Catch that ball will you?

The ump said it was out of bounds....but Im in awe a Cubs fan would *interfere* with a Cubs player to make an out.  

The kid got escorted out by security, according to the announcers.

They were trying hard not to blame the kid for doing what any fan would do....but he completely deflated the Cubs moral.  That could've been a 2nd out and things *may* have ended differently.

Be just as mad at the shortstop who cant catch.  It was painful to watch, in one inning, seeing the fan do what he did, the pitching fail, and the error by the shortstop.

It'll be interesting to see how they do tonight.

As for Boston...I'm a red sox fan, but I truly think NY is a better team and will win it.

lol Dune. Too true :)




"As soon as that fan touched the ball, I sat up and said to myself that this was the 'collapse'."

 Yup. You know it. The "fall" always comes along with a particular moment to lock it into people's minds. The Red Sox have yet to have thiers in the playoffs but they have one more game to do it in before they are knocked out and the Yankees go on to play the Marlins in the World Series.

 But that fans interference will be talked about for decades and that his name will be a cursed.  Like Bucky Dent, with his home run in 78, or Bill Buckner,  bobbled ball in 86, are for the Red Sox fans.

 I'll bet that Cubs "fan" will move, grow a beard and switch to contact lenses. Might even commit suicide for no one who is a Cubs fan will forget his face and he wil be ragged on till his dying day
