In the wake of bleacher fans tossing a number of baseballs on the field (an exaggerated showing of the tradition of throwing the opposing player's home run ball back), Marty Brennaman called Cub fans the worst fans in sports.
I think the Reds' announcer is incorrect in his assessment. He's welcome to his opinion. My opinion is that his son is a crappy announcer. Now we're even. As expected, Sweet Lou defended the Cub fandom while maintaining a cool demeanor.
What has been really offensive of late is the Cub bats. They banged out another double digit run output today against the Pirates (with a lot of help from an inept fielding job by the Bucs). Coming into today, the team was 2nd in the NL in runs, hits, RBIs and total bases. The Cubs were also fourth in the NL in slugging percentage and batting average and fifth in home runs.
The team is looking confident and is a joy to watch lately. I had hoped they would come up big against Cincy and Pittsburgh. If they continue getting on base, the runs will follow.
