haha i sent the pic to my friend on aim that lives in chicago....

*Mikey: the kid who caused that
*Mikey: is on my cousins softball team
*Mikey: STEVE BARTMAN
bmk 6000: how old is he?
*Mikey: 23

Look at the flamer in the background, backwards blue hat, he loooks like he's going to cry.

That was NOT A KID, he is a grown man and deserves to die. He fucked his own team. Just openly bent the Cubs over a table and didn't even give 'em the reach around. FUCK HIM. I hope he doesn't make it out of Wriggleyville in one piece. I called my friend at the game and made sure he was given out a description of that son of a bitch.

God Bless that guy for doing what 999/1000 other fans at a game would do if a pop fly were hit their way.

GO FISH!!!

Ball was over the stands, everyone of you would have gone for it out of instinct. Cubs simply could not get anyone out in the 8th.


Unfortunatly, the guy is going to get some serious shit if cubs lose game 7.

OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!

Clearly the kid in the backward blue hat in the background is the female of that couple.:1orglaugh

Not me, Once I saw Alou had a shot at the ball I would of knocked those pricks back on their ass

instinct can get you killed.
yet another reason to buy cheap seats..........

yeah im sure they got time to strategize when a baseball is flying at them at high speeds.

fiddy

There's Plenty of time to get out of the way of a fly ball that's hit that high and deep. All he had to do was NOT go for it. What part about a Fly Ball Don't you understand?

the Fly part is what throws me, I mean its still a ball, so why do they call it a fly?

grr, these play on words!

so hes supposed to keep an eye in the air for a fly ball coming down on him and also look down to see if any players are going for the ball?

Is it true the kids name is Billy Goat! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The fan was the spark. That is exactly what I am arguing.

so what actually happened

According to CNN the guy was 26 years old.

"To add to the hurt, that fan who kept Alou from catching the ball hit by Luis Castillo and kept the rally going was wearing a Cubs hat. Once the Marlins broke loose, people around the 26-year-old fan starting hurling beers in his direction and he was escorted out by security with a jacket over his face."

does the culprit look familiar?

HAHAHA

:thumbsup

I KNEW IT!!!!!!!!!

If that guy had a job, he's been fired.
If that guy has family, he's been disowned.
And lastly, he just signed a death warrant with every fan in the city. He better leave as soon as possible before his name/address are publicly released :)

WG

no he kept Alou from Cubs from catching the ball

I flipped on WGN the moment the game ended to see thier post-game wrap up on the local (Chicago) news...they showed "exclusive video" of the guy being escorted out of the stadium by security. The guy is about 5' 1" and judging by the video tape of him leaving, he's about to be 6' under.

People were throwin programs, beverages, you name it - in his direction. People were shoving the security trying to get at the guy. The guy himself kept pulling his jacket over his face to try and hide...too late.

It wasn't called interference...it may or may not have been. But if the guy reached over the wall and touched the ball it was interference. And looking at the pics/vids...that's a real close call. Someone with some hi-tech 3-d rendering program will surely draw planes, lines and graphs in the very near future to fuel the controversy. Either way...the guy was likely a Cubs fan. He likely lives in Chicagoland area. His life is forever altered by this event. And...though I live in Florida and love the Marlins...I love the Cubbies more and always will.

This play undoubtedly changed the entire game. Who knows what would have happened if the ball was caught. Would the error have happened? Would the next batter have struck out? No one will ever know. The one thing I am fairly certain of is that we haven't heard the last of the guy who may have very well changed the fate of the Cubs' season. Whether it's an ass whipping or worse...this guy will be heard from again. That's Chicago man...I lived there. I have seen terrible things happen to people for a lot less!

I hope he lives in mental torment for many years to come - but in all honesty...I hope he stays safe.

Of course. :) It was late at night when I typed that.

I'm surprised he wasn't killed before leaving the stadium. Having grown up in that neighborhood and having worked at both Cubby Bear and Sluggers right across the street from Wirgley Field I can tell you drunken Chicago fans can be dengerous. I've seen people beaten half to death on the street after a game for far less.

heh, look at that chinese guy on the left of the guy that touched the ball. Now that is owned.

He looks like the only smart guy in the picture. Everyone else is reaching for the ball. He knew if he touched it his ass was beat. :( :( :(

Blame it on the rain!!!! Blame the short stop for the bobbled easy ground out and the pitcher is to blame for all the pitches that got roped by the marlins, point blank

Shouldn't you be begging for traffic right now?

So English football fans are not the only sport hooligans in the world :glugglug

I don't watch baseball, and I don't care about baseball, but I must say....
What a bunch of pussies! If that one play caused a so-called "professional" ball team to lose a game, then they deserve to lose the next one too!! That guy is taking the fall for a group of inadequate fucks who choked!!
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

is CJ in Chicago?

The same thing happened in NY a few years back. Some little kid reach out and caught the ball. The Yankees won the game the the series turned at that point. The kid was a hero, on the cover of all the papers including the New York Times.

Atlanta.

A voice of reason.:winkwink:

exactly beemk, no one is thinking about that.

look at the other guy, reaching for the ball too.
they want a souvenir.

its the curse of the Billy Goat.

cubs and redsox are both cursed, I really am starting to believe it.
