he could have sang: "you can root root root for the cubbies, and i'll do the same for the crew. he put the brewers before the cubs, in the part that's traditionally designated for the "cubbies". that would have avoided some of the backlash.

If you're gonna say one word in front of 40,000 people, think it through... Or else you'll look like this guy:

I don't think Ozzie is capable of coherent thought anymore.

Un-classy response to an classy guy. Stop booing everything guys, you're embarrassing yourselves.

I could not agree more. The last few years Cubs fans seem like they can't help but boo even the most inconsequential things, and it keeps getting worse. If we don't want to be viewed as Lovable Losers that's fine (good, in fact), but it doesn't mean we have to be Ignorant Idiots, or Philly fans.

i think uecker is a good guy, but i think it's awesome that he got booed and the fans sang the stretch the right way.

 

he deserved to get booed, and he knows it. ask him.

I don't see how this is a topic. Everyone in the world knew that he was going to say Brewers, that was part of the fun. The other part was booing him.

If there is ever a time to bring out the "boo" I would say this is probably it. Playoff race, competitors announcer, wrigley field, root root root for the brewers. Sounds like the most appropriate time EVER to boo.

I've also noticed a change at Wrigley the last few seasons. There's just this different vibe that doesn't seem right. It's the same feeling you get at Philly and New York games: that at any moment things could get ugly.

They have been serving us really stale Old Style, that is the problem, IMO.

How is this a topic? He sang "root root root for the Brewers", of course he deserved to be booed. He's also a great guy and an awesome announcer. I don't think anyone will disagree with either of the last two statements.

Most everyone would agree with the "great guy," Brewers fans included. Doesn't matter to me though, I'm against the booing.

I agree. Things like this are part of what makes rivalries fun.
