3 Cub fans arrested after fight with Brewers supporter
2 accused of attacking Wisconsin man; 3rd man charged with hitting his sister
Tribune staff report
11:05 PM CDT, July 30, 2008
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.

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
Rotoworld is the messenger:
The Cubs confirmed that Carlos Zambrano left Wednesday's game with shoulder discomfort. He'll be examined on Thursday.
Zambrano wanted to continue to pitching, but he did indicate that shoulder was bothering him in the dugout after departing in the seventh. If the Cubs are forced to put him on the disabled list, they could put Jon Lieber back into the rotation. Neither Sean Marshall nor Rich Hill would seem to be an option right now.

Hope 4 da Cubbies?
Mark Cuban wants to buy Cubs, be billionaire bleacher bum

CHICAGO - Mark Cuban wants to become a billionaire bleacher bum if he buys the Chicago Cubs.
The Dallas Mavericks owner, known for noisily cheering his NBA team and berating officials from courtside, reiterated strong interest Monday in owning the Cubs.
"Everybody thinks I'm going to be on the sidelines, in the dugout, jumping up and down. That's not where I'll be," he said on the Mike North Morning Show on radio station WSCR.
"When I went to the Cubs game a couple weeks ago, I sat in the bleachers, and I'll have a seat marked out for me and my friends. We'll be out in the right-field bleachers -- that's the best place to watch a game."
Tribune Co. announced six months ago that it would sell the club after the season in connection with an $8.2 billion buyout of the media conglomerate led by real estate magnate Sam Zell. But the process has moved slowly and many don't expect a sale to be completed until well into 2008.
Cuban said he hasn't made a final decision on whether to bid for the team. But once Tribune provides full details about the assets for sale, presumably including Wrigley, he expects to be in.
"It's a great sports town, it's a great franchise with a storied history. There's so many opportunities here," he said. "When a team that's so iconic and such an amazing team like the Cubbies come up, it's an opportunity I couldn't let slip by."
After last month's bleacher experience, the Pittsburgh native said he's becoming a Cubs fan. "People think that because I'm not from Chicago, that's a big deal," he said. "I grew up in Pittsburgh, and there's no bigger Dallas Mavs fan now."
"If all this goes down ... if you cut any part of my body, you can see Mavs blood and you can see Cubbies blood coming out." Cuban faces stiff early competition for the Cubs, including several Chicago groups. One front-runner is thought to be the group headed by John Canning, chairman of private equity firm Madison Dearborn Partners LLC and a longtime friend and business partner of baseball commissioner Bud Selig.
