Our good friend Paul Sullivan posted a shot of a horde of seagulls hanging out in the left field bleachers yesterday late in the Cubs-Cardinals game at Wrigley.
The photo consisted of several seagulls, two drunk guys in Cubs jerseys and four people huddled up in the back row of the bleachers. These four had made a commitment to sit in the shittiest seats in the park even though nobody was sitting in any of the rows in front of them.
One of them, naturally, is the Patron Saint of Shitheads Everywhere, Al Yellon.
One of his readers posted this photo on his Web site. Another mocked Al’s “dedication” and said he thought he could think of a more apt word to describe it. Al then, predictably, lost his shit.
Geez that’s far from the action.
I like how Al’s buddies are insisting he’s overworked. The guy spends every day of every summer watching baseball. Sure, it’s really crappy baseball, but it’s not exactly digging ditches.
Wait? He makes a living doing that?
Maybe if he didn’t spend so much time acting like a dickhead on internet message boards he wouldn’t be so “overworked.”
The world needs ditch diggers too, Danny.
