I think booing of Cubs players at this point is inexcusable. Cuss them, but don't participate in mass booing. I just don't get it.

Maybe I'm old fashioned, but I think Soriano deserves to be booed.

How is that old fashioned? When did Wrigley fans start booing their own players based on a very limited amount of performance?

Furthermore, why Soriano? Do you think he's not trying? Do you boo him just because Hendry overpaid him?

I don't get it. What good could this possibly do?

And, yes, I recognize everone's God-given and ticket-paying right to boo.

[Kid]

Lance hits the point on the head. Ever since Wrigley started booing the argument has been "I paid for this ticket, so I have the right to boo." You do. That's right. You have the right to do all kinds of things that shouldn't be done. Booing is one of them. It's one thing if there's a player who has given a reason to be booed beyond non-performance (see, e.g., Milton Bradley). But it's counter-productive at best to boo. At best, it takes away a home field advantage.

[funkster]

Despite their fragile egos, I think they can handle it.

[jstraw]

I'm mostly on board with the not booing your own players thing.

Mostly...

Chuck the second out into the stands? Boo.

Don't run out a grounder and you're not gimpy? Boo.

Shit like that is fair game any game of the season.

They're human. They're usually in the 20's or early 30's. To say that having your home-town fans booing you doesn't have any affect is absurd. (indeed, if it has no effect, then why are you doing it?)

It does have an effect. A negative one. On the player and the team.

Ask Lee Elia if booing at Wrigley is a new trend.
