🙁 $1700 bucks to watch 8 innings of pure joy and then sh*t hitting the fan. Man, this sucks. 🙁

btw soon as that deflected the ball, they showed the replay. fans started to chant "a$$hole, a$$hole"...then second replay, fans started chanting "kick his aa-ass". <stomp, stomp stomp stomp stomp>. Then they stopped showing replays. i hope that guy is hit by a bus.

go cubs. 🙁

dude he was in the heat of the moment. heck he had headphones on, do you think he could put together that alou was right there and that was a crucial out for them in all of what 1 second of reaction? no that's asking way too much, i feel sorry for him.

that is like prime foul ball terrirtory, if you are sitting in the front row during a PLAYOFF CUBS game you'd think he'd have enough sense to watch the friggin play. it's like sitting in the emergency exit of a plane, if you can't perform your duty as requested-in this case, stay the hell out of the way-then dont sit in the front row!!!
 
oh i know. i went into my workplace (newspaper) and check the associated press wires after I got back from chicago tonight. there were six pictures on the wire showing that play, four of which clearly showed several fans around the guy reaching for the ball. However from what I could tell they were mostly outside of a two-seat radius. Meaning that if this guy had not screwed with it it would have been caught.
 
The fan interfering with the ball game destroyed the mood of the Cubs. He better hope they win Game 7 or he'll be known as the fan who costed the Cubs the series. Prior was on the dot until that happened!

I can see the web lighting up with fake MasterCard commercials of this. I wonder if SNL will do one. It's too easy to pass up.

"He's a good kid, a wonderful son, never in any trouble," Cohen told a Sun-Times reporter. "I don't think he should be blamed at all. People reach for balls. This just happened to be a little more critical. If Florida didn't score all the runs, you wouldn't be standing here."

Good point, hats off to FL hitting. I don't see what all the hubbub is about, it wasn't even going to end the inning...

I couldn't disagree more. Prior's fastball had lost 4mph, his curve was hanging, and if you remember they were starting to tee off on him during the 7th with some sharp line drives. Thankfully in the 7th those liners were hit right at people. Dusty kept him in far too long, he started the 8th on his 117th pitch I believe. However, every single person in that ballpark wanted Prior to finish it, to shut them down for good.

That guy didn't cost the Cubs the game, and in my opinion 99 out of 100 people would have done the exact same thing if the ball had basically fallen in their lap like that. However, my opinion won't stop the mass idiocy of blaming the series on one guy =)

I'll be down in Wrigleyville tonight to watch the Cubs turn this around and head to the series!!!

Cheers,

You're right, just about anyone would have reached over for that ball -- no one blames the ones that missed the ball. Well he's the scapegoat for the poor 8th inning plays. Alex Gonzales goofs a routine ground ball, etc. My prediction is Mark Redman beats Kerry Wood tonight and the Yankees finishes off the Red Sox. What a boring World Series this will be ... two teams I hate. 🙁

Or Baker's unfortunate decision not to warm up the bullpen when Prior hit 100, or even 110, pitches. 🙁
