That fourth hop was a doozy!

Hey guys, let me go. I just want to go massage Soriano’s leg.

To please the gods, it was time once again to sacrifice one of their own. Little Jimmy never had a chance…

Marty Brennaman: I guess those Cub fans have to entertain themselves somehow.

Joe, tired of friend Mike saying he is a “fan of Chicago” and “roots for both the Cubs and Sox”, catches the home run ball, but attempts to throw Mike back on the field.

Stallone’s sequil to 1993’s “Cliffhanger” continues filming in the left field bleachers.

The Chicago Brothers Trapeze act didn’t last as long as some had hoped

Apparently, this guy didn’t read Cubscast’s Cubs Fan Manifesto.

While you’re down there, could you get me that beer I threw at the right fielder when he was making that last play? Oh, and that half-eaten foot-long too…

“So thats why we have baskets”!!

In yet another extra innings game, Manager Lou Pinella gets desperate for another pinch hitter.

Those new seats they added to Wrigley are not all they are cracked up to be.

Billy’s terror escalates as the arms of Wrigley’s insatiable Ivy Wall grab yet another victim. Fueled by the screams from the stands, his heart races and his mind spins in confusion. But in an instant there is a deafening silence as he sees the silhouette of the Center Fielder throw his arms in the air.

As he succumbs to the eternal grip of the Ivy, Billy smiles. Knowing full well that Reed Johnson just prevented two runs from scoring and those vines ain’t so bad after all…

“You mean this thing is not a trampoline?”

Pitcher Zach Duke of the Pittsburgh Pirates calls upon the Cub faithful for pitching advice, as a last resort.

Fan’s lifelong dream to become a baseball ends in tragedy as he is hit into the left field basket. However, on the bright side, with that shot the Cubs were able to pull off another sweet 9th inning victory.

Steve’s first attempt at starting a new tradition of Bleacher Body Surfing after Cub homeruns, nearly ended in disaster.

“Throw it back! Throw it back! Throw it back”

these new seats are hard to get into!

1. “I did NOT say we needed a blue dork net, Phil. I said, we’re beating the New York METS!”

2. FIRST PRIZE WINNER: “Hey, who knows when Pie hits his next one?”

And some unofficial ones…

2. With Carl dangling him from left field with both hands, Zack jutted his carpenter crack out towards Reed Johnson for maximum effect.

3. “We got a Chicago hockey fan caught in a net in left field,” radioed bleachers security. “Yeah, that’s right, Blackhawk down.”

4. “My little league coach always told me to be the ball.”

5. “Get your hands off me, Mets fan!”

Local man falls into basket attempting an ill-planned rescue of a unopened DVD copy of the movie “Rookie of the Year” which he dropped into the basket. Sources claim that man so loved the movie that he would never leave home without a copy. Other sources claim that he was really drunk and obnoxious.

Bleacher Bums throw trash on the field… again.

Throw it back… Throw it back…

Marty Brennaman: What do you know, another cubs fan in the gutter…I’m just surprised he is not face down

The black sheep of the Brennaman family got started a little too early at Murphy’s this morning.

Just because you are wearing a jersey it doesn’t mean that you can play, even if your name is on it.

Derrek Lee doesn’t just hit baseballs into the bleachers. He also hits people that far.

Jeez- I never should have agreed with Marty Brennaman!

C’mon guys! I’m just looking for a way to get mentioned on Cubscast!

A new ad for Life Alert targeting drunk bleacher bums. “Help, I’ve fallen in the basket at Wrigley and I can’t get up!”

Honey - that shamin told us it’s the only way to break the Bartman curse - we have to give Wrigley our first born.

Is that the new Fukudome t-shirt?

Nestled in between the Cat in the Hat plush toy giveaway and Floppy Hat Day at the ballpark was what some in the front office ultimately lost their jobs for and will best be remembered as the Cubs worst promotional idea: the Marty Brennaman Q&A Night in the left field bleachers prior to the game….

“I told you that basket made more catches than Brant Brown!”

Old Styles, gravity, and stupidity conspire to snare another drunk frat boy in the Friendly Confines.

Wrigley Field Tuna: Dolphin Free (not necessarily whale free…).

New evidence has surfaced pointing to why Brenneman is bitter towards Cubs fans. Maybe if those fans helping him out of the basket return the ball, the healing can begin.

“Oh my God it’s Matt Murton! I’m going to go touch him…”

Nice Miller High Life visor too. That might be tackier than falling into the basket itself…

When I get drunk and fall over a fence, it’s a Tru-Link fence (old-school on that one).

Marty Brennenman: “You see that!?! The Cubs fans are even throwing their own out onto the field!!”

I thought these nets were “Dumbass” safe.

When this hungry cub fan found out that Pie was in center field he took it literally.

You can add fan falling on player to your injury t-shirts.

Knowing that bleacher tickets would sell out within hours (and at a ridiculous price of $45), Joe tries to sneak into his seat after spending the winter hibernating in the vines.

Look… I don’t care how far ahead we are Rick… you can’t pee on the Ivey!!!

No, seriously, the view is AWESOME from down here.

No dudes, you don’t understand. I’m trying to revive the ivy.

sorry i dropped my beer

When fans heard Neifi say he really wanted to return to Wrigley Field, they were sure this wasn’t what he’d had in mind.

Free swinging Ronny Cedeno accidently catches the Cubs bench coach with a wild swing of his bat while in the on deck circle. Luckly for Mr. Stroad, he was able to land neatly in the home run basket.

Steve Bartman returns to Wrigley Field only to embarass himself again.

“Wow, if it wasn’t for that basket catch, this could have turned out a lot worse.”

We now return to “When Brenneman’s Attack.”

It was then that he realized it had been a mistake to do the Soriano hop from the top rail into the basket.

Yeah, I remember when I had MY first Old Style in the bleachers at Wrigley!

Another Cubs fan is saved by the “anti-suicide” barriers erected at Wrigley field after the 2003 season.

I’ll show that Brenneman guy that Cubs fans aren’t stupid! Right after I figure out how to get out of this…

Marty Brennaman makes trip to bleachers. Fans throw him back.

Matt Murton was confused and thought that he had scored a touchdown on lambeau field.

The best fence is a good fence.

Love to listen to Ron and Pat. I’ve been listening since about 1946 and I need a big year.

thats a long way to hit a fatball

OK Rob, maybe 32 Old Styles IS my limit!
