    This game is a microcosm of the entire season.  I'm watching the game on an iPad, for the Rizzo play, the video lagged out, I missed it.  A fucking fan interfered?!  Wow.  
    Sure did. Rizzo was pissed too. This guy will be all over sports tv and radio. Especially if they lose. Get ready. 
    Just saw the replay.  That asshat has to be out of his fucking mind.  You've got to be fucking kidding me.  Honestly, any fan that didn't learn from 15 years ago, ought to be expecting witness protection.  
    Yep. And then he pulled the ball away like a kid taking his toy and going home. Douche.

    A fan didn’t interfere. Come on guys. The ball was in the stands. Should’ve never got to that situation.

    Rizzo 100% would have caught that ball if the fan backed away. Just saying.

    Let’s not go there. Cubs fans ruined a man’s life. Learn from mistakes.

    I hear ya man. And I’m not trying to ruin anyone’s life. Didn’t in 2003 either. I’m just calling what I see. And learning from mistakes goes two ways. Fans should learn from past mistakes as well in my opinion. If I’m sitting front row where there can potentially be a play on the ball, I’m mentally preparing before the game to back off on anything hit to me. If I’m wrong for having that mindset, so be it.

    And I just want to say something here...

    The amount of hatred, badmouthing, and often time utter disgust regarding the Cubs that has come from non-Cub fans these last 4 seasons is just absolutely astounding.  It's just utterly amazing how a team that has had a history of misfortune & shortcoming seems to get under the skin of so many people once they finally have some sot of continued success.  I really don't get it.  Seriously, what the fuck have the Chicago Cubs ever done to these people that just the sheer mention of anything good about the team makes their blood boil?  You don't see this scale of hatred & disgust for the Astros, the Indians, or the A's. You didn't see it for the Royals and Blue Jays who were in the ALCS just a couple years ago. You don't see it for the Nationals, the Brewers, the Rockies, or Diamondbacks.  And you really don't even see it for the Dodgers outside of Giants fans.  All of these teams have at least some recent history of not being very successful - at least in the postseason, if not at all together.  Yet these teams all get praise on a national scale now that they've either won or become perennial contenders.  I'm not saying everyone has to love the Cubs or become a fan.  But why all the hate??  I was absolutely elated for the Astros and Royals to win it all.  And even though they beat us in the NLCS, I was happy for the Dodgers that they made it back to the WS after a 30 year absence. And they gave us one of the best World Series I've ever witnessed with Houston last year.  I was happy we go to play the Indians 2 years ago because it meant someone was finally going to break a longstanding "curse."  Thank goodness we won, but if we would have lost, I'd have wanted it to be to the Indians.  It just makes me wonder, are people really that butt-hurt over the Cubs finally having some success that they are just hoping with every last breath to see them fall back into mediocrity again.  I mean, we have our own resident Cubs hater here, and for no good reason, especially given his team had a decades-long drought of their own.  I really just don't understand.  You'd think were the Yankees and have 26 titles they way people act about our team.  I mean, it honestly felt that, when we finally won it all, NO ONE was happy except Cubs fans and everyone else was fucking pissed.
    because it's fun to watch rich white people suffer man...even if it's just cubs fans. that's my answer and i'm sticking to it. enjoy beating the cardinals and breaking drunk white people's, living 90 minutes away, hearts.

    You're not wrong for having that mindset but it's also not wrong for the fan to want to catch a ball in the stands.  When you go to a game as a fan, you're expected to be on the lookout for foul balls for your own personal safety.  We all say we'd back off but until you're there, in the moment, you don't know what your knee jerk reaction might be. Bottom line is the game is played on the field, not in the box seats.  The fan didn't reach into the field of play and cause interference, he had every right to that ball.  Good on Rizzo for getting back to position and focusing on the next play instead of throwing a hissy fit like Moises Alou.  That was the most despicable, shameful moment in franchise history that night in 2003 from a player and fan standpoint and I will never not defend a fan trying to catch a ball out of the field of play.

    I really wish today's game was a day game. I've wanted all the games this week to hurry up and be over so I could just know the damn outcome.
