MILWAUKEE — Two Chicago-area men are accused of beating up a suburban Milwaukee man who police say threw a bag of trash at their bus after the Milwaukee Brewers' loss to the Chicago Cubs at Miller Park.

Officers arrested the Cubs fans from Downers Grove, 25 and 26, Tuesday night, officials said.

Police say three men got off the bus after a 24-year-old West Allis man threw a bag of trash.

The third man, 34, from Joliet, also was arrested and received a ticket for assault and battery after he punched his sister as she tried to intervene, police said. He also was cited for resisting arrest and possession of drug paraphernalia, Milwaukee police spokeswoman Anne Schwartz said.

Felony charges of substantial battery are pending against the Downers Grove men, she said.

The Brewers fan was cited for disorderly conduct and taken to a local hospital.

Proving, once again, that 100 years of futility makes a team's fans extremely provokable.

Looks like a few Cardinals fans are overdue for a savage pummeling.

Cubs fans better watch out. I watched the South Park baseball episode. You know, where every team wanted to lose because they didn't want to keep playing boring baseball? Well, they end up being disqualified because one of the dads was fighting. Mebbe da cubbies will make it all the way, only to have the win nullified by fan mob action. It happens in Yurup wit dose nutty football fans. Real football, not the American variant.
