For the second time in as many Chicago Cubs games I saw fans using a fist beer koozie (officially named Tuff Glove).\u00a0 You know the one: it looks like a gigantic hulk-sized fist that holds your beer.\u00a0 The perfect beer koozie, right?\u00a0 Huh, wrong.\u00a0 For the second straight game, the Tuff Glove has been implicated in two major beer spills causing the users to not only look like a moron but also lose their beer.<\/p>\n

On Monday, a woman at Mullen\u2019s on Clark was carrying her beer in the koozie and continued to spill it as she walked through the crowd \u2013 granted, her drunkenness may have been the main cause but you have to be drunk to wear one of these stupid hands.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Today, a man using the Tuff Glove was in the upper deck box of Wrigley Field.\u00a0 As he walked up aisle 429, he missed a step and spilled about \u00bc of his beer on the gentleman sitting across the aisle from the Ultimate Sports Wife and me (this picture was taken several minutes later after the beer had dried from his back).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These two \u201cincidents\u201d made me realize there are two main issues with the Tuff Glove \u2013 especially bringing it into the ballpark.\u00a0 First, it is cumbersome \u2013 making your hand much bigger than you are used to.\u00a0 Second, if you happen to trip with a beer in \u201chand\u201d (the fake hand) you will lose control of your beverage much easier than you would if you were holding the beer with your real hand.\u00a0 These are small but important details especially if you are drunk.<\/p>\n

Now, the man who spilled his beer did follow proper fan etiquette by buying the victim a beer immediately.\u00a0 But who wants to pay a tax on using a beer koozie.\u00a0 My advice: keep it simple and safe.\u00a0 Drink your beer with two hands and stick to your rally cap.<\/p>\n

Milwaukee Brewers at Chicago Cubs<\/span>
\nIt was another beautiful day for a baseball game in Chicago \u2013 a rarity for an April afternoon.\u00a0 In what is hopefully not a rarity, the Cubs scored four times in the bottom of the 8th to complete a comeback win versus the Brewers.\u00a0 Ryan Theriot and Kosuke Fukudome each had two-run singles in the inning against Latroy Hawkins.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
