Lee Elia, loathed by most of Cubdom for remarks that really should never be made about fellow human beings, is apparently trying to patch things up with the Wrigley faithful. This is after a monologue that, mind you, had to be bleeped 54 times. And the fans Elia was referring to were rooting for his team.
His language, though, is as rough as ever — if you read between the brackets of the carefully crafted MLB.com story.
“I’ll tell you one thing — it’s time the Cubs get hotter than hell this season and [stick it to] the rest of the baseball world,” Elia said. “The 40,000 fans who fill this ballpark every day and work hard for a living are no nickel dimers. They deserve a championship. They’re real Chicago Cubs fans. And print it.”
Oh, c’mon. We all know what he said. And it wasn’t “stick it to.”
Cubs’ fans seem to be ambiguous about the fence-mending effort. Which, well, you would be too.
