Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 It's like road rage...you just don't know who has a gun anymore. I actually this year stopped going to the Sox-Cubs games, because I didn't like - couldn't stand - being around asshole Cub fans who want to piss me off, in my home park. Baseball is supposed to be a way to relax and get away from the stress of life. I also understand why ballplayers want to beat the s*** out of the William Ligues in life.

The Critic Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 To be honest, I am more than a little surprised that this hasn't happened after a Sox - Lovable Losers game yet. I could see this scenario: Leaving a Sox win at Chewing Gum Park, a Drunken Fratboy is overheard to say, "Well, our Cubbie Wubbies lost, but Sammy hit a HOMER! Wasn't that COOL?" A Sox fan overhears and starts laughing. A heated argument ensues. The sCrUB fan reaches for his cell phone to call his frat brothers to help him attack the Sox fan. The Sox fan, thinking Fratboy is reaching for a gun, grabs his own gun and pops a cap in CubbieBoy. ESPN jumps all over the story, and the following season metal detectors are installed at every entrance of USCF, but interestingly, NOT at BubbleGum Field where the shooting took place!

southsider2k5 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 As weird as it sounds these kind of reasons are probably the biggest reason that I don't want to see an all Chicago series... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHeat45 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 That story is pretty weird because you would think if there was any killing it would be a dodgers fan killing a giants fan because they clinched the division. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CubKilla Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I kid you not..... I had a goddamn fossil attack me at Wrigley in 2000 when the White Sox beat the Cubs. I was cheering for the Sox all along and, when the White Sox won, this goddamn fossil grabbed me and his Mark McGuire look-a-like son was gonna try to pummel me if I swung at his 80 y/o dad. Even the Cub fans in the area around me were telling this old f*** to calm down. If I had my Glock on hand, I'd have capped both of them for assaulting me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Tizzle Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Giants fan shoots Dodgers fan after game..... Fan Killed in Altercation I know it isnt really an appropriate time to be comparing media coverage between Sox fan violence and other incidents, but I couldnt help but mention it. After first coming on this site and seeing this thread I thought it would be the main topic on MLB.com.........it wasnt. Then I go to ESPN.com and look for the heading............it existed but was on the right hand side in small, bold print. Everyone on Soxtalk can imagine if this would of occured at USCF. Regardless of the coverage its a tragic incident of fan rivalry. I don't think there's anything that the security at Dodger Stadium could of done to prevent this. Many fans from these teams would of been arguing, nobody could of predicted something like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stories are often put to the side and bad stories with twisted truths and such are often put up front(Moronotti-type articles, Posnanski-type articles, etc). It is sad. Shame on the media for doing such things. Make light of this issue....it is a terrible, tragic thing. Anyways, my prayers go out towards the family of the murdered, and I hope the murderer is sentenced to death. That is sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bighurt52235 Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I could be wrong, but how do we know that the murdered wasn't about to murder the other guy? He was in the altercation, and we do not know if he was entirely innocent. It is still very tragic, but we do not know the whole story.
