Friday YouTube Nugget

In honor of the end of baseball's regular season, I'm posting an old favorite - a postgame tirade from Cubs manager Lee Elia in 1983. Some choice thoughts from Mr. Elia on the state of baseball in the Windy City at that time, particularly the following bon mot:

"What the fuck am I supposed to do, go out there and let my fuckin' players get destroyed every day and be quiet about it? For the fuckin' nickel-dime people who turn up? The motherfuckers don't even work. That's why they're out at the fuckin' game. They oughta go out and get a fuckin' job and find out what it's like to go out and earn a fuckin' living. Eighty-five percent of the fuckin' world is working. The other fifteen percent come out here..."
