Yeah, Mel....but were you watching tonite's game when they *circled* all the other fans AROUND that guy that also had their hands/gloves raised trying to catch the same ball?

Must have been about 10 of them.

The announcers seemed appalled at what this poor guy must be going through. And of course, the *relentless* media...who I'm sure are the ones who *found* his house.

Just my 2 cents worth, as I'm sure I might feel differently if I were a fan.

>>It's really easy to make this guy a scapegoat, but he didn't do anything that any of us wouldn't have done in his place.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Despite the wrath my good buddy Mel may bestow upon me, I liked your post, Judie...and I have to agree with you.

I TRULY feel sorry for this guy, and hope everyone will calm down & cease the threats.

I had not even thought about the fact that it might be so bad that he & family may have to move. Is he married? Kids? Regardless, still awful(:

TY for your input from the viewpoint of a Chicagoan:)

>>I'm disappointed that the Cubs lost
**Aww I bet you are Judie and I'm sorry. No joy in Mudville.
I do agree with you on that poor guy. I think his reach for the ball was totally automatic.
I think his life will probably go a different direction now and I hope and pray he and his family are safe.
My anger, more and more so goes to the press that releases and imho feeds this kind of stuff into a fire.

And hey Cub fans, there's next year!
Ok, I'll shut up ;D.

I completely agree with you Judie.........I remember there were quite a few other folks trying to catch the ball too...the Cubs lost the game, Not the fan.
