Still nobody ever talks about the shitty E-6 by Alex Gonzalez or whoever it was. You know, the guy who got paid to play baseball.

It's crazy how rare Gonzalez is mentioned with that Cubs meltdown. The guy booted a sure double play ball. Unreal how the media has hyped the whole Bartman thing. And now a whole documentary about it????

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!!!

I was at the Bartman game.

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.

he still stands

reading this thread is making me sick to my stomaj. :oops:

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

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.

rival.

wild pitch, double play error. cubs fans

that poor dude. i DVR'd the special, but do they make mention of where he is today? witness projection program? in hiding? still in illinois?
