The Chicago tribune reports actor Jeremy Piven could not keep to the "script."
According to reporter Teddy Greenstein, "Chatting on the field before Sunday's Tigers-Cubs game, actor Jeremy Piven and Cubs marketing chief John McDonough discussed how Piven would incorporate his signature line into his singing of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
They came up with: "Hug it out, Cubs fans."
Piven forgot his lines, instead replicating what his Ari the agent character might say from HBO's "Entourage."
"Let's hug it out, you little bitches," he yelled to the crowd at Wrigley Field.
McDonough, while noting that Piven has been a loyal Cubs fan and friend to the team, was disappointed and issued an apology, according to Greenstein.
"I don't know if professional adrenaline took over, but we don't ever want to introduce profanity into the seventh-inning stretch," said McDonough. Last reports were fans were non-plussed by the event, according to polls taken on the Tribune's website.
