Cubs fans resort to urinating in beer cups due to Wrigley Field renovations (PHOTOS)

Say what you will about Chicago Cubs fans but when they gotta go, they gotta go.

During the Cubs opening night loss to the Cardinals Sunday night, unfinished renovations at Wrigley Field caused lines to the bathrooms to get so long, some fans relieved themselves by using empty beer cups instead of waiting for a urinal.
Photos of the long lines and cups of urine surfaced on Twitter as fans voiced their frustrations at the stadium delays caused by the construction, with some saying they waited two innings to use the bathroom.


The bleachers at Wrigley are currently off-limits because of the construction and are covered in a tarp honoring the late Ernie Banks as they continue work in that area of the park. The renovations are expected to be completed by June.


Conditions that would even make a goat blush.

Dirk Nowitzki takes uppercut to balls from Shaun Livingston (VIDEO)

When Shaun Livingston ran up against a slightly taller Dirk Nowitzki in the post Saturday night, the Warriors defender did something he should not have done.

Livingston was charged with a flagrant foul after turning Nowitzki's boys into a couple of speedbags with a well-placed uppercut.


And as you can see in the video below, the Mavericks star wasn't happy about getting "Dirked."



Surprisingly, Livingston wasn't ejected for the intentional groin-shot.

Kentucky's Harrison curses out Wisconsin's Kaminsky into live mic (VIDEO)

For a kid brought up in the world of social media, it seems Kentucky star Andrew Harrison still doesn't know that the whole world is always watching or, in this case, at least listening.

After his Wildcats had their perfect season derailed by Frank Kaminsky and the Wisconsin team, Harrison used a racial slur while cursing out the Badgers star into a live microphone during a postgame podium appearance.


While a teammate was being asked a question about Kaminsky's impact on the game, the dour Harrison uttered, "Fuck that nigga" into his hand — only to have it picked up by the live mic right in front of him. 

And, unfortunately for Harrison, he said it loud enough for everyone to hear.

Harrsion later apologized for the comment and said he used it in "jest."


Kentucky officials said after the game they had no comment but they would be speaking with Harrison about his postgame etiquette.

Russian hockey team does human domino to celebrate win (VIDEO)

After the Lokomotiv junior hockey team in Russia's MHL scored a big 6-2 win over Almaz to clinch their playoff series on Wednesday, the players fell all over themselves during their post-game celebration.

And it was all intentional.

After the final buzzer, the MHC Loko players lined up at center ice and had one player run into the line to create a human domino effect.



Fast forward to 3:27 on the video to see them all go down one-by-one:




In fairness to the team, Lokomotiv did take part in the customary hand shake with the team they just toppled from the playoffs.

Boxer drops cell phone in ring ... during a fight (VIDEO)

Fighters usually enter a ring with little more than their trunks, gloves and the survival instincts gleaned from years of training in a gym.

Not so with Marvin Jones, who also came prepared with a cell phone — which promptly fell out of of his waistband during a light heavyweight fight against Ramon Luis Nicolas at the Turner Agri Center in Arcadia, Florida last weekend.



Watch the head-shaking moment below as the referee has to stop the fight during the first round to retrieve the gadget which fell out of his trunks onto the canvas.



Jones would have been better off packing horseshoes in his gloves. Nicolas won by a first-round knockout.

Now where's that selfie of Jones laid out on his back?

Mets bullpen cart and Yankee Stadium letters up for auction

On Wednesday night, Sotheby’s will auction off some Major League Baseball memorabilia, including a couple of iconic items from both the Mets and the Yankees.

The old bullpen cart from Shea Stadium and the 13 letters that once spelled out “Yankee Stadium” on the Bronx Bombers’ home will be put on the block by the world famous auction house.


The kitschy 1967 Mets bullpen cart, with its baseball-bat door frames, glove-and-ball headlights and oversized Mets cap, is still in perfect running order and could be yours for the right price.

Imagine wowing your friends on the links with that chick magnet.



And Reggie Jackson has put the 10-foot-tall illuminated blue letters that spelled out “Y-A-N-K-E-E S-T-A-D-I-U-M” on the former Bronx ballpark up for sale. Appraisers figure they should fetch between $300,000-$600,000.

But you still won't be able to spell A-R-O-D with them.


The cherished items are part of Sotheby’s The New York Sale, which begins at 8 p.m. 

Sicilian soccer match called after tunnel brawl leads to 13 ejections (VIDEO)

Italian soccer officials abandoned a game in Sicily after ejecting 13 players for brawling during the halftime tunnel walk and not leaving enough players to finish the game.



Players received lengthy bans after a lower-league game between Vittoria and Paterno descended into a wild, all-out brawl at half-time during the match — leaving two players injured.




The scene eventually calmed down and four players were tossed out for their roles but, once the second half kicked off, the bad blood returned and both teams were handed a 3-0 defeats for the game. The game was abandoned after the additional ejections left too few players to complete the match.

And the video shows what started as nothing more than a bit of shoves quickly escalates into a full-scale melee, with punches and kicks thrown.



The bans totaled 59 games for the 13 players involved.
