Beer thrower turns himself in

The photo on the Tribune's website was correct: that was the guy who threw the beer at Victorino. Here he is after he turned himself into police.

Cubs/Phillies, part 2

About a month ago, we got a group of 25 fans to go watch the Phillies battle the Cubs while they were in Philadelphia. The game went into extra innings, but the bad guys won (sense a theme with the last post?). Here's a clip from singing the 7th inning stretch:

Beergate

Last night, the Cubs played the Phillies at Wrigley Field. I watched the game while playing Quizzo at Urban Saloon--a local restaurant/bar in my Fairmount neighborhood. The game wasn't actually much of one, as the Cubs lost 12-5. But that wasn't the real excitement in the game. In one of the later innings, one of the bleacher bums had had enough: when Phillies player Shane Victorino tracked down a fly ball, someone threw his beer on the center fielder. Victorino caught the ball, but was doused in beer. Security saw a man heckling Victorino, thought he had done this indecent act, and escorted the wrong guy out of the stands! Here's a photo provided by the Tribune:

Booing the other team is one thing; throwing a beer at them is extreme fan interference. First the goat, then Bartman, now this beer-tosser...what's going to happen next at Wrigley?!?!
