What a crappy deal.
That poor kid who tried to get that foul ball... was that Alou's hit?
What a turnaround today. I started the day thinking we still had a chance to see the best World Series in years, now I'd bet the Yanks are going to play the Marlins.
Bummer.
It really did look like the kid blew the catch. The Cubby jinks is still alive and well. Too bad. I'm rootin for them. We use to be able to see into Wrigley Field from our apartment, on the near north side.
i can't believe that selfish little brat who calls himself a cubs fan knocking that ball away from alou that would have made pudge out! That right there cost us the game. SON OF A BITCH. I cannot believe that. Selfish little brat calls himself a cubs fan. I hope he never wears the hat again.
That fan didnt give up 8 runs in one inning by himself. Yeah he fucked up but the ball was over the seats and he was probably just thinking about how cool it would be to get a ball from the game the cubs won the pennant.
Though taking a vacation for a few days might not be a bad idea for him.
I love that pic. Does anybody know the details about where it was taken?Quote:
He's doomed. 20 years from now they'll be doing a "where is he now" thing on Chicago TV, or even People magazine.Quote:

Remember Jeffrey Maher? He stole a home run from the Orioles at Yankee Stadium during the playoffs a while ago. He's a star in NYC.
I'd say you can bet he's movin to Florida on the next flight...stoopid shyte! What I'd like to know is, why the usless Umpire who coulda called fan interfearance was standed 20 ft out into left field!
Techincally if its in reach, its fair game for the fan. But that still makes him a stupid shit for trying it.Quote:

I was all excited for a Red Sox-Cubs Series matchup. Now it's looking like it could be Yankees-Marlins. Talk about a snoozer. Come on Cubs, give us something to cheer for!
I gotta say, though, that I don't blame the kid, really. He's young, and just wanted the ball. I bet he didn't even see Alou. Still sucks, but the kid didn't loose the game. How about Alex Gonzalez blowing the double play?
And, check out this quote from Alou:
Quote:
"Fans, they don't go to school to be taught what balls to touch and what balls not to touch," said Alou, who was upset at the souvenir-seeking fans. "Things like that happen."
"Fans, they don't go to school to be taught what balls to touch and what balls not to touch,"

Izzat Andy?!?:eek:
Yeah, it's tough to lay it all on fan. Gonzales did blow an easy play. Prior had two crappy pitches to Pudge and Lee, and oh, they gave up three runs with two outs. They choked.
I betcha there's already a line at Vegas on whether or not the kid makes it out of school alive today.Quote:

As much as I'd like to claim that's a VT original I doubt that it is. I've seen several variations of it for other schools.Quote:

Looks like Ben Stiller in disguise.
Whoever it is should be publicly flogged, humiliated and hung.
I'm not a "fan" of Chicago, but I feel their pain. We had Buckner, they've got THIS idiot.
:rolleyes:
it would suck to be in that guys shoes today. a life changing moment for sure.
8-3. Not like it was a close game, or anything.
Didn't take long for the info on this guy to get out.

I don't think this is the 15 minutes of fame he wanted.
26???!!
Hmmmm......doesn't look like the type to open up the ladies eyes as he saunters down the street. But, you know, this can get him laid, if he works it right.
And it just got far worse...
Bambino's got nuthin on that billygoat..:eek:
i have a serious question for all of you. I consider myself an adrenaline sport kind of guy. I get really bored doing/watching things that are not either incredibly strenuous (crew) or life-threatening. That is one of the attractions of skiing for me.
So how can you all not just watch, but LOVE something as slow as baseball? (note the use of the word 'slow' not 'boring')
It's a little bit having played a bit of it growing up, and really enjoying that (although I gave it up for other sports by HS). But it's mostly, for me, what you'd probably think of as cultural. Every summer I used to watch the Red Sox on the little black and white TV in the kitchen, and got used to rooting for them. When you get into baseball you realize how complicated the game really is, and how much is going on both near and away from the ball that makes it interesting. The slow pace is part of it.
But regular season games that don't mean much, and don't involve the Red Sox, I don't usually get into (unless I'm there in person).
You ever been to a MLB game?
No, I remember Jeffrey Maier.Quote:

Typical Yankees fan, jocking some guy whose name he doesn't even know.
Watching the last two Cubs games, one observation. These people were wildly celebrating in the streets and in the stands when they got a third-inning lead, like they had just won the game.. In both games. Bad move. We RedSox fans have learned the hard way you don't start the celebration before that last out is recorded. Period. (SEE: 1986 1978 1975 1967 etc. etc. etc.)
That explains the mayhem and burning of cars after Oakland went down.Quote:

I'm talking about in the middle of a game, BP - and that was just a handful of drunk kids, not Red Sox Nation
