Funny observations about Tuesday night's game

[Balsa]

*When that blasted homerun was hit by Andruw Jones it went out of the park right? So the crowd starts chanting "throw it back", but whoever was on the outside had a weak arm and couldn't get it over the fence the first time. Next thing I know, a ball is thrown out from the left field bleachers, and then another one from center field, and then one from right field, and finally the original one from outside :lol: :lol: :lol: Cubs fans were throwing back the balls they got from the outfielders at the beginning of the inning

 

*Dempster went out before one inning to play catch with Lawton, but would look at the crowd along the the third base foul line, pretend like he was going to throw into the stands, and then throw it to the ground right in front and act all frustrated that he couldn't get it up there.

 

*In Dempster's playing catch with Lawton, he kept throwing him either curves or knuckles 'cause it would move all around and make Lawton look silly.

 

Also I don't know if the announcers said it, but Burnitz's granny was RIGHT into the wind blowing in from straight center. He must have just CRUSHED that ball.

 

Good game to go to! I'm now 4-1 over the last two years with 3 Cubs blowouts.

4-1 eh? Maybe you need to get a hold of remaining season tickets :)

While that is an amusing story, I would like to remind everyone that if an usher can make the determination that you are throwing back a ball that was not the home run ball, they will throw you out of Wrigley. Happened to a friend of mine earlier this year.

Yeah, they consider it litering the field. I have friends who were ushers there. They said most of the time, they'd let it go. But if someone was being obnoxious and they threw a ball back, he was gone. They said it was the same as throwing a cup onto the field. They'd get tossed for that, so a ball is the same thing.
