poor guy... haha what a loser
I'm a cubbies fan, and I can 100% guarantee you, if the marlins knocked one out, I wouldn't give two shits about catching it. I'd deck the first person going for it if there was even the slightest, most minute chance of the ball being caught, and considering how close to the edge it was, I would have known a catch was a possibility, even if only 1 in a million, thats enough for me. Had that been me standing next to the guy, I would tackled his a$$ and beaten him senseless for WANTING a Marlin's fly ball. And don't say we all would have, a buddy of mine was sitting two rows back and when his buddies went to run up and try to catch it he tripped 'em and kept them from going for it. He was also one of the first guys chucking his beer bottle at the clown. .... but on another note, I don't blame that guy for ruining the game, the cubs did a good job of that on their own.Originally posted by sage
cmon guys. every single one of us would have done the same thing in his shoes. You telling me, a ball coming towards you, no idea that Alou was right there (esp. in the heat of the moment), that you werent going to reach up and try to catch a ball??? .... Cmon, in the heat of the moment, every freakin' human being would have done the same thing.

Do me a favor, if you've seen the replay so many times, and go look at that wonderful first picture in the first message of this thread. The ball hasn't even crossed the edge, and was very obviously within the realm of possibility that it could be caught. To be uncatchable, in my mind and most die-hard fans minds, the ball would have to be considerably closer to the first row benches. If he has to lean even slightly to get near the ball for the first bop, then I, and the 336 other people polled at my college so far, would *not* have gone after a MARLIN's ball. A cubbies ball would be entirely different. But most true cubs fans wouldn't want a marlin ball for any reason other than a) burning, b) pegging a marlin with, or c) maybe selling on ebay...I keep calling him a kid even though he's like 26...lol...If it was homerun ya you may have time to think hey the outfielder has a chance at it and leave it alone....MAYBE....but a foul ball a good 1-2ft over the 3rd base wall??
Once again, don't incorporate me, or the 9 other guys on this board I've brought over into this broad sweeping statement. I also stated I do not blame that guy for ruining the game, the Cubs did that to themselves. I think he made a great statement of apology, and feel pity for the fact that he still regularly has police protection around his properity. I certainly hope the radio interview I heard was a fake, as he sounded like a very depressed/distraught individual.Everybody here would have gone after it....and he didn't break any rules or lose that game for the Cubs....
I believe I stated my friends were some of the first... hardly the last, why do you think he was escorted out? Feel free to stand up to the entire stadium. Alou woulda pegged him right then and there if he had something to throw. There were enough beer cans and bottles around his seat at the end, someone could easily have bought a new car from recycling 'em Lets not get into this childish detour though, not worth the potential RSI of typing it out.and If I would've seen your dumbass friends throwing bottles at a scrawny 15yr old looking scared shitless guy I would have beat their asses right there...that's totally uncalled for..I can see maybe booing or heckling him...but come on...
I do hope your talking about Rugby..**** the cubs and **** baseball. Put on some pads and play a real mans sport. Enough about this freakin guy already.
That's what I'm talking about. BTW, I bet you the only reason this isn't an Olympic sport is because we'd kick the **** out of the rest of the world even with college teams. Sorry folks, no other sport has the emotional highs and lows of football. Football also gives most teams a chance to be competitive unlike baseball. We also don't have a 7 game series in football to decide championships, 1 game, 1 shot, there's no tomorrow**** the cubs and **** baseball. Put on some pads and play a real mans sport. Enough about this freakin guy already.
