CubsSuck1 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have to say yes. Even though he is a Cubs fan, this man may have to go through his entire life believing he cost the team he loves the shot at the World Series. We all love the sox and I'm sure none of us would want to be held accountable for something bad to happen to him. I mean the guy is about 5 foot 5 110 pounds with his headphones and glasses and whatnot. His name is all over, where le lives and works, front page of newspapers and websites accross the nation. Kinda have to fell sorry for him, as it really wasnt his fault. On the other hand you can say screw him hes a cubs fan, but i do feel somewhat sorry for him. My 2 cents.

CubKilla Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 No. He's a goddamn hero for one and his mishap HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED AFTERWARDS IN THAT GAME!!!!! If the Cubs were that mentally weak, then it's a miracle they made it that far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeithFranklin Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Yes...He is being blamed when what happened was nothing compared to GONZO muffing the ground ball and Prior loosing his composure. Not to mention there was no guarantee that Alou would catch the ball. After all he dropped an easier one in Puerto Rico. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cubs were that mentally weak, then it's a miracle they made it that far. Well then you should feel sorry for him. You said his actions had nothing to do with the outcome of the game, and I agree, but he's being blamed for the Cubs not being in the WS, and as a result, his life is legitimately in danger. IMO that's worthy of feeling sorry for him, but that's just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan99 Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I gotta admit that I didn't at first but my attitude has changed 180 degrees. This guy will never live this down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonkeyKongerko Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I feel sorry cuz he has no friends. He destroyed the 2003 season so Cub fans will hate him. Sox fans like what he did but won't embrace him since he still remains a Cub fan. At the end he should just move to Florida or something.

Imagine going to a ballgame and thinking, Gee tomorrow I have to issue a PRESS RELEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochpuppy Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I voted no but meant yes. What Cub fans fail to realize is this was only an 88 win team. This team was good but not great. Think they'll be trying to sign LaTroy Hawkins in the offseason? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I feel sorry he's a die hard fan of a team who's fans are too stupid to know that Gonzo's error cost them a trip to a WS. Not a stupid curse or something that happened to a foul ball off the field. I feel bad his name, house, friends, relatives, and neighbors are all over the media. Lucky dude though and kudos to Jeb Bush for offering asylum in Florida. That rocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I don't feel sorry for him because I think he did nothing wrong. I also don't feel sorry for him because he was at an NLCS game with headphones on - normally they are no big deal, but in a game of that magnitude, shouldn't you want to have your ears open to taken in the whole thing? Maybe I am just weird...okay, I am weird, but I hope the point gets across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Is this a continuation of the goat curse or will Cub fans now begin to talk about the Bartman Curse? That would be so cool, to have a curse named after you. Anyone good with anime? I think Dusty running after the NLCS trophy and Bartman jerking it away would be way funny.

Not to mention there was no guarantee that Alou would catch the ball. After all he dropped an easier one in Puerto Rico. Yeah, lets not forget that multi-million dollar professional athletes screwed up greater than some guy in the stands did. He pays BIG money to go to a HUGE game, and a ball flies in his direction and he tried to grab it. You really can't blame the guy for trying for a play-off ball! Does anybody else find it funny that his last name is the same name as Bart Simpsons superhero alter-ego? We need a picture of him in a "Bartman" superhero costume swooping down from the skies pulling the ball from Alou! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSteve Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I feel sorry for him now. He has taken too much for the Cubs not being in the World Series. If I did that to the Sox, I would be heartbroken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have to say yes because he will be forever blamed by his fellow idiot Flub fans for their magnificent choke job this season. Always an excuse. At least Wood admitted that he choked and for that he has my respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 At this time I feel sorry for him. He really didn't do anything wrong. Those fans around him were trying for the ball, also. Did anybody see ESPN today? Captain Janks of the Stern show pretended he was Bartman. ESPN put him on and Dan Patrick had to say, "We were duped." That's cause the fake Bartman said, "What do you think of Howard Stern's Fartman?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 No he did what he did, and we all must be held responsible for our actions. Plus he's da guy who wrecked da Cubs hopes of making da World Series, we should be throwing a ticket tape parade or sumthin for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YASNY Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 Yes. I feel sorry for him. The only thing that he did was remind everyone in Wrigley Field of the Curse. And the Cubs couldn't handle it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
