The pinhead Ritalin candidate behind home plate is up and cheering at every strike, while most people are filing out of the park. A buddy has joined him and it looks like the people behind them have complained. The usher is talking to them. But let's them stay? C'mon!

OK, I should've listened to my mom when she scolded me once by telling me, "Everyone has a mother." Here's the proof:

"Hello Adam:

1. I'm a diehard Cubs fan who's only updates on gamedays will be from your blog. I greatly appreciate it (no matter how the Cubbies are playing!).

2. I'm also the mother of the "pinhead Ritalin candidate"! My son went to the game today. (If I'm a diehard fan--he's a psycho fan!) When I read about the overly enthusiastic fan behind homeplate on your blog, I text-messaged his phone and said "Is that you yelling behind the plate?" He answered "You know it! How are you watching the game?" I said, "I'm your mother, I have spies everywhere..." Thanks for giving me the best laugh I've had all day...."

Now I feel really bad. Though, I wonder what she's been feeding him. What are the odds?

If it's true that is fantastic news. I'll be there 4/21 to witness the carnage. Does AP take him deep 3 or 4 times?

Drew taken out of the blowout early as a precautionary measure, presumably protecting him from stubbing his toe or getting a hangnail.

edit: just noticed this from the game notes

I believe Drew was taken out because he's very brittle, and the score was about 12-0 at the time. Nothing has happened to him...yet.
Any word on whether JD made it out of this alive?
