Cubs Lester can't get ball out of glove, throws mitt at Rizzo

It's been a wacky weekend at Wrigley Field.

First, a Cubs fan caught a foul ball in her drink and proceeded to chug the rest of her beer (another fan apparently accomplished the same feat in Sunday's rubber match between the Cubs and Padres). Then, Jon Lester had an odd situation happen during his start on Sunday. Clint Barmes hit a grounder back to Lester, who tried to start up a double play. But the ball was stuck in Lester's glove and he couldn't get it out. So heroically, Lester tossed his glove to Rizzo, who flung his glove off so he could catch Lester's, to get the out.
