Todd Zolecki is like Shane Victorino in that he has had a beer thrown on him. It's just that he wasn't playing centerfield at Wrigley Field at the time.2 hours ago

I'm being told security initially got the wrong fan. I've also been told they went back and got the right fan. Bad day for the first guy.

The first place he went after the Phillies finished up their 12-5 victory over the Cubs at Wrigley Field on Wednesday night was the bank of laptop computers that store each and every pitch of the game....“Look at that!” Victorino shouted while watching the replay. “Perfect timing. How did he do that?”

Meanwhile, the Cubs are working with the Chicago Police Department to try and find the “fan,” and plan to release the photograph on Thursday with the hope of catching him. Additionally, Cubs’ general manager Jim Hendry and manager Lou Piniella apologized to the Phillies and to Victorino for the incident.

“I smelled like [bleep] the rest of the game,” Victorino said

The whole article is good.

Oh, burn!

“But one thing about Wrigley Field, I puke every time I go there,” Guillen said earlier this season.

An enjoyable read for a few reasons. One, they have a poster who makes BigEd look like PtK. Two, they all completely flip out at the beer throwing thing with complete shame. Three, they really hate their team. Like almost Met levels, far worse I think than we get even on our bad days.

How many tabs do you think he has working at a time to get that stuff all lined up?

One of the most "impressive" things I've seen in a while.

Wow, I feel bad for those poor guys.

And seriously, that guy is insane. Ed, I expect full real-time splits for tomorrow's game.

800 million stupid facts in that guy's post and yet also this:

Here's video of the beer shower catch: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp? ... p&c_id=mlb

I think you can clearly see the thrower- kid in white shirt with sunglasses hanging on the collar. It almost looks like the way he's gesturing (pointing at himself while talking at the security staff), that he tried to turn himself in, but they ignored him. He could also be saying "it wasn't me."

Most or all of it is from Baseball Reference. Not sure where he found that WGN factoid.

Holy crap, that Hornkhohl cat is cool. I don't care where he gets it from, I love that kind of minutia.

I imagine something like this as BigEd reads the thread

by **Woody** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 08:19:57

Hmm. Never would have guessed that the Cubs were 0-2 during night games when the temperature was above 80 degree, there was a northwesterly breeze, and more than 20 african americans were in attendance. Interesting.
