[Support Free Republic]

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

This sclimal is going to have a legacy that will make Billy Buck, look mild by comparison.

Kind of like Ted Kennedy being branded a killer, just cause he drove off a bridge on a dark and stormy night.

''A Dying Cub Fan's Last Lament'' -- Steve Goodman

Do they still play the blues in Chicago
When baseball season rolls around?
When the snow melts away
Do the Cubbies still play
In their ivy-covered burial ground?

When I was a boy, they were my pride and joy
But now they only bring fatigue
To the home of the brave
And the land of the free
As the doormats of the National League.

SON! CALL HOME NOW!!!

I don't think that's what got Kennedy branded a killer. The fact that he left the girl in the car to save his own skin, when he might have been able to save her, is what got him branded.

Rightfully so, IMO.

Darn it I knew there was something I had forgotten about that story.

But his name isn't Billy Buck and he can be forgiven but billy buck can't, not even in chicago.

I hope that guy knows a good plastic surgeon who can give him a new face.

[kattracks]

Before some other fan does.

This, to me, shows that Chicago fans obviously do not understand the game of baseball. Maybe that's why they have sucked over all these years.

Any fan sitting on a wall like that should KNOW not to even think of interferring with a ball. They're selfishness and childish to get a ball to take home and put on e-Bay is sickening.

You see one guy in the picture pulling back, but most are enamored with themselves seeing a ball hit into their area. Maybe, in the future, people that buy those seats (in the first 2-3 rows depending on where they are) should have to sign something to show they understand the rules and be shown video of players making fantastic, leaping catches of a foul ball. Then if they touch the ball, they can be legally shot.

I'll bet $100 he doesn't go to work on Wednesday.

Suicide watch...big time. Did he attend the game alone? Where were his friends of family that came with him? No mention of that. But he got a free Cubs jacket? LMAO...Hope he liked his final game at Wrigley until he gets the plastic surgery.

What do you mean history, read someplace last year if Mary Jo was alive she would be 62 and she would have been receiving social security because of ted Kennedy.

Of course, she didn't receive it became of ted the boy swimmer, but he was forgiven, by mass but Bill buckner will never be forgiven for letting that ground ball go between his legs.

Just a comment on what people consider important.

[Hank Rearden]

Man, this yutz certainly looks like an East Coaster. Snarky, suspicious look and everything.

[My Favorite Headache]

He looks like Allan Colmes...is what he looks like.
