A quick side note, I was looking up a story relating to batshit crazy fans and I ended up on the following tweet. Just a little laugh for all of you reading this who might be on edge after yesterday’s brutal loss.
Enjoy.
Theo Epstein ……lost…clueless…

Anyway, back to yesterday. So, you know it’s a rough game when the highlight of the afternoon is Jon Jay throwing 46 mph and pitching a scoreless ninth inning, but that’s where we found ourselves on Thursday, when the Milwaukee Brewers kicked the Chicago Cubs ass at Wrigley Field. Embarrassing game, but you put those in the trash as soon as you can like Joe Maddon said after the game. Yet, what was more pathetic was Cubs fans losing their damn minds before the game even started.
You want to panic because the Cubs have been mediocre and are 4.5 games out of first place? Fine. You want to boo? Go ahead. You want to start a fucking mini riot for a bobblehead giveaway? Take a step back, re-evaluate your life and calm the fuck down.
It was 9:45 a.m. nearly four hours before first pitch on Thursday and fans were ready to break down the gates at Wrigley Field for a goddamn bobblehead. Oh, but it’s the final out of the World Series, featuring Bryzzo bobblehead, I MUST HAVE IT! No, no you really don’t.
But hey, I guess I’m the crazy one.

Fine.
HOWEVER! This shit was ridiculous.
Breaking! Chaotic scene as the last box of Bobbleheads are taken to an undisclosed location. Heated tempers, lots of anger #Cubs pic.twitter.com/tbdECTAxYS

And Crawly makes a great point. You want that bobblehead so bad, you show up early, get in line, and get yours. You can’t show up after the fact and expect to get one. And if you’re at the point where you’re pissed that you couldn’t get one, then you at least knew there was a strong chance that other people would show up early to get one.
Pretty damn early! I did hear a lot of complaining from people that showed up around 11

The Cubs are playing awful baseball, the fans are going insane over a free bobblehead. That’s fucking Cub, that’s the shit Theo Epstein came here to stop.
And this dude
Get the fuck out of the way. Also, I’m 100 percent sure this is his wife.
