Lance Berkman Knows What's Up

I haven't been shy in the past about not being the biggest fan of Lance Berkman when he was with the Astros, and then the St. Louis Cardinals. Now with the Texas Rangers, his career seems to be winding down to the home stretch but that didn't stop Lance from unleashing his feelings recently when asked about playing at Wrigley Field in Chicago during the Rangers' upcoming road trip as well as his opinion of playing there during his time in the NL Central. . Lance said something today that is so right on point that I have to give him his due for it. Here's the quote from the Big Puma about playing in Wrigley Field in Chicago:

"If they’re looking for a guy to push the button when they blow the place up, I’ll do it ... Chicago’s one of the worst places in baseball … really for anything."

Bingo, Jack.

Its no secret to anyone in baseball that Chicago Cub fans are no doubt the scum of the earth when it comes to our national past time. From thinking this is their year every year, to being scared of a goat, to making poor Steve Bartman's life a living hell for no reason, to pouring beer on players and opposing fans, and basically being the worst kind of sports fans that were ever created by the baseball gods. They are the worst and for some reason they seem to be everywhere. They are the cockroaches of the baseball world.

These fans inhabit a ballpark that matches their wretched ways and has been outdated for about 25 years now. No video boards, no replays, a lack of light that makes it difficult to schedule night games which make for awful annoying mid week and Friday 2:30 starts that are out of place in the modern baseball era. The place has screamed for a renovation or to be torn down for years now and finally something is being done. But Lance is spot on with this quote and there is nothing good that could ever come from the un-friendly confines of old broken down Wrigley Field. And don't forget about the seagulls. The seagulls are the worst.

Keep preaching that truth for us Lance.
