The way people reacted would make you think he shot Alou to get the ball. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

As far as Steve Bartman goes I think the Cubs organization should make a public apology to him & settle out of court, if I was him I would be sueing their a#&es off. I mean come on, trying to blame that guy for them not winning & going on to the world series, they havent been there in over 50 years or won it in over a hundred if I'm correct, maybe if Steve bartman would have drug his a#& out of the stands & hit a few homers for 'em they would have won too. I think it's sad and pithetic for him to be used as a scape-goat but thats just my opinion. -------------- I have seen the enemy.....and it is me. Mojo_67
bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/10/16, 10:33 PM Yeah, personally, I feel sorry for the kid. Geez, he was doing what we all dream of from kids on when we go to the ballpark. I have been to ballgames all my life, and have never come close to the opportunity to snag a baseball. I would have been watching that ball all the way too and not thinking of what was happening down below. There were alot of outstretched arms if you look at the replay, he just happened to be the one to get to it. The way the Cubs came unraveled after that is their own fault. What, bring a relief pitcher in who has been heating up hard and ask him to walk two guys? And the bobbled play at shortstop? This is why the Cubs lost...besides the curse of the goat of course. -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2003/10/17, 11:25 AM Hehe yeah, it's not his fault the cubs suck.... Just another "scapegoat". Next thing you know they will be blaming him for not making it to the world series for the last 50 years. Hehe. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do.

bb1fit Posts: 11,105 Joined: 2001/06/30	2003/10/17, 01:11 PM LOL...I can see it now, no more curse of the goat, from now on it will be curse of Steve Bartman!! -------------- Great people never want it easier, they just want to be better! Ron
azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2003/10/17, 04:18 PM I didn't think he caught it, I thought he knocked it back into play??? -------------- ~Victoria~ ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
borpillicus Posts: 454 Joined: 2003/03/13	2003/10/17, 05:45 PM No, he caught it. It looked like Alou would jump and catch it but Steve got it first. But because the ball was technically in the stands, it was not an interference.

fryer91 Posts: 441 Joined: 2003/09/29	2003/10/20, 09:13 AM Living in Illinois, listening to the Cub fans complain, and place blame; has been very interesting to say the least. Cub fans are oblivious to the Error that was made by the shortstop, and the bad throw that Sosa made. Poor kid! He should take a trip to Florida; maybe we can get Gatormade to put him on a 3 month training program..Maybe not; THAT IN ITSELF WOULD PROBABLY KILL HIM!!! Tough question, but I would have to go with "A"...
