 Cubs Fans Aren't Taking It Anymore! Forgive me for digressing on the topic of baseball. It's tough being a Chicago Cubs fan. First off, the team generally sucks. Then there's that curse of the billygoat thing which has conflagrated into the now famous Bartman curse. So I can kinda understand where the guy in this pic is coming from. Last night in the top of the 9th inning, with the Cubs winning 8-3 against the Rockies, Chicago reliver Bob Howry gave up run-scoring singles to Atkins and Hawpe then a home run to Tulowitkzi. That's when a Cubs fan snapped, jumped onto the field and charged the mound. Sometimes a man has to take his balls into his hands and say, "In this I believe". Cubs reliver Howry related the incident as follows: "He said, 'What are you doing?'" and "I said, 'I'm out here trying to give up home runs. What do you think?'" Link. The Cubs ended up down 9-8 going into the bottom of the 9th where underachieving but highly paid outfielder Alfonso Soriano knocked in two runs to win the game for the previously listless Cubs. Forget Soriano. The star of the game was the fan who put the fear of God into the Cubs. I have a sneaking suspicion this guy was a plant by Manager Lou Pinella, Lou's "manchurian candidate". Sweet Lou (he of volcano temperament) has promised to turn over a new leaf after his last suspension. Our hero is probably just now making bond at the Cook County jail. I wonder if it is Lou Pinella writing the check at the cashier's window? 06/26/2007. (Sports Satire.) Add Comment Permalink
