They Found Steve Bartman …

Remember Steve Bartman?
Steve Bartman, the lifelong Cub fan who got blamed for the Cubs’ implosion in Game Six (and Game Seven) of the 2003 NLCS after he did what any fan sitting in the front row would have done by reaching for a foul ball?
Moises Alou threw a grand mal hissy, Mark Prior started throwing Rick Ankiel-style pitches, and Alex Gonzalez booted a potential inning ending double play ball. And the Cubs (not Bartman) gave up eight runs. And then the Cubs found a way to lose Game Seven and send the Marlins to the World Series the next night.
Bartman went into hiding, a fugitive from his beloved Cubs and their fans. And just as wrongfully accused as Dr. Richard Kimble.
Well, they found Bartman in the stands of Chase Field during a Cubs-Diamondbacks game a few weeks ago. Video after the jump …
Okay, maybe it was only somebody who looks a little like Bartman.
Nice touch by the D-Backs to make all those Cub fans visiting Arizona feel at home.
Or rub salt in a nearly four-year old (but still open) wound. I’m not sure what they’re trying to do.

F*ck moises alou, his brain must have turned to cream of wheat, that mushy-buttocked lube farter. He just wanted an excuse if/when he (inevitably) failed. You have a built-in excuse now f*cktard. And you have essentially destroyed a man. F*cking **** bastard.
Oh, and Mark Prior takes it up the dirty turkey highway.

I really must speak out about this Steve Bartman incident. While he was an unwilling participant in the Cubs implosion, the true spark that got this ball rolling was that dope Bernie Mac who sang during the 7th inning stretch.
He said that the Cubs were “GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES”!! This was just in the 7th inning!! ANY FLIPPING IDIOT knows that you NEVER, EVER, ABSOLUTELY DO NOT GLOAT Before the Fat Lady has Sung. The Second that he said that, I just knew the Cubs were sunk.
If it would not have been sacreligious, I would have found a booky RIGHT THEN and bet the farm on a Cubs loss.
Anyway, don’t blame the knife when you get cut, BLAME BERNIE MAC FOR SWINGING IT AT YOU. He started the whole thing. big dope

Steve Bartman…. Hmmm… I just watched a video of the infamous foul ball and it brought tears to my eyes. I am 29 years old and I can’t imagine going my whole life without the Cubs winning the Series. We will turn it around tomorrow night and win out. Write that down.

Fuck the Cubs. Steve Bartman for President! The Cubs used to be my other team but now, with the ‘Crew in the same division and having the distinct displeasure of sitting next to some Cubs fans at Miller Park on several occasions, once again, emphatically, Fuck The Cubs. Every team has a bad century. This is yours. Ha hahahahahah.

Bobby, It had nothing to do with Bernie Mac or Steve Bartman… It was just the Cubs sucking as usual

Alou wouldnt have caught that ball w/out any interference from Bartman. Alou is just a p.o.s person who was too p**** to fail that he shifted the blame on Bartman by throwing a drama queen temper tantrum, and a bunch of cub fans were tools and followed along. Alou forever sucks as a person.
