The Twi-Nighter: The reasons we like Lee Elia are multifold
Published 4/29/2008 at Big League Stew
... Elia's tantrum? C'mon people. You should know me better than that. As expected, there have been a lot of words devoted to Elia's famous rant in today's papers and across the Internet and I agree with almost all of them. A quarter of a century later, Elia's rant is still being described as "legendary" (Y! Sports), "hilarious and entertaining" (Desipio) and, my favorite, the "Joe DiMaggio hit streak of screamery" (Eamon at Fanhouse). I'l add another movie-type blurb — "Never gets old." ...

You know, writing this blog may seem glamorous. What with all the money I make, and the fame accorded to me under an alias ensuring that no one will ever take anything I write seriously, things must look pretty sweet from the outside.

Today marks the 25th anniversary of one of the most memorable postgame meltdowns in Major League Baseball. It was on this date in 1983 that then-Chicago Cubs manager Lee Elia went off on a terrific tirade that had more utterances of the f-word than the entire run-time of “Scarface”.

Holidays are fun. Before the festivities get started today, I’d like to say that I’ve always admired Lee Elia and felt bad for him getting scorched like he did. And he was right. Not in the 15%/85% split–although that’s funny–but in what he said about his team’s ability, when he insisted that the Cubs–dormant for a decade after the last vestiges ...Notes For a Cub Off-Day

OK, here is my last Lee Elia link. The guy certainly is embracing The Rant on its 25th anniversary. I promise I have it out of my system now. It's appropriate to remember Lee on this day when much of New York sports commentary has been devoted to another guy (perhaps) taking on the fans - Mr. Carlos Delgado of the Mets.

If you’re a Cubs fan, you’ve undoubtedly heard Lee Elia’s famous 1983 rant about and are probably not looking forward to the media trotting it out for its 25th anniversary. After all, how many times can a person be called a cocksucker without flashbacks of awkward middle school years.

With next Tuesday being the 25th Anniversary of Lee Elia's now famous tirade - still one of my all-time favorites - apparently the former manager felt the need to do a little explaining . Maybe he's mellowed with age, maybe it's a matter of getting a few things off his chest so he isn't remembered as a foul-mouthed lunatic or maybe Elia feels the need to make amends to some of the bleeping ...Happy 25th Anniversary, Cubs Fans!
