Bash Brothers? It's baseball and that's what they do.

Did anyone see the corresponding move to Cahill yesterday since he was still on the roster for the night game?

Yeah, I know.

My question had more to do with "Why the heck do we need to act like little children and nickname a fucking wall just so the cubs have one more reason to be the butt of jokes?"

Maybe that's how I should have worded it.

Nicknames, and catchy little phrases and sayings, and Bryant/Rizzo '16 Tshirts are embarrassing.

Help us all if they rename the left field wall the "Bartman Wall".

Alou was (and is) responsible for the team meltdown.

People can point to the Gonzales error all they want -- if Alou catches that ball (which he absolutely would have), we win the pennant. Period. Now, I feel horrible for Bartman and how this has catastrophically impacted his life in such a negative way. And I probably would have done exactly what he did, based on pure instinct. But the reality is, it cost us the pennant.

Same thing for Gonzales, as well. Had he not made that error, we probably would have went to the WS. It's just the reality of the situation.

You mean they still had another game to play after that one and it was Bartman's fault, too?

No, no, no.....a thousand times NO. If Alou was even an adequate outfielder, I might buy into that statement but he clearly never was. The only thing I was upset about is that no one in that section of seats even for second had enough sense to give him a shot at it. For what? A $5 dollar baseball? A collection of morons to be sure but there's no way an left fielder of Alou's limited skill set catches that ball.

You want to target someone...try the idiot manager who stayed with Prior too long then when he finally does make a change, he comes with the teams biggest choker in Farnsworth. It was still 3-1 after the error. Dumbass Baker was looking for a K when he should've been trying to get the slow footed Lee to hit another one of the endless hard grounders he hit in his career.

**** Tommy La Stella. I would have cut him a week ago. He better beg for forgiveness.

You are quite literally 100% wrong. Slow motion analysis has been done of the trajectory of the ball. There is a 100% chance he would have caught it. 100%.

Game 7 has nothing to do with this conversation.

Alou glove was right under the ball/bartman hand, he would've caught it..

You're right everyone went for the ball, so happened to hit bartman hand..then they all looked at him like WTF did you do..


I was more pissed that Baker or the pitching coach didn't go out there after that to calm Prior down and get him to refocus, along with everyone else. .you could see he was upset too after that. .


Then yes Gonzo error which could of just ended the whole thing ..

Nothing in baseball is 100%....particularly when you're talking about a bad fielder. One who throws a fit because he didn't get a chance to make himself look foolish which in hindsight....he did anyway.

Let's see a link to that 100% crap....I doubt even ESPN isn't dumb enough to make that claim.

Yes. It most certainly does. You stated that Alou would have caugt the ball and it's Bartman's fault that he didn't. You say it cost them the pennant. It did no such thing. The Cubs choked the next game away with no imaginary assistance from Bartman.
