It's a "bunch" of sour grapes, not "case." The saying comes from an Aespo's fable The Fox and the grapes. The fox couldn't reach the grapes, so he walked away trying to convince himself he didn't want them by saying they were sour. The fox never encountered a "case" of grapes. btw I heard Aesop was a MU fan, yeah it's one of his favorite Greek letters. :p:
