ChasingBlueSky 0 #10 December 18, 2003 QuoteNot a Cubbie fan there Kev? He's the one that cost the Cubs the World Series Actually, he cost them the possibility of one out, just like the shortstop that bobbled a grounder. Then of course, there are the other 3 losses that he had nothing to do with. Cub fans always need to blame their bad luck on a goat, and this time around its a scapegoat. I just love to torture the Cub fans. It's better than pissing the conservatives off. _________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Ok so this all's got something to do with baseball? Or how is it called? Can anyone tell me what is so special about it then? We don't really play that game overhere.

Can anyone tell me what is so special about it then? We don't really play that game overhere. We have this game that tends to be rather popular in America. It's called Baseball. There was this pretty important game being played not long ago to determine who would get bragging rights for the year. At this game, a dude on one team smacked the ball really hard. A dude on the other team was way out by the wall and jumped up to catch the ball. As things sometimes tend to happen, a young fan sitting in the crowd stuck his arm over the wall to catch the ball and the player trying to catch the ball hit his arm. The player didn't end up catching the ball, his team didn't end up with bragging rights, the fans of this team considered the fan with the offensive arm something less than a hero and, if I remember correctly, the fan in question was escorted out of the stadium for his own safety. I believe he was receiving so many threats that he ended up moving to another state but can't be certain of that. This picture is of that fan. See? Ain't it a gas? I thought it was pretty amusing; I'm hoping it didn't lose some of that in the translation. Cheers! Blue skies and happy landings!

Pretty stupid of that guy to do something like that. So now he will probably be longer remembered than the famous player. Only then as the stupid ...
