Next Round's on Shane

Since Pedro Martinez was off-the-charts charming in his post-game press conference Wednesday night - talking about his late father, calling a reporter "dumb" and calling himself an "old goat" - it was tough to find room to discuss the incident that took place in his last inning of work, when Shane Victorino was doused with an adult beverage while camping under a fly ball near the left-center bleachers.

Victorino made the catch... but also caught a hatful of Old Style Light.

He declined to talk about it after the game, but discussed the matter prior to Thursday afternoon's game at Wrigley.

Both Victorino and the Chicago Cubs have filed complaints with the Chicago Police Department, according to Cubs chairman Crane Kenney.

"It’s not so much that I want to press charges or file anything against him, but he’s probably at home thinking, 'I got away with it,'" Victorino said. "So I hope he gets the understanding that you can’t be doing stuff like that. if it happened in the streets, I don’t think he would be walking too far with something like that happening in the streets. It's just not something you do.

"The big picture to me is the guy should be held accountable, something should be done. Whether it be (the police), Wrigley, I don’t care. Just something should be done."
