Its all academic now

Well, Mike... what i meant was it looked like the ball was drifting back into the direction of fair, maybe blown back in from the spin and the wind.
And I think absolutely Alou timed that jump right and that out would/could have changed the outcome of the whole game.........
But, its all academic now isnt it??
I heard they had to escort that guy out of the park that particular day, he had to call in sick from work the next day, had to change his phone number, had helicoptors buzzing his home both game days, all day, all night. press lined up and down his street.
He released a sincere, tear filled statement,(which i believe)..something to the effect that "everyone was reaching..if i had any idea it Alou had a play i would have backed off. Im sorry to all cubs fans everywhere".
His only chance was if the Cubbies won last night and we all know how that went....PHHHHHHT!
Im a Dodger fan, but I was caught up in the idea of a Cubs/ Soxs world series. The Cubs had more than their chance to pull it off, they blew it, the man in the stands will be blamed foreever. a new curse for the cubs to worry about, every time october rolls around.
what a shame! really!
