Chicago Mayor To Bar Owners—Cut Cub Fans Off After The Seventh, Or Else

Oh, booze. You make going to the ballpark and calling a muti-millionaire sleeping with supermodels a loser so much easier. But it’s understandable that, in the wake of the Chicago Cubs’ success this year, Chi-town Mayor Richard Daley is calling for a more stringent enforcement of the ban of all Wrigley-field bars from selling alcohol after the seventh inning. Cub fans, sensing their first World Series title in over a hundred years, are already blowing their wad over their division championship, and Daley’s feeling a little apocalyptic about what fans might do if they got too dunk, like shoot at first responders or go and try to have a chat with Barack Obama.

They’re gonna have their reveille in the street. But, I don’t want first responders hurt. I don’t want any citizen hurt. I don’t want to see an ambulance trying to drive down the street loaded with people,” said the mayor. “We don’t need your cameras up there showing people getting injured. They’re gonna win it on the field and not on the street. You can drink as much beer for seven innings as you want. Give me a break.

Yeah, but listening to Bill Murray sing “Take Me Out To The Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch would have anyone running for a Guinness. What then, Mayor?
