If they had gotten that out, the game would have only been tied by the end of the 8th, if not have the Cubs still winning. 5 runs can be attributed to that play, and its impossible to measure the effect something like that had on the players concentration and momentum - I know I would certainly have been extremely pissed and a little lacking in my focus after that.
Either way, I truly do feel bad for the guy. I originally wanted to beat the crap out of him, but now that I see how much he's probably beating the crap out of himself, I feel sorry for him.
Hopefully the Cubs win tonight so he doesn't have the weight of a missed World Series on his shoulders.
