no bartman, just collapse

and a scapegoat... and every cubs fan who gave up on their supposedly beloved team in 2003 is more to blame than bartman ever was... bartman didn't give up eight runs in one inning... bartman didn't make the error that should have been an easy double play... bartman didn't put his face all over tv as if the play on the field didn't matter... bartman was not yelling asshole instead of supporting their beloved team at the very moments thier team was falling apart and needed their fan support most... bartman was watching and listening to the game, supporting his team... bartman didn't let a team who was down 3-1 come back to win game five, six, and seven... bartman didn't choke three games in a row... bartman didn't point fingers at the team or the fans who were more interested in blaming him than in winning the game or the series... bartman did not exhibit the very worse of humanity... leviticus, alas, humans...

as much as i love jackson and through her the cubs and as much as i've love to see the cubs win the world series, i really am sad to know the history of so many so-called fans... and sad that the cubs themselves did not take ownership for their failure, that the team he loved let him down so historically... moises alou should be ashamed of his lake of sportsmanship... and him saying he knew something worse was coming was ridiculously stupid... it makes him a quitter... he said he's sick and tired of reliving the play and does not accept that his childish tantrum on the field was much more likely what influenced the collapse than a fan who prevented one out... and the cubs collapsing that game and blaming that play is ridiculous... and losing game seven was all on them... as was losing game five... it would have been two outs and not the end of the inning and the errors and bad pitching that gave up eight runs could just as easily have happened... prior should be ashamed of his finger pointing... the fans should be ashamed of themselves... yelling asshole while their team burns, some fans... giving up on game seven before it starts, some fans...

and this season, no bartman, just collapse... perhaps cubs fans have matured... we shall see what happens tomorrow...

there's always hope...
