Idiot of the Moment : That Cubs Fan.

Let me start off by saying that I could care less about baseball in general. It's not a bad sport, I just don't enjoy.  Nothing about it interests me, I don't understand it, and I can't stand watching it.  The only baseball I see is when I watch the news at night and the sports segment comes on.  This is where I discovered the newest idiot of the moment. 

You see, lately no one has done anything idiotic, so this is a glorious event for me. I've been struggling to find someone, somewhere who is worthy enough be be listed in the list that beats all lists. So, from me to Chicago, I thank the loyal fan of the cubs for letting me do this.  Let's get on with the show, shall we?

Today's idiot of the moment is none other than that stupid fan of the Chicago Cubs, who instead of allowing his team to catch a pop-foul ball and possibly clinching a win against the Marlins (I'm from Miami if you didn't know, but I could also care less about the Marlins...) tried to catch it and "fouled-up" the foul ball catch.  ZING! 

Let's take a close look at the great man that let the fine tradition of losing in Chicago continue:

I not the best writer in the world, so I'm just going to say that this guy, right here, is a freaking idiot.  According to my morning radio show-gram, this man was skinned alive in the streets of Chicago.  The source of this story is unconfirmed at the moment. 

The news had a lot to say about it.  So did the fans.  Let's take a look at what they had to say:

"Luis Castillo fouled a 3-2 pitch down the line in left. Moises Alou raced over from his outfield position to make the catch, but a fan seated in the front row reached out with his hand and deflected the ball before Alou could wrap his glove around it for the second out..."

Right after our friend (whose name hasn't been released by the police for public safety reasons) knocked the ball away, other fans began to throw thier own feces, and other unhealthy hazardous material at him.  The man, shown clearly above with hat and head-phones, tried to play it off, saying stuff like, "oops!" and "I wuz jest kidding!"

"That fan is now the least popular figure in Chicago since either Al Capone or Mrs. O'Leary's cow. Fans showered him with beer and debris as he wept, and the Marlins were genuinely worried for his safety afterward."

'I just hope that fan got out alive,' Derrek Lee said.

He did get out alive, but not after suffering the wrath of eight angry Chicago nuns, all wear Cubs hats and holding commemorative Cubs baseball bats. They batted hundreds of Cubs bobble-head dolls at his general direction, causing some disorientation, and possible bruising.  But they could only hope.

Here's to you Cubs fan guy.  You sir, are a real American hero. 

Now, off topic, why are all the Chicago sports teams named after bears?  Are there many bears in Chicago?  I know lots of team names don't make sense, so I'm just wondering if theirs does.  Bears? Cubs?  Who cares.
