Guillen told reporters there were rats as big as pigs in the batting cage; pitcher John Danks said Wrigley smelled of urine; and catcher A.J. Pierzynski, who is always booed loudly, weighed in after fans directed a profane chant in his direction Saturday.

“They’re idiots,” Pierzynski told the Chicago Sun-Times. “It’s like what Lee Elia said: ‘Eighty-five percent of the people work, the other (bleeps) come out here.”’ Elia was a former Cubs manager, most well-known for an expletive-filled rant against Cubs’ fans 25 years ago.

I wonder sometime if all ball players and managers say stuff like this and they’re only printing it when it comes from the mouth of a White Sox personnel.

To respond to Mr. Pierzynski, most fans I’ve met at Wrigley do in fact have jobs and most save and work toward a day or two off when they can enjoy a great game out at a historic ballpark and watch their Cubbies play ball. In the case of this year – it’s some pretty fine ball.
