Just when we thought that that whole “Cubs are cursed” thing was a growing a little shopworn, Joe Smith, relief pitcher for the New York Mets, picks us up. “mycubseason2008″ recently posted a video (via HOME RUN DERBY) of Smith cursing Cubs fans in the Wrigley Field bleachers before the Cubs-Mets game on April 22. Good times!
A lot of the audio isn’t intelligible, but here’s what we could make out Smith saying.
Smith: “You ain’t sh–. You ain’t got nothing, man. … F— you. … You ain’t got sh–. … I’m in the big leagues you idiot.”
In Smith’s defense, we can only imagine what Cubs fans were saying to him at the time. And while he screamed his remarks, he had a smile on his face. With that, we’re guessing it was a good-natured, though off-color, back-and-forth.
Of course, all that said, Smith’s comments were completely inappropriate. Especially with kids likely within earshot.
