As soon as I saw that happen I knew the Cubs were doomed. No matter what happed with the fan how do you give up 8 runs at home, during one of the most important games in Cubs history?
Yesterday I was hopeful; today I am........measuredly hopeful.
C'MON CUBBIES!!!!!!!!!!!!
yea idiots ruined the game... :angry: :angry:
That didn't cost them the game. 8 runs in the 8th inning cost them the game.Quote:

What inning was it when the fan messed up the game?
I would hate to be that guy today. He will never be able to live that down if the Cubs don't make it to the World Series.
But what would you have done if you were in that situation? In the heat of the moment of an exciting game would you pass up an opportunity to catch a foul ball? If I was there I probably would have reacted the same way.
My thoughts exactly. It sucks that it happened, but can you really blame him?Quote:

:angry: i blame him fully. i would have hit him in the head with the veer bottle instead of just pour it on him
Bottomline is the Cubs gave up 8 runs in the 8th inning.
1 out does not a ball game make.
Instead of telling us what you would do to him, why don't you say what you would have done in his situation.Quote:

The foul ball is hit, it heads right for you, this is your chance to catch a fly ball. Do you really think you would notice the guy 8 feet below you about to jump up and try to catch it to? If a ball is heading into the stands, everyone's eyes are on the ball, not the players.
If you still think that you wouldn't have done the same thing, then I guess you aren't as susceptable (SP?) to excitement as most people are.
There is also the safety issue, the ball was only a few feet in front of him, you would be mighty stupid to ignore a baseball that is heading straight for you, your instinct would keep you from paying antention to the players.
If you want to blame someone, blame the ref that said that it wasn't a fan interference. Nobody seems to be complaining about the call.
Oh, and I would still like to know what inning this happened in.
8th inning
god damn anybody who thinks it was the fan's fault is an idiot.
EVERYBODY would try to catch that ball, he just happened to be there.
Its a disgrace that anybody would blame the game on him.
do you really think you would not try to catch it?
Its not fan interference, it was a FOUL ball. Fair Game.
now stfu :angry:
The sad part is that the fan had to escorted out of the stadium with loads of security for his own safety.
I have been a baseball fan all my life and I have never gotten an opportunity to catch a foul ball. I would have done the same thing.
well said, this is not like what happened with the Yankees several years ago, the fan did not reach over the wall. I mean hell, I would love to blame a fan for Tampa Bays 4 qtr implosion against the Colts on someone too.... but the only people responsible is what is supposed to be the #1 defense in football choking.
;) Ok ok.I will admit...the fan had nothing to do with them giving up 8 Runs. :rolleyes:
But look at what all the Marlins was saying after the Game.....
“ Mike Redmond turned to me and said, 'OK, let's make that kid famous.' ”
— Derrek Lee, Marlins 1B, on the play in which a fan interfered with Cubs LF Moises Alou
“ We'll be talking about that guy for a long time. We need to send that guy a box of chocolates. ”
— Mike Mordecai, Marlins infielder
:) And I love this one.....
"I see what people do for a baseball," Conine said. "They fall on their face. They drop their kids. They spill their beer. They'd do anything for a $10 baseball."
-Florida's Jeff Conine
:D Only in America will we drop our kids on their heads over what might sell for a couple hundred thousand.And I am an American so that gives me a right to Bitch on a Forum and to laugh as People Pour Beer all over this stupid Cub Fan! :P ..... :D
FC B)
Meet Steve Bartman. He's the poor 26-year-old Chicago Cubs fan who last night got his hands on that foul ball headed for outfielder Moises Alou's mitt. Bartman, who attended the University of Notre Dame, works for a Chicago-area consulting firm and serves as coach for a local youth baseball program. We wanted to speak with Bartman about last night's incident, but he did not return messages left on his office voicemail. And when we dialed Bartman up at his apartment--about three miles from Wrigley Field--we got a recorded message saying that his number had been disconnected. Which is probably not a bad idea

i dont understand that reply.
If you would kick this guys ass for trying to get a foul ball, then obviously you've NEVER been to a baseball game. it is INSTINCT to go for that ball, you're looking UP not dow at the player
Quote:
Alou, who felt he could have caught the ball against the wall, defended the fan, saying, ``I feel sorry for the guy. Every fan in every ball park goes for the ball.''
from the player HIMSELFQuote:
"I kind of feel bad for the guy. Every fan in every ballpark, the first reaction they have is they want a souvenir. They don't think about the outcome of the game or what could happen. Unfortunately, it happened. Hopefully, he won't have to regret it for the rest of his life."
-- Moises Alou
i concour if mlb really is concerned about this continuing to happen they need to do something to stop it like slanted fences so they cant reach over ... who knows
Lifelong Cub fan here and two things are true:
1. It is instinct to catch the ball.
2. The Cubs blew it. Not a fan trying to catch a fuckin FOUL ball.
They blew it....tis be a sad day.
tis very sad - :(
well... its no ones fault its done GAME OVER
All I have to say about that game is FUCK!
i dont understand that reply.Quote:

first of all i have been to a game... and look at the pic... see how every1 is moving back and he is the only one trying to get it... and if ur not in favor of cubs get out of this thread...
Etasy that is a stupid comment it goes both ways you have to look at it from both perspectives not just from a cubs fans and if u look again there are 3 hands going for the ball and everyone else is backing up cause they dont wanna get hit by the ball not in benifit of alou
how did this ruin the game? did he stop the player dude from catching it?Quote:
