5/9 Pirates (Gorzelanny) @ Cubs (Marquis) - 7:05pm CSN/720

[jersey cubs fan]

After the win, a bunch of people threw their beers onto the field. I don't know if this is some kind of bleacher tradition but I thought it was really lame. Not only were they trashing up the field, there was beer left in some of those cups.

 

I hate people sometimes.

 

It really pissed me off. It was a picture perfect night and the field looked beautiful. The Cubs just won. Why would you trash your own field after a win?

 

The bolded part probably sums it up best. They are selfish people. They probably don't think twice about littering anywhere, the type of guy who unwraps his cigarette box and lets the plastic fly. They spent their childhoods being told how special they are and took it to the extreme later in life. All that matters is their personal level of enjoyment.

I believe many of the beer tossing people aren't true Cub fans (and probably not of Baseball for that matter), they attended for the game for the "experience". As a result, they really don't care about the condition of Wrigley Field or the Cubs - so the beer flies.

I don't mean to imply there is ever a good reason to trash the field but there was seemingly no reason at all for it. "I was mad at the call and threw my beer without thinking", or something like that I can at least understand where someone is coming from. This was just littering the field for the sake of being a penis. It was an attitude of "F this place I'm outta here." It bummed me out.
