The Chicago Tribune ran some stories about Lee Elia, his famous rant, and recent comments from Elia attempting to explain it all. Elia is also selling something. For charity, of course. Expect a lot of the former Cubs you haven't seen in ages coming out of the weeds this summer.
The audio on this is exactly what the term "profanity laced" was coined for. The Trib has the audio from Elia's rant on its site. You can also catch it on youtube.
Reading Elia's recent explanation of his mindset and thinking about Lee Smith allowing a winning run to score on a wild pitch, plus images of John Vukovich, Keith Moreland and Larry Bowa, and pitchers like Dickie Noles on a team that lost 91 games (5-14 on rant day, and lost 89 games the previous year) and I can see why fans were booing.
