I read an interesting quote this morning in the Miami Herald where Grandpa Jack was saying "I don't think that was the turning point in the game."

I'm a Marlins fan but cmon I think everyone in the world saw that was a turning point. Alou makes that catch and now there are two outs, Cubs up 3-0. Everything from pitching to running to batting strategy changes. Fans get louder, the pressure on Prior is alot less.

Anyone who has watched sports knows momentum is spelled with a capital M, especially in pressure situations.

That kid is so fucked

I agree but why didn't you spell Momentum with a capital M?

The truth of the matter is that this play did change the course of this game. And in all honesty this poor guy is probably sitting at home. Hasn't slept all night and is just chomping at the bit all day for tonights game to get started so he can watch the Cubs win.

If the Cubs win tonight this will all be just a bad memory. If they do not. He should pack up all his shit and move to South FL and get a Job with the Marlins. Cause his life in Chicago is OVER.

He is saying "oh god, the ball is comming toward my head, oh geez im scared"

:1orglaugh

i love that fucker for doing exactly what every other mofo would have done had they been in that same spot :Graucho

GO MARLINS.

my thoughts exactly





we were about to hop a cab adn go party at the field before that happened, and then all hell broke loose.


gotta win tanight!

From the Cubs message board:


ATTENTION CUB FANS I HAVE GOOD NEWS








I JUST SAVED A BUNCH OF MONEY ON MY CAR INSURANCE BY SWITCHING TO GEICO

If this is what Cubs fans are made of then they are more candy assed little bitches then I ever imagined. Dont blame your teams choke on an excited fan. Don't try and sell your bullshit momentum stories here. It doesn't fly. If one fan trying to get a souvenier was enough to rattle one of your ace pitchers, your bullpen, and your short stop then you deserve to lose.

I am a Red Sox fan and not once, not ever have I blamed Bill Buckner. You need to grow up and place the blame where it is deserved on the players that choked.

Your not the atypical Red Sox fan then. Hell, Buckner had to move because his kids were getting beat up regularly at school after that series. Everytime choking in the playoffs is mentioned, Buckner's name is referenced.

What everyone in Boston did was just as inexcusable as what will more than likely happen to this poor guy. The Buckner debacle was in Game 6 just like last night. What people choose not to remember is that the game was already tied. If he makes the play the Sox dont win they go to extra innings. And they just like the Cubs have a game 7 to win. They didn't. They were weak mind pussies that did not deserve to win. If the Cubs can't win with Kerry Wood then they dont deserve to win either. To place two lost games on one fan will be more inexcusable than what happened in Boston.

like u wouldnt have stuck your hand out to catch a ball in the series?

:1orglaugh

If I remeber right

Buckner just made the most glaring mistake

The score was tied before he did that, despite what everyone says now that wouldn't have won the series for the Sox

but not to change the subject on the thread, smart fans know, interfere if it's your home team at the plate and get out of the way and let your team make the catch.

Oh damn WG.

I'm wondering if they escorted him out of the stadium or took him off somewhere to beat his ass.

Poor guy though, he'll never live it down :)
WG

Hi Kat! LOL, According to smoking gun, he didn't reply to his office voice mails, his home phone line has been disconnected... sounds like he's been taken care of :)

WG

damn thats rough. One minute enjoying self at a baseball game, then pretty much having to move to a new city for reaching for a ball that was coming at him.

Here is another quote form ESPN

I know mister, to be honest my heart goes out to him. His life is forever altered and i have a real bad feeling for his future. I am glad we won, but i don't want anyone to get hurt either :(

same thing happened to the orioles vs. the yanks....

As I've heard he was escorted by Security to an off limits area, changed his clothes and ferried off site before the rabid fans calling for his head had a chance to rip him to pieces...

Link hotten-ed

I'm sure the witness relocation program can get some business from this guy :)

WG

:1orglaugh

As long as he stays out of North America or the Carribbean.

Right on WG! LOL ROFL

Everyone just needs to calm the fuck down. One more day isn't going to kill the Cubs or us die-hard fans. The punk-ass, green turtleneck wearin' "fan" will just slink on back to the South side (I'm assuming) incognito for a hellish life where he will eventually be recognized and beaten. Kerry Wood will be ON tonight and the party will commence the world over, which will only be dwarfed by the real blow-out once the Cubs win the World Series.

Let's play one!

Holy Cow! Hey! Hey! Cubs Win! Cubs Win! :Kissmy

you wanna lynch someone, lynch gonzales for dropping that inning ending double play ball, had he not dropped that the kid issue would have never arose

like any of you people wouldnt have gone for that ball

Let's hope you're right.

lol,he's ASS OUT

The apology of the fan:

"There are few words to describe how awful I feel and what I have experienced within these last 24 hours.

I've been a Cub fan all my life and fully understand the relationship between my actions and the outcome of the game. I had my eyes glued on the approaching ball the entire time and was so caught up in the moment that I did not even see Moises Alou, much less that he may have had a play.

Had I thought for one second that the ball was playable or had I seen Alou approaching I would have done whatever I could to get out of the way and give Alou a chance to make the catch.

To Moises Alou, the Chicago Cubs organization, Ron Santo, Ernie Banks, and Cub fans everywhere I am so truly sorry from the bottom of this Cubs fan's broken heart.

I ask that Cub fans everywhere redirect the negative energy that has been vented towards my family, my friends, and myself into the usual positive support for our beloved team on their way to being National League champs."

Associated Press
CHICAGO -- The fan who played in a key role in the Chicago Cubs' collapse in Game 6 of the NL championship series apologized Wednesday, saying he was brokenhearted.


With the Cubs five outs from advancing to the World Series for the first time since 1945, Steve Bartman tried to grab a foul ball, preventing outfielder Moises Alou from catching it. That helped the Florida Marlins rally for an 8-3 victory to tie the NL championship series Tuesday night.


"I had my eyes glued on the approaching ball the entire time and was so caught up in the moment that I did not even see Moises Alou, much less that he may have had a play," Bartman said in a statement.


"Had I thought for one second that the ball was playable or had I seen Alou approaching, I would have done whatever I could to get out of the way and give Alou a chance to make the catch."


The 26-year-old Bartman was escorted by security guards from Wrigley Field after he was threatened by angry fans and pelted with debris.


Bartman apologized to Cubs fans everywhere, adding he was "truly sorry from the bottom of this Cubs fan's broken heart."


"I ask that Cub fans everywhere redirect the negative energy that has been vented towards my family, my friends, and myself into the usual positive support for our beloved team on their way to being National League champs," Bartman said.



now the kid's crying...too fucking late moron:mad: :ak47:
