When Chicago musician Ted Wulfers got fired from last night performance at Friday's Front Row Grill inside Miller Park, it wasn't because he was a bad singer. In fact, he's such a good singer that he's been invited to sing on multiple occasions in Milwaukee, including having a go at the national anthem earlier this season.

So why would Milwaukee can the guy on its big night?

He's a Cubs fan. Or, at least that's the impression Brewers fans get when sings Steve Goodman's "Go Cubs Go" to a crowd of disappointed Milwaukeeans.

The last time Wulfers appeared at Miller Park, he decided to do just that, singing the Cubs' fan song after a Chicago victory over the Brewers.

The locals, of course, weren't charmed and, apparently, unforgiving. Wulfers was "uninvited" to Sunday night's game last week, according to the Chicago Tribune.
