I'm rooting for the Cubs, but I'm not a Cubs fan. Baker has ALWAYS been horrible with his starting pitching management, but I place the blame squarely on the fan. Even if the fans moved, and Alou DIDNT catch it, there wouldnt have been a big inning. After the fan interferred, Prior became distracted, he's only human. Then "the curse" goes through everyones mind. Then everyone unravels.
I feel horrible for the Cubs. I also feel horrible for the fan. He's going to go through the rest of his life knowing he cost the Cubs their best shot at the World Series in a LONG time. His co-workers are going to ridicule him. He'll be a goat for the rest of his life ... I just don't see how someone could ever overcome that.
We all joke and laugh about 1918 and curses, but I really dont believe in them. But now I'm utterly convinced the Cubs are cursed. That sucks, ghosts suck, curses are pussy ass.
Cubs wont win tonight. They'll lose Game 7. Yankees will win tomorrow. Yankees will thrash the Marlins (even though I'll root for the Marlins) and the Skanks will once again dominate baseball. NOT GOOD.
