No way...
I can't believe people actully think this is some fans fault. It's what fans do. Forget the foul ball, the double, then the next batter Alex Gonzo bobbles a ball that allows another runner on? How come no one remembers that. A gold glove SS bobbling a ball to possibly cut the rally short? Gonzo gets that bobble, the inning ends, Cubs are still ahead 3-2. It was an easy double play ball. No one remembers the play that was infact NO ONES fault buy the Cubs. Just the easy scapegoat.
Look, you can call it his fault, or whatever. But if your a true baseball fan, you'll realize it's no different then what anyone else would do. If a foul ball was enough to disrupt an entire defense, and MADE Prior throw complete cheese for 2 innings in a row, well, then I guess it's Bartman's fault.
Really, it's not anyones fault but the Cubs.
Coulda/woulda/shoulda, you can speculate all you want. But it happend, so you can't assume anything.
