I admit last night I wanted the Cubs to win and go on to the World Serious, but after the treatment that young man received from Cub fans I'm not so sure anymore. And the treatment wasn't just ugly, it was vicious, even life threatening it could be argued.

I don't know if the treatment is indicative of Cub-nation as a whole or just a few misguided fans piling on to this poor soul.

If there was any goat out there at Wrigley last night it surely wasn't along the left field line where foul balls land.....it WAS in the Cub dugout, at shortstop, on the mound, in the field, in the bullpen, and might have even been chewing a toothpick.

As a life long 3rd generation Cub fan I can assure you that that these people are not indicative! Most of the jerks writing about this aren't even Cubs fans, (the Sun Times is owned by the Trib, their biggest, and most hated Chicago rival) they're just general sports-dorks who take pleasure from public people they can put down to build themselves up.

Usually the ripping is of pro athletes which is hard because someone can always point out that player X is way better than they could ever be, but this guy is the Perfect Storm of things they can put down, he's not an athlete, he made an honest but dumb mistake, it appeared to involve a supposed "curse" which sports-dorks who don't understand X's and O's LOVE, and it preceded one of the biggest meltdowns on the big stage in sports history.

Don't assume these people represent the Cub nation.

oops, I meant to say "Cubs own by Trib, Sun Times bitter rival"
