While the Chicago Cubs are tearing apart the Cincinnati Reds on the baseball field, Reds announcers were ripping Chicago Cubs fans from the TV booth. With the Cubs up 7-1 in the top of the ninth inning, Chicago fans started chanting “Let’s go Cubs!”
That is where Thom Brennaman, former Cubs announcer and son of legendary Reds announcer Marty Brennaman, began a rant about Cubs fans.

My first thought to this is, if you don’t like it try winning a game, but we all know the Reds aren’t going to compete with the heavy hitters in the National League Central and especially not the Cubs in 2016.
What is apparent in the rant is, Thom is just salty. Perhaps because of the way he and the Cubs severed ties, or maybe he’s just a homer Reds fan. Who knows, but this isn’t the first time a Brennaman has ripped the Cubs, or our fans.
During a game back in 2008, Cubs fans threw commemorative baseballs that were handed out at Wrigley out onto the field. That is when Thom’s father, Marty blasted Cubs fans.
Maybe Cincinnati should pay more attention to the dumpster fire they trot out on the field everyday and not what Cubs fans are doing.
Thom, either stop fighting your father’s battles or get over your time here in Chicago.
