JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Hey Choken, what's the deal with the Teddy Ballgame post? I have this theory that baseball was so great this year because Teddy Ballgame took over head writing duties of the BASEBALL GODS union... and Notice that BoSox (his team), Yanks (rivals), Cubs (the other long suffering team) and Florida (He wanted to be buried in Florida and loved to vaction there)... So naturally, they all go to the A/NLCS. Kinda of a joke, not to be taken seriously Did his buddy Stan the Man write the Cubs collapse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Downhome 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 When the kid did it...it was ACTUAL fan interference as the ball would have been in play. When this guy did it...it wasn't. Blame one dude for allowing EIGHT RUNS.. I agree that it's wrong to blame the guy. But the fact is, Cubs fans aren't going to forgive and forget. Ever. because they are idiots, they will never admit it was the players fault...so they blame the god damn goat or this fan... Besides, who knows what you'd do if you were that fan. How many seconds did that entire event last? I know it's wrong to get in the way, but the fact remains that he had every right to do what he did. There were quite a few fans right next to him and all around him who were all trying to get that ball at the same time. Any one of us would more than likely try to do it also if we thoght the ball was out of play and that it was just a normal foul ball. He only had a second to decide, and he went for it just like everyone else around him. I highly doubt he did anything on purpose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted October 16, 2003 Meanwhile, I think Wakefield should be on the Cubs..u have a team of flame throwers pretty much..how about someone with a 67 mile an hour knuckle-ball? Or fuck, make a trade for Al Leiter..got someone to replace Shawn Estes. I'm already waiting til next year. He needs to just give up the pitching and become a STUD in the booth. Heh, I know. I remember for the first few minutes of Game 1 he was all "eh" and stuff, but he's been the only good thing in the booth. Dontcha love how he doesn't give verbal lap dances to Cabrera all night? Of course, he seemed to really dig Beckett..but he knows pitchers. and he was simply going "This kid has incredible stuff, a real control of the game" and stuff like that while Thom was going "Look at Cabaera, He's a stud I tell you, he can do it all, A real player ya know what I mean, God, This kid is really something. I think he is going to be HUGE, Really it's amazing what he can do" *All this as he pops out to center* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I'm calling it right now, the Yanks take the game tomorrow and go on to beat the Marlins. I don't know why, but honestly, if it's the Marlins and Yanks, I'm all for the Yanks. There's just something I don't like about this team and it's probably what everyone's been discussing for the last couple of pages. I don't like their "fans," their management, and as talented as their team is, when put up against the Cubs like that, I just grew to dislike a lot of them. I can't see them keeping Pudge next year. I know he "wants to stay there," but with how he's played this season, he'll be commanding big bucks and I wouldn't be surprised to see that they're not willing to pay it. I'm still in shock, to be honest. Whereas I'd usually be stark-raving mad, these last two nights I've just been stunned, too much in shock to even break anything. As for the fan, his life will forever be changed. No, he wasn't the reason they gave up eight runs, but that incident triggered the rest of the actions of that odd 8th inning and whether it's his fault or not, this is something I doubt he ever gets over. If he actually isn't killed, I could see him killing himself over it. And no, I'm not trying to be funny, but that's the sad truth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gert T 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 The one and only positive is that we have a good chance of seeing Mike Wilbon go legitimately fucking nuts on PTI tomorrow. He might, and I didn't see the show today, but I heard him on Kornheiser's radio show, he already said it was over, almost sounding like trying to give it the reverse jinx feel. Oh well, didn't work. And I don't mean to start any trouble, and if I'm wrong I apologize in advance, but Mik, were you busy with schoolwork when the Cubs were up 3-1? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll still watch it if only because I like baseball and it's still the world series notheless. I just i'll root for the Marlins, if only because of Trader Jack and Pudge. NOT THE FRANCHISE.

What the fan did was the equivelent of the ball just going foul. I didn't say that the pitching and defense weren't to blame for what happened, but it was all downhill after that incident. Personally, I think the rule is bullshit. If a player has a shot at the ball, it should be his domain, regardless if it breaks the plane of the stands.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2003 I think it's sorta humorous that a lot of people only start to show up in this thread to kick the Cubs when they're down. Yes, they blew an incredible lead, but why not throw down on some of the actual previous baseball talk instead of adding in cliche lines like "Huh huh the Cubs blew it huh huh, they sure do suck Huh."
