I hope the Cubs can win the WS just for that poor guy's sake. He's been through a whole lot of crap for doing what any of us would have done. A lot of fans would, but not me. I was watching a game this weekend (can't remember which one). A foul ball was hit on the first base side and as the ball was caught, you could see several fans backing away from the ball and then clapped when it was caught. I don't blame Bartman for the loss, but there was no excuse for that. But I tell you who I blame, and that's Alou for the little sissy fit he threw in left field. Because of his fit, Mark Prior went balistic. And then I blame "toothpick Baker" for not going out to the mound to calm his pitcher. Instead, he sat like a fat dunce on the dugout chompin' on a small piece of wood while his entire team imploded. I'll never forgive Baker for his total ineptitude in game 6 and especially in 7.
