Cubs play 'SMACK MY BI*** UP' after Chapman pitched


by - Senior Editor -

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated their rival Chicago Cubs 6-4 on Sunday night at Wrigley Field to split the 4-game series.

Reliever Aroldis Chapman pitched a perfect 9th inning and then Wrigley Field played the 1997 hit song "Smack my Bitch up" as he walked off the field.

The music selection was troubling with Chapman's recent suspension in October for a domestic violence incident where he choked his girlfriend and fired eight gunshots according to reports.

Chapman has a 1.80 ERA with 24 saves, 57 strikeouts, and a 0.75 WHIP. For his career, he has a 2.14 ERA with 170 saves, 603 strikeouts, and a 0.99 WHIP.

FYI: Here is the controversial song that was played on Sunday night at Wrigley Field.
