In addition to the Asian influence of Fukudome in and around Wrigley Field, we wanted to point out that the scholarly Cubs fans are all about international scouting - trying their dearest to be ahead of the curve when it comes to rooting for athletes that they know nothing about, but have funny names.

Keep your eye out for Pakistani second baseman, Balamani Bhatt.  His name means "young jewel" and he's the son of Babu Bhatt.  Very quick hands.

Anyone that has been through the Wrigley confines knows about the Fukudome insanity sweeping through Chicago.  You can't miss it.  It's printed on t-shirts, street signs, toilet paper, and everything in between.  Seriously.

While we're sure the Asian population of Chicago certainly appreciates the copious amounts of available merchandise - most of the market is dominated by drunken bleacher monkeys who think it's awesome to have have "FUK U" printed on their foreheads.

This idiot is seemingly supporting the signature "Miller Time" slogan for the Miller Brewing Company.  In fact, upon learning of our ties to St. Louis, he began yelling and screaming about the recent InBev purchase of our beloved Anheuser Busch.  Fair game.  It certainly wasn't the first anti-Busch joke we heard all weekend.  For some reason, Cubs fans absolutely love the fact that we're losing Anheuser Busch.



Whatever.

This clown dropped $150 on a personalized jersey to support a non-baseball joke that he thought was hilarious - and is only applicable when the Cubs play the Cards.  If you're ever wondering how MLB makes so much revenue on merchandise sales, remember this idiot.

Side Note: Miller is headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin...not Chicago.  Perhaps the guy got excited when the Cubs signed hot free agent prospect, Wade Miller, in 2006.  But, Wade Miller is currently on a rehab assignment in Peoria...and he wore #52 for the Cubs., so the personalized #16 doesn't make sense, especially since third basemen Aramis Ramirez has worn #16 since he signed with the Cubs in '04.

In this time of cultural rivalries and seemingly unreconcilable differences between Chicago and St. Louis - it's refreshing to see that we can all agree on one thing: ugly ass body ink.

It's not our place to judge sexuality - but the following traits are usually the common criteria listed on a "how to tell you're gay" checklist.

- Sweatshirt tied around waist
- Drinking a frozen lemonade from a straw
- Visor
- Pink Cubs jersey

Among the general stadium fan base, there exists a subset of arrogant pricks that honestly believe they could have been Major League talents - had a few breaks gone their way, or a few more coaches would've played them more.  These are usually the same guys that take church league softball way too seriously, or get really excited about high school football reunions.They usually stay pretty fit, so their "Yea, I could've..." and "When I used to play..." stories sound legit.

Long story short, this guy isn't one of those fans.  He likes the pizza buffet, and laughs hysterically when old people accidentally fart.



[ A series loss, coupled with the looming Chris Carpenter injury news, is tough for any Cardinals fan to stomach.   It's been documented that there was noticeably "more blue" in the stands of Wrigley for this past weekend rival Cubs/Cards series - seemingly because Cubs fans actually have something to gloat about in August.  It's not a fun time to be a Cardinals fan.

In a therapeutic display of maturity, we'll be posting some of Wrigley's finest throughout the day.  Check back early and often for updates. ]
