Well I'm trying to stay positive, but it looks like the fat lady is about to sing and it's not to congratulate the Cubbies. Let's hope they can pull it out, but if they don't it will be a shame. They were up 3-1 in this series. Plus, they had so many opportunities to win and blew it. Last night's performance was the worse; and blaming the loss on the fan who tried to catch the ball in the 8th inning is just ridiculous. Heck, he wasn’t the only one trying to catch the ball. Unfortunate for him, he was the only one to make contact with the ball while it was still up in the air. So stop trying to make him a scapegoat. Goodness. Hopefully, I'll have to eat my words but right now as I sit here watching this game, can't help but feel extremely frustrated. Damn! Damn! This is why I try not to get so emotionally vested in sport. It is after all, just a game.
Damn!

Sorry about the Cubs....bah humbug.
I feel the same way about that fan. If you look in the photos, he is not the only one with an outstretched hand, reaching for it. He got caught up in the moment as many have done in the past and will do in the future. He cannot be blamed for the ENTIRE loss of the game. That's just ludicrous. Hopefully everyone will leave him alone soon. Poor kid.
