I want a gif of the latest bullpen dance party, dammit. -
Because, again, contrary to the people in denial about it, there's plenty of people who think he is somehow at fault for what happened in 2003. This is simply a thoughtful gesture to someone who unfairly was stuck in a really, really crappy situation just because he was a Cubs fan and became infamous because of it to the point that it completely changed his life for the worse. To issue a statement about it is a way to say, "this poor guy has been through enough; here's a small token that couldn't possibly make up for it but is a way of saying 'sorry.'" How is that possibly a bad thing?

The end of the Brett Anderson experiment

The last time you'll see any Bears players from this team not looking like they want to kill themselves?

Uh. You're on a really weird roll this morning.

Most of these people are monsters.

Most sports fans are idiots. The Cubs have one of the largest fan bases. The amount of "oh, but not US" over this is...humorously BFiB-like.

He didn't deserve to have his life ruined for trying to field a baseball in 2003, but you didn't get to decide that either. This is a mostly private way for the Cubs to make a restitution, and it didn't prevent the team from any baseball operations. It's a marketing move, and though it's a weird thing to do, it's been a weird thing for 15 years, so it's a form of closure for everyone involved. Make up your mind. Is it a mostly private gesture or a marketing move? It can't be both. Actually, it can and is; it's a public gesture by the organization to basically say, "we're sorry for everything you went through" and it's private for Bartman in that he doesn't have to be paraded out for some kind of ceremony. It's win-win for both sides that way.

You got me; I completely made it up for no reason whatsoever.
-
it definitely is, but his life was impacted in such a negative way...at least he gets something awesome out of it in the end. Yeah; it's the weird resolution (hopefully) to a weird situation that the poor guy got WAY too much horsefeathers over. Still plenty of meatballs that look at him as some kind of villain or figure of scorn, and since he very understandably doesn't want to be a part of something like throwing out a first pitch, this seems like a good way to publicly give a little something back to a guy who didn't deserve any of the awfulness he's gone through.

To be fair, that had nothing do with the game.

Gotta mitigate Joe completely losing his mind in the fall once he's got a fresh batch of RV toilet wine.

Eyes full of tears will get you a 1.7 WHIP REAL fast.

Wait, "Big Z?" Zambrano's involved?!?

2B is cursed or something, I dunno.
