Cubs game, anyone watch it?

[luckies4me]

Poor poor man lol. They have showed his face so many times already. Did anyone watch the game and see what happened? Some guy in the stadium reached for a ball, causing the Cubs team to miss catching the ball, which they would have caught if the man hadn't interfeared. They had to escort the man out.

I was listening on the radio at work, the cubbies jinx seems to be materializing once again. First that guy interferes, then they give up EIGHT runs in one inning!!!! I'm still rooting for the cubs though, one more chance tomorrow .....tom

Ah yes, Dan and I had a long talk about superstitions and curses tonight.

Yes, my hubby and I were watching when it happened. If that guy would have not touched the ball, the left fielder could have caught the ball. But Nooooooooo that dude tried to catch the ball... and so the guy up to bat got another chance and that's when the Marlins started the rally that won them the game


I want the Cubs to win tonight!!!!!

Then I want to see the Cubs play Boston next and I would like to see the Cubs win it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We were watching!! Ugh!! I couldn't believe it. Poor guy; he must awful. It sure did start into motion a series of calamaites!! 8 runs in one innning and so close to victory! I hope they win tonight then play the Yankees!! They'll be a lot of baseball watching here today!

I saw it and I know exactly how Cubs fans feel. In the 1997 ACLS, the Orioles were playing the Yankees and some stupid 12 year old punk reached WAY out over the side of the stadium and caught a ball that would've not even gone outside the park for a homerun had he left it alone, and so the Yankees got a homerun - a pretty sizeable one if I remember correctly. The kid was hailed as a hero up in New York City. It was unbelieveable. But yeah, after that happened, the O's were totally deflated and the Yankees won the Series. It was sickening.

I'm hoping the Cubs can pull it out tonight, but I'm afraid they've been completely deflated too. If you see the Marlins vs. the Yankees in the World Series, you'll see the interest drop to next to nothing. But if somehow the World Series has either the Cubs or the Red Sox in it (or both!), you'll see probably the biggest ratings ever! People are SICK of the Yankees! People want someone else to win other than the Yankees. It ain't just me either.

Anyway... that was a really stupid move on that "fan's" part and he should be embarrassed. I don't feel bad for him - he completely caused the unraveling to happen. If he hadn't interfered, Alou would've caught the ball and they would've had 4 outs to go to get to the World Series. Instead, his interference made the Marlins tie the game and deflate the Cubs and the Marlins took major advantage of that and thus the final score. If I were the Commissioner of MLB, I'd fine that guy (or try to anyway, lol!).

*crossing fingers for a Cubs win tonight*

I was wondering when the Yankee bashing would begin!! Actuallly, though I'm a born and bred New Yorker and die hard Yankee fan, I wouldn't mind seeing the Cubs win. ANYONE but the Red Sox!!

[Samantha Puppy]

Sorry! Nothing personal, I just hate the Yankees. (I'm an Orioles fan and all self-respecting Orioles fans hate the Yankees.) I hate the players, I hate the coaches, I hate the owner, I hate the "legacy," I hate it all.

Here's how much I hate the Yankees: I was in love with Mike Mussina. I even got to meet him and I was so flustered and nervous, he said "Hi Jaime, nice to meet you" and I squeaked and that was it - didn't even say "hi" back. But when he went to the Yankees...? Man, that was like the worst thing he could've ever done. And now, the man I once loved and adored, I now loathe and detest - all because he wears pinstripes. It brings me joy to see him have a bad outing.

Yeah, so... I'll try not to hold the fact that you're a Yankees fan against you, but I can't promise anything! No I'm kidding... the only time I hate the fans are when they come to Camden Yards and it sounds like I'm in the Bronx. Ugh. Oh yeah, and when 12-year old punks interfere with an in-play ball.

[tatsxxx11]

I'm just guessing here, but, I think you hate the Yankees??? Wow, I didn't think anyone could hate the Yankees like a Bostonian, but you might just hold that distinction But I can take it...seems everyone loves to hate the Yankees and New York! Actually, next to the Yankees, my favorite team is the Orioles! Brooks Robinson is one of my all time favorites and a real hero! I remember as a little kid being glued to the TV watching the rivalry/playoffs between the Yankees and Orioles on TV. We didn't want either team to lose! So, can't say I hold your allegiance against you. But I still love my Yankees! And we do have the best uniforms!

[Samantha Puppy]

Oh don't get me wrong - I LOVE New York City! I just hate the Yankees. With a passion. No, a burning passion. I am right up there with Bostonians with my hatred of the Yankees. Actually, you know what I think it is? I just hate powerhouses, that are in the post-season/championships all the time. Like Florida State. I loathe Florida State football. So yeah, once the Yankees suck again (oh pleeeeeeease, let that happen soon!), I will still hate them, just not as much!

You redeemed yourself a little with liking the Orioles though, tatsaxx11. Brooksie is a hero here in Maryland. Oh, how I long for the day when we're a good, solid, consistent team again!!! These last 6 years have been horrible!! Gotta get Angelos and his stupid sons out of the decision-making arena though, before that'll happen. *sigh*

And the Yankees uniform is NOT the best!! Blech, pinstripes. DUMB!!!!

[Blustang24]

GOOO CUBBIES!!!!! I love the cubs. I remember watching them when Mark Grace, Ryne Sandberg, Ray Sanchez, Andre Dawson, Rick Wilkins, and Stever Buchelle was on the team....man those were the good ol (losing) days!!! BTW did anyone see them flash over to Andre Dawson last night a couple times? I'm a die hard Cubbies fam...born just outside of Chicago and couldn't help but to like them since my parents and grandparents were always rooting for them! They can pull it off tonight...then off to play the Sox ( I hope). !!!!!

[2kitties]

stupid kid. Sorry, but he needs to be put on a stage and taunted by cubs fans. Actually, I feel for him because if the Cubs lose tonight, he'll never live it down. He may as well have been walking around with a goat on a leash last night.

[tomkatzid]

Hey, Yankee hating isn't reserved for you east coasters, there are some folks out west that HATE the yankees, Mariner fans can't stand them!!! I'll give you credit though, you field a good team every year .
I don't think this is the year though, Cubbies vs. Red Sox in the 2003 world series ......tom

BTW, what did you do to Jeff Nelson up there in N.Y.? He was a good citizen when he was in Seattle......

[tatsxxx11]

Wow, you guys are relentless!! Ok, you come live in Boston for a while and THEN tell me what you think of those sweet Sox fans!! I have to drive around staring at bumper stickers proclaiming "YANKEES SUCK!" Actually, I half hope the Red Sox DO win so they can finally stop their WHINNNNNNNNNING!!! Now, if the Yankees lose this afternoon, I'm gonna blame all of you for jinxing them!! 2 hours and counting! Finally, some baseball fans to mix it up with!! Go Cubbies, Go Yankees!!

[Kfamr]

Nope. What are the Cubs anyways, baseball, football, soccer?
Eh, anyways, could careless.
