It seems like the Cubs are so in love with their futility streak that they can't let go of it. Boston seems to suffer from the same disease, though they seem to prefer choking in the World Series. My condolences to Cubs fans, I know what it's like to cheer on teams that never quite make it to the championship (or the playoffs for that matter). Yes, I'm a Detroit fan.

I really feel sorry for those poor Cubbies fans. It was kind of tragic to read the posts here put up during that game when I already knew the final score.
Maybe next year.

****ing Chicago Sun Times.
I can't believe the stunt they pulled to sell a few more papers. They published that poor guys name, address, phone number, email, place of work, and the team he is a little league coach of.
His life is now RUINED, Yes, the guy was a moron for trying to catch the ball, but still, the Sun Times is endangering this guys life by posting that information.

I totally agree. That is real scum journalism on their part, and would be shameful behaviour even for our no-morals gutter press over here.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

If Cubs fans want to single out one person from that game who "cost them the pennant" then it should be Gonzalez, not some poor schmuck in the stands. The umps didin't even rule it 'fan interference' for christ's sake!If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

My condolences to all the Cubs fans. Though I have no idea what this game is all about, I realize that the Cubs, and Sox are two teams with a great history ( of not winning stuff), and a large following, so a match-up between them in the 'world' (
) series would be cool.

As a non-US person I was not aware that the Chicago Sun-Times is well known for this sort of stuff. I suppose the name should have been a clue.If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.Comment

Nope...especially if they're catholicBut amazingly, Alou was more understanding of the basic instinct that causes people like this to reach for baseballs when there should be a voice in their heads telling them, "NOOOOOOO."
"They don't go to school," Alou said, "to be taught what balls not to touch."
