He's a graduate of a high school in my old school district (Crystal Lake South) and good buddies with one of my coworkers right now. I know he's a huge Cubs fan too, having been outside Wrigley cheering on the Cubs in the NLCS in 2003 despite having already been drafted by the Marlins, but wow, he's got some issues to take care of. Hope he straightens himself out.

... Friday night was Olsen's return from a two-game suspension without pay after a confrontation with teammate and fellow pitcher Sergio Mitre.

 

Olsen received a black eye last season from his friend and former teammate, reliever Randy Messenger, in an off-the-field confrontation in St. Petersburg. He also was fined an unspecified amount in June for making an obscene gesture toward fans in Milwaukee.

Will look for the link but read that the confrontation with Mitre stemmed from Mitre stepping in when Olsen was berating some (or just one?) clubhouse attendant for not fixing a button on his uniform.
