at the timing of these things. What does "last fall" mean, and why are these allegations just being made or coming out?

He may want to come back for spring training a little early this year.

I tend to be skeptical too when the events seem to have occurred awhile ago...but who knows?

I feel the same about the drama too...it would be more fun to laugh about if Castro was hitting .190 through August (as a White Sox fan I experienced this with Dunn...it hurts)!

I know the report says it is "exclusive" but I would have thought that the Trib's website or the Sun-Times' website would have some mention of this allegation by now...nothing on either website...yet!

...or not at all.

Nice name, pinko!

This situation isn't funny, and we'll have to see how the case goes. I do find it funny that only White Sox, Brewers, and Cardinals fans are commenting. Until now at least.

Ummm...no one is even remotely suggesting that this is "funny"! Not even close...

I am a Steeler fan and I felt/feel the same about Big Ben as I do this situation...and if either of those guys sexually assaulted a woman they should be in jail! But until the case plays out Castro is innocent...

Definitely nothing funny here. On first story, a terrible situation all the way around.

Hopefully it's just some women looking for money and attention but this is not good either way.

Are you looking for your fellow cubs fans to come running to the defense of him? No one has made fun of the situation. If you feel like people are going against your cubs then they are. You have a player who is being accused of sexually assaulting a woman.

This is a bad situation for Castro. He is one of the best young hitters in the game.

Hopefully his defense is better than his own on the field!

Things only get better for Cubs fans.

I was just making a joke on the second part. Saying it wasn't funny meant just that, not that anyone was making it out to be.

Lot of shady stuff here. Not to downplay it at all but how reliable is the report of someone who was so drunk they blacked out.

Again, not saying it couldn't have happened but there is a lot of weeds for the cops to chop through.
