Cub Fan Tries To Bean Manny

We all know the Wrigley Field tradition of throwing an opponent's home run ball back on to the field. It's a great one, even when performed by the joyless corporate VIPs who made Wrigley Field a quiet, soulless place to watch the game last night [author's note - I say that as a Cubs fan]. But there's throwing the ball back onto the field, and then there's being a sore-loser-jerkstore, as was the case with Lincoln Park's Paul Solans last night. Solans caught one of the Dodger home run balls (the Sun-Times doesn't say which of the three he caught) but instead of tossing it back gently and immediately, he waited for the Dodgers to take the field in the next inning, then promptly fired the ball at Dodger outfielder Manny Ramirez. Fortunately for Manny, Solans had about as much as control on his fastball as Dempster did last night and missed. ZING! Security guards apprehended Solans and turned him over to police. We doubt Manny noticed a thing.

"We doubt Manny noticed a thing." That's funny. It's so true!

 

What a coward.

Spook, untangle your words for me please - "If Cub fans when this is what is instore for Chicago?"

 

My bad I was a bid rabid just thinking about "what if. I meant to say, meant to right, that if the Cubs do win, the type of -the above- behavior- times ten- will be instore for all us civilized folks.
