Man I remember that day like it was yesterday...feel bad for bartman. As a cub fan i was pissed but am smart enough to know it was the players on the field who didnt get the job done. The error by gonzo was bigger. I have always felt that. Prior and the rest of the staff didnt get the job done. The bats, game 5,6, and 7 went silent. I Dont buy into the curse bullshit..and Im greek!!
Espn failed to mention that alou used to piss on his hands before games...i know its irrelavant in the bartman story but the story should be told!!!
Everything that they said in Catching Hell about the crowd was true. You could feel all of the hope sucked out of the stadium after the foul ball. The crowd was stunned into silence after the 8th inning. People were even leaving the game early - even when the Cubs still had 6 outs let. Imagine how stupid those people would have felt if the Cubs would have come back.

Bartman got a raw deal.
Yea I was down the street at a friends house doing some shots as we were about to walk down to the park when all hell broke loose that inning. Needless to say we stayed put.

It was insane at Wrigley that night. The streets were packed with people and the police were getting the riot gear ready.
I still remember the boxes of Chicago Cubs World Series t-shirts that were stacked in the merch booths right before the 8th inning.

that was an interesting shot with all the horse mounted police. i wonder if Alou has spotted any of those shirts in teh Dominican Republic since those unused shirts typically get donated to poor parts of the world. hmmm
yea it was a good special..the only point i felt bartman looked scared was in the tunnel before they covered him up. That security guard lady said it best when she said he was the perfect scapegoat. I also liked how fox before the next game circled everyone that attempted to catch the ball. Anyone who says they would not have gone after that ball in his excact spot is b.s.

who was the guy next to him..looney i think it was...anyways, he says when he saw alou coming he pulled his hands back, but if you look at the vid...he was still reaching up for it. now the guy to Bartmans left did pull his hands back.
i found it interesting that he was there with 2 friends and they weren't able to switch seats to sit beside one anouther. seems like it would have been an easy trade with the couple between them. weird.

It seemed like in the immediate aftermath everyone rationally pointed to Gonzalez's error and to everyone else trying to catch the ball. It's in the years since that the lazy media has turned into this poor guy wrecking their whole season. Nobody ever talks about Wood sucking in Game 7 either.
That was perhaps the most unbelievable inning I've ever seen.

Theo to the Cubs??
Who gives a fuck? Thats gonna change things?
PLEASE!!!!
The Cubs are nothing but a fucking disease.
They will always be nothing but a fucking disease........
Next year could/should...and WILL be worse than 2011......
Soriano is a piece of shit...
Soto and his .210 batting average can go fuck himself....
Marmol is another head case....
Who is going to play 1st??
Ramirez is leaving?? Who is going to play 3rd??
Who the fuck is playing right field?
Byrd is decent...But
Barney had a decent rookie season....But he sure looks a lot like Theriot.....Who wasnt good enough for the Cubs....
Zambrano should be given his release papers TODAY!!!!!
The fucking disease known as the Cubs.....May lose 100 games next year....
Take me piece by piece..... Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
psstt.next year is cubs year...after my night visit there...the got the winner guts..
"...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
"..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
“..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”
you are crazy...i would let aram walk. you're not gonna compete in the next 3 years. guy doesn't play hard and imo, isn't a great teammate. i'd rather go find a journyman 3rd baseman for a couple of seasons or see what is in the minors.....unless of course, you can get a trade clause put into his contract.
otherwise, it would be like giving 10M to a first baseman for one year....waste of money.

Yea I would let arimis go..he will prolly find his way down to miami with zambrano to play with ozzie.
Sorianos contract is done right? The cubs need so much I dont even know where to start. Its gonna be a long way back to the playoffs for them.

It's even worse knowing that they have ZERO chance of being good next year.

Soto....the modern Jerome Walton.
Did Aramis even play third the last couple of years.
the next gm better have a solid 3-5 year plan.

Give him 3 years at whatever you have to give him...
Thats just me....
Without his offense....
This team could lose 120 games....
But I get the point that with him....
This team can still lose 100 games...
But if it were me...
I would give him a 3 year deal....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
otherwise, it would be like giving 10M to a first baseman for one year....waste of money.
I dont think soto is banging sandbergs wife like walton did!!
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
Please use all your energy to help Olympiakos win some champions league games!!!
