As if there weren't enough reasons to despise Chicago, now this. Just look
at how they're crucifying this poor sap, for doing what ANY fan would have
done in the heat of the moment.

Go Marlins!

Shouldn't be too hard - there aren't very many people who are at least 95 years
old.

To a pilot, altitude is like money - it is possible that having too much
could prove embarassing, but having too little is always fatal.

ABC news already published the fan's name and his neighbor's name. Not
to hard to use yahoo to figure out his home address and phone number.
They also published his work location. This guy better pray that they
win tonight or he's going to have to move to Florida.

It was just on the news that Governor Jeb Bush has tongue-in-cheek offered
the poor guy relocation and safe haven in Florida...

It's also on the news that one resort has seriously offered him three months
board if he needs to hide.

The Meigs Field Curse has already started.

After things were going so well, and Daley moved the troops in during
the dark of night to destroy the lovely little airport, it seems
Chicago is totally and completely screwed. Convention activity is
down (the McCormick center is adjacent to Meigs Field, wonder why
companies are resistent to coming to a downtown that is no longer
convenient); the White Sox were doing very well, just like Meigs, and
folded at the end; the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry built a
replica Wright Flyer...it didn't fly...just dribbled off the end of
the rail; the Cubs are playing at night, which because of the Meigs
Field Curse and Daley's nighttime evil, the Cubs will appear to be
doing well....

Except that at least 5 fans by my count did not. Look at the picture.
You have two dorks grabbing at the ball and a wall of people standing
back.

True -- but the Chicago Tribune reported today that even the folks in the
stands nearest to the "dork" admitted that NO ONE saw the player rushing to
make the catch -- he just appeared out of no where.

This is perfectly logical, given that everyone was looking UP at the ball,
as it was coming down on them at 80 mph. Many people tried to duck out of
the way, probably because they lost it in the lights.

Those who were able to follow the ball tried to catch it -- it's just human
nature.

The hysterical thing about it is that they are blaming this one fan for an
8-3 loss. There was only one out when the fan caught this foul ball anyway.
The Cubs lost because they gave away five extra points, not because a fan
caught a foul ball. Blaming a fan for "keeping the inning alive" when there
was only one out in the first place is incredible.

Got to disagree here, Jay. These people were sitting in the front row atop
an 8 or 9 foot wall --that's right in the play -- and it never occurred to
them that there might be a play made? I can't buy that. You see this kind
of play regularly in baseball. You get the hell out of the way,
particularly in a playoff environment (as most of the people around there
did).

What I don't understand is how can one fowl ball being "missed" result in 8
runs???? If that is all it took to make the Cubs lay down and die, they
shouldn't have been in the play offs to begin with. I'm I missing something
here. I love those Marlins :-) !!!!

Maybe their blaming this fan relates to much of society today - "It's not my
fault". Kinda like spilling hot coffee in your lap while your driving a car

The poor slob. He did what nearly everyone who goes to a ball game
wants to do: catch a ball hit during the game. The problem was, it
was 3 - 0 favor the Cubs at the time of this foul ball, there were two
outs and this would have been the third.

The Cubs fielder had his glove on the ball, but the kid's grab for it
interfered just enough that the ball wasn't caught. With two outs
facing them, the Marlins went on to score 8 runs and win the game.

Sorry, but professonal baseball teams with world series aspirations
HAVE to be able to get out number three if they are really contenders.
The ball was literally in an out of play area so the kid did not do
anything wrong. That's why no interference was called.

His life must be a monumental nightmare right now. Helicopters are
circling his house and he's had numerous death threats.

Yeah, believe me. I was sitting in the upper deck of Yankee Stadium just behind and
to the right of home plate. A pop-up came down and landed in the seat next to me.
I just stared at the thing thinking "I could have been killed by that thing." The guy
behind me grabbed it.

That's not correct. There was only one out.

Nope, there was only one out at the time.

I was looking at a graphic that showed the number of outs at the time
of the incident, it said two outs. Guess it was in error.

Heck, I've almost been killed that way at my son's Little League games!

A pop fly foul ball into the sun is a bitch to see.

Don't forget out pathatic Bears. Let's see- we've got no offensive
line, no running game, out QB is running around like a chicken with
it's head cut off. Our run defense couldn't stop a peewee team from
averaging 5 yards a carry, and we have no pass-rush. Good news is we
have a good FG kicker.

Of course, they're playing in the eyesore on the lake, srongarmed into
existance by Dick Daley the same way as Miegs Field (after the last
fan left Soldier Field at the end of the 2001 playoff loss to
Philidelphia, the construction crews started tearing up the field,
even though there were still court cases pending over the legality of
the renovation)

On another note, The Fan doesn't need to go to Florida for safe haven.
South of Madison is just fine; not everyone in Chicago is a Cubs fan.
Most of us Sox fans just kind of chukeled after that one.

No, you aren't missing anything. Not anly are they so incompetent at the game
that they allow the other team to scoe 8 runs, they are immature enough to blame
it on their fans.

The Cubs lost because that is what they do. It is a tradition nearly 100
years old.

Reading some 1918 (hehehe on both teams this year) Cubs vs Boston World
Series history - it said the Cubs played their 1918 World Series Home games
at Comiskey Park, because it had more seats than Wrigley Field.
