Bad Day for CUBS fans

by maxwell edison . Updated 22 years, 9 months ago

What should happen to the Cubs fan (is he really a fan?) who interfered with Moises Alou attempting to catch a foul ball that WOULD HAVE been an out and, most likely, sent the Chicago Cubs to the World Series for the first time since 1945?

Can the Chicago Cubs overcome the “CURSE”?

Would you have tried to catch that ball?

What happened, you may ask?

Five outs to go. Wrigley Field crowd on its feet. World Series within their grasp. Then, it was almost as if the baseball gods woke up and realized these were the Chicago Cubs. Those lovable losers blew it again thanks in part to – of all things – one of their own fans.

In a stunning eighth-inning turnaround, the Florida Marlins took advantage of left fielder Moises Alou’s run-in with a fan on a foul fly and an error by shortstop Alex Gonzalez to score eight runs in an 8-3 victory Tuesday night, forcing the NL championship series to a Game 7.

OH MY!
