the Cubs fan

[fflo]

Well, here's the guy:



I don't even know what to say. I'm mad at the guy. Reporters are now saying how sorry they feel for him (I feel that, too, yes, but I'm still mad) and how most any fan would have tried to catch it (not me---I swear!). Shall we have a pool on how long it takes for his name to get out? They're joking about a witness protection program for the guy, but, if the Cubbies lose today, he may well need protection.

I wouldn't myself join the posse. But I feel now as if those Cubs are playing today for that guy's future, cuz if they lose, his own conscience will eat him up (if the fish in Lake Michigan don't eat the little pieces of him the tougher fans toss to 'em).

I'm mad at the guy, too, and I wouldn't have gone for the ball either. But he's not like the Yankee kid; he didn't do it out of sheer evil (at least, I don't think he did). Still, if the Cubbies lose, this will haunt all of them for a long time to come.

And the Sox have to win this afternoon, too. Gods, the tension.

He's a Steve Bartman---kind of a cool last name, by Simpsons standards, for a guy who did an uncool thing.
