Baseball League Championship Series

Man, you Cubs fans must have some serious psychological damage from watching the Cubs lose so much. There is still one last game (to lose), with your ace on the mound. One more game means one more chance. And as for that fan, you can't tell me that you see a foul ball and you wouldn't try to catch the ball. Whose got time to think when you can catch a foul ball? Isn't that part of the experience?

The guy who fumbled the ball in the play after it was more of a failure than the fan. He could've easily made a double play... but nooo.

I saw that when I was watching the Cubs play yesterday. That made me mad, that bastard.

But it seems the goat curse will live on if the Cubs don't win tonight.

idon't blame just that one guy. Look at the cubs shortstop, he droped the ball on a standard play and plus while Bernie Mac was singing, Prior was sitting there doing nothing for about 20 min and with that cold, he just screwed himself in not warming up. It was a team effort that the cubs lost so don't blame just one simple thing, anyways once it's past the fence the fans are allowed to get the ball and nobody in that section noticed Alou was comming up becuase they were all looking at the ball...simple Mistake.....

Well i have only one thing to say to the Cubs:

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

The Billy Goat Curse Lives!

Sure, on a line drive.

But that was a POP UP!

A FRIGGEN POP UP!

The guy's already had death threats, and the Rod Blagovoiach (IL's Gov) said something like "If that guy ever commits a crime in Illinois he's not getting a governors pardon"

I don't want him dead, I just want him to get a tattoo across his skull in about 17 different languages that reads:

"I'm the assclown that cost the Cubs the pennant in 2003"

--------
I had a group of friends, that were watching the game together (I wasn't with them) and in the 6th, with the score 1-0 cubs, they said "**** it, lets go down there" left for wrigley, cubs made it 2-0 when they were on the way. They parked 4 blocks away while they got down to Clark and Addison they hear it's 3-0, as they're walking down Clark towards Waveland they see the "3" go up.

They're not there two minutes.

"4"
"7"
"8"

My buddy said it was the worst night of his life. I don't doubt it.
-------------

This whole year, there's been two Kerry Wood's. One of them shows up and walks 6 guys in 5 innings, the other one is a Roger Clemmens in his prime. If we get the good Kerry, we can win it tonight.

But I still think we're ****ed.

Then again, This team had to go to 5 to beat atlanta, and didn't clinch the division until the second to last day of the season. Nothing has come easy for the 03 Cubs and the universe owes us one so maybe, just maybe.

Nothing has come easier to the Marlins either. Actually when you look at it the Marlins had it harder the this year (even though the cubs have had it hard for the past years.)

But one factor that may not decide the game. The Marlins have no prussure on them. No one expected them to get this far so they have no expectation and no pressure on them. But the Cubs...all of Chicago and most of the nations is looking at their every move with a nasty eye.

But we'll see very soon.....

The Cubs just ****ing lost, no world series for them which just sucks.

mickydaniels · 10-16-2003, 08:12 AM

Nothing more to say.

The Duggler · 10-16-2003, 11:50 AM

Shut up stonecutter! You would have done the exact same thing. The plays are meant to be done on the field, not in the stands, you can't blame the poor guy. And look, he's not the only one going for it.

Stonecutter · 10-16-2003, 04:32 PM

Blow me, Ranzid.

I've sat that close before, in almost that exact same spot (I sat just a little closer to the bullpen) and my first conscious thought after I sat down was to make sure I didn't get to close to something that someone had a chance to catch, for either team. On a line drive it's instinct to get your hand/glove up if for no other reason than to protect yourself. On that play he had pleanty of time to look at the ball, and then NOTICE that there's a chance for alou to catch it.

I do feel sorry for the guy, because he shouldn't have to deal with death threats for what he did, but he's still a moron.
