Come on..
Only an idiot would blame Steve Bartman for the Cubs losing that game. How do you even know Alou makes the catch? You don't - it's all speculation. I'm not calling you an idiot, unless your a Cubs fan who blames ANYTHING on Steve Bartman.
No, it's not rational, it's common sense and any Cubs fan who says otherwise, well, isn't a Cubs fan. Not every Cubbies fan needs an excuse. The only excuse is Alex Gonzo, a pretty good fielding SS bobbled and ball and missed the double play to end the inning. No one is to blame but them.
Sosa, well, yes, I've thought that for a long time. His discipline was outstanding, possibly the best hitter in baseball for like 3 years. Now, he's back swinging at pitches in the dirt, at his head, it's ugly. He's also like 35 years old, it's time to shop him while he's still worth somthing. Most cubs fans will tell you the homer he hit to tie the game in game 5 (I think game 5) against the Marlins justifies what he's worth, but well, to me it doesn't. Caring about somthing other then your self image and hitting 60 jacks a year. How about, getting on base.
