South side trash ruining baseball

For the second time in eight months Chicago White Sox fans are in the media spotlight for all the wrong reasons. And by wrong reasons I mean barbaric. Honestly, what the hell is wrong with these people?  

 

 

 

First there was the incident in mid September of last year, when a father and his 15-year-old son bum rushed Kansas City Royals first base coach Tom Gamboa. The dysfunctional duo jumped on Gamboa and then attempted to beat the blue off his uniform. Fortunately, Gamboa, aside from a few cuts and bruises, was OK.  

 

 

 

Now flash forward to this past Tuesday evening when first base umpire Laz Diaz was assaulted by a yet-to-be identified but idiotic fan who tried rather ineffectively to tackle Diaz. Strangely enough the team the ChiSox were playing was once again the Kansas City Royals.

A most pressing question demands to be answered following these two incidents in the City of Broad Shoulders and Small Intellects. First of all, who in the hell do these ass hats think they are?  

 

 

 

Despite the intelligent and civilized White Sox fan base (all seven of them), there is no excuse for a couple of South side morons to make the Comiskey loyal look like royal pieces of white trash. 

 

 

 

If the father and son pair that tackled Gamboa last fall are looking for employment after getting fired from their last jobs for hurling fecal matter at the other primates in the zoo, then I'm pretty sure the backyard wrestling league in their neck of the woods needs a couple of more round-headed missing links to throw around into card tables lined with barbed wire.  

 

 

 

As for this other chump who tried to jack Diaz the other evening, he should really try to find a new hobby. He could set up his very own crystal meth lab in his basement and then consume the raw toxic waste that is a by-product of processed crystal meth. Or maybe he could hang out down by the tracks in Gary, Ind., and have a stumbly derelict introduce Mr. \I-like-to-tackle-people-while-on-the-job,"" to the business end of a smashed 40 ouncer of Red Dog.  

 

 

 

Basically, the good people of Chicago should know better than to tolerate this sort of crap from ruining a baseball game. If anybody out there goes to a Sox or even a Cubs game and sees something like the two instances cited in this story beginning to unfold, just drag the ne'er do well to the nearest CTA line and have him get real up close and personal with the rail track.
