I don't mean to crap in this thread, but I didn't think this was important enough to start a new baseball-related thread.
A guy named Steve Bartman FUBARed the Chicago Cubs and their attempt to win Game 6 by catching the baseball, instead of letting a fielder catch it.

Opinions? :confused:
it was a foul ball.. he had every right to catch the ball seeing as the ball was over the fence...
THAT out (or not out) did not change the game as much as cubbies would like to make it seem...
ffs... they had THREE chances to clinch.. not just 1 ball...
blaming him is ridiculous... anyone else would have done the same thing.. not one picture taken shows ANY fans near the ball not reaching for it if they were able...
you were right.. that is thread crapping...
kudos to the yankees and bo. sox for a great series... kudos to the marlins and cubs for 6 good games...

The Yankees ruin professional baseball. If there isn't a salary cap instated within a few years, I might lose interest in one of my favorite sports.
This suks. The worst possible thing happened(Boston and Cubs..:().

Oh stop your bitching you give no honor to the teams that come close to and or beat the Yanks with half the money they have. They have teams with just as good players and just as much money as the Yankees.
Anyway that was great game. I just new they would come through and oh boy they sure did in great fashion.:)

The difference in that Yankee / Sox series was most defientely the managers. Joe Torre once again demonstrated why is one of the best in the biz and Little showed how bad he was throughout the whole series. When two teams are that close (10-9 regular season and extra innings in game 7!) it comes down to managing.
The Cubbies MIGHT have had some bad luck but the Red Sox brought this upon themselves. Game seven was theirs to lose and that's exactly what they did.

I blame the Cubs players. They make millions of dollars and had errors mental mistakes. It wasnn't Steve who gave up the runs. It was the Cubs pitching staff. Millionaires all of them. To blame one guy who did a dumb thing but not a terrible thing is just ignoring the fact that the Cubbys lost it them selves.
It is just a game. We have men and women dying in Iraq and we get to sit back here and pound on one poor guys who made a stupid move. Sad

Opinions? :confused: When the ball crosses into the stands (as it did in this case) the fan has a right to it. Anyone that tells you they would have reacted differently in that situation is a jackass.Oh stop your bitching you give no honor to the teams that come close to and or beat the Yanks with half the money they have. They have teams with just as good players and just as much money as the Yankees.Excuse me, but the Yankees have the highest payroll in the Majors, so that right there negates your last point. Also, smaller market teams such as the Royals, Twins, etc. cannot afford to essentially buy players to fill in the holes in their lineup when it comes time to make a playoff run. Your reaction is that of a typical Yankee fan, if there is such a thing. A real fan is one that must endure heartbreak as well as jubilation, and Yankee fans never truly have to feel the aforementioned due to the seemingly bottomless pockets of their team. Many teams in Major League Baseball are losing money, and this cannot be entirely blamed on the recent labor disputes of the past decade. It is also due to the lack of parity. That, to me, is a shame for baseball fans.

since I am a buccs fan in tampa bay I will consider myself a true fan :)
there has been no team more maligned in professional sports in america than the buccs and hell did we ever deserve that super bowl... just to say we DID do it... :D
the yankees... for what its worth... are the epitome of a dynasty... all thats good and all thats bad...
reminds me of the real's and ajax's and celtic's and rangers and liverpools and man united's and galatasaray's... :)
of course... not many american's follow football... which is a shame
