MLB: Is Alou SERIOUS?

[HILLCYD]

ESPN - Alou says he wouldn't have caught Bartman ball in 2003 NLCS - MLB

He decides to say this NOW? What was he waiting for? Maybe THIS is an April fools joke.

I am a huge Cubs fan and I NEVER blamed Bartman for what went down in that game.

He wasn't going to catch that anyway, and besides, it is the cubs, they are like ISU, they would have found a different way to lose that one.

They did.....

He for sure would have caught that. His glove was right under the the ball. But thats not the reason they lost, Alex Gonzalez is the reason why they lost.

You sure he wasn't just ramblin in the men's room pissing on his hands when he was just talking and some gomer overheard him?

I am FAR from sure he would have caught it. But it is obvious it didn't cost the Cubs that game or the series for that matter.

In any case, Alou is a classless individual IMO. He said what he said back then, and now comes out and says what he said today.

I freaking love it!

I've never thought Bartman was at fault, he was not the only fan going for that ball. Nice that Alou waited this long to say this though, would have been better had he said it right after it happened instead of having Bartman go through the hell he did for that play.

Wasn't Bartman an inspiration for a character on Southpark and the Simpsons. Just April fooling.

I've been saying this since the night of that fateful game. If Alou hadn't had a miniature hissy fit after that play people may not even know the name Steve Bartman.

Heard the Cubs are threatening a couple of those building viewers if they do not pay 17% of their profits by 15 Apr. How many seats are outside the ballpark? Zambrano had a blister problem first game. Pie still hitting about the same. F^&***ukadome had 3 of their 5 hits including as homer and a base running blunbder. Another loss in extra innings. THE CUBS ARE BACK BIGGER AND BETTER.
