I like the policy, but if it means they can't witness FIRST HAND a sweep in our ballpark, then it will miss the mark. And after what McCarthy did, hopefully Ozzie will call up Anderson, Fields and Rogowski for the June series at the Cell!!!!

You were really booted from Wrigley? That sucks! You weren't tasered, too, where you? As payback, maybe we need to start lobbying for a "No Cubs Fans Allowed" policy at U.S. Cellular in June...

Benji dude … I got BOOTED from the game yesterday for NOTHING. I know what you’re thinking "The Backer kicked out of a cubs game ... not a surprise." But I didn’t even do ANYTHING!!!! I wish I had a cool story to tell, but I don't. I have to say, the stereotype of White Sox fans being belligerent drunks was put to shame by the trash I stood amongst in the Right Field Bleachers along the fence. These particular Cub fans were class acts, lying to security, telling them I threw a punch and yelled obscenities at little kids walking by. Now, I do appreciate the security, having to deal with these incidents during Sox and Cardinal games. But let’s make the “no tolerance” policy stick. The two men who accused me of being the devil in disguise were allowed BACK to their seats, while I was escorted out of Wrigley (SOBER I may add). Is their any justice in this weekend, besides the fact our minor leaguers make the cubs look like bushers?
