July 31, 20178 yr Yeah, only Jesus would have forgiven Bartman had the Cubs entered this season still lacking that World Series trophy...quite easy to be magnanimous now. Just like JR approving Q trade. Would never have happened had they instead lost to the Indians.

Yea, it never would have happened because they wouldn't have won the World Series and wouldn't have had a ring to give away lol
August 5, 20178 yr They miss Nats top three guys, if Nats Dodgers or Indians were close to healthy last year this rebuild is still a work in process.
August 5, 20178 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 5, 2017 -> 03:05 PM) The 3rd best team in baseball employs both Edwin Jackson and Matt Albers. Wasn't Jacob Turner on their roster, too?
August 5, 20178 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 31, 2017 -> 10:32 PM) How sweet that they finally "forgive him" after they win. Good take. I was watching the WGN broadcast of this on its Website and they interviewed two Cub fans. The first asshole said, 'Never forget.' And he ripped Bartman and said something like he'd like to punch him. The other fan was nice. To the first fan I'd say, first of all, what do you do for a living? Bartman never let all those distractions interfere with him earning a living without having to move from Chicago. The guy obviously likes the city and he didn't run and hide, he actually pulled off continuing to lead a productive life in Chicago. I'd like to see if that asshole fan could have done the same thing. Not easy to just return to work and community life like nothing happened. And also, guess what, Mr. Fan on WGN? You would have gone after the foul ball as well, cause that's what fans do. A 10 dollar baseball or whatever its worth turns into the Crown Jewel when it is hit in a fan's direction. Fans go for foul balls. Case closed. What happened to Bartman was awful. Now, some of Bartman's statements through his lawyer have come across as moderately pompous, but still. He didn't do anything illegal. He foolishly went for a foul ball like that same fan interviewed by WGN would have done. I am kind of in favor of the Cubs doing this, just because I'm in favor of anything nice tossed Bartman's way. I respect the guy for not having to move from Chicago and not letting that incident totally ruin his life. Edited August 5, 20178 yr by greg775

August 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 08:11 PM) I've always liked him. Guys with his arm and athleticism don't grow on trees. And now he's hitting the ball 425 feet a couple of times a week
August 6, 20178 yr Cub fans on my Facebook have been really quiet all season expect when they took first place.
August 6, 20178 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Aug 6, 2017 -> 04:35 PM) Are the Nationals the first good team that the Cubs have faced since the break? Arizona is in the wild card spot and they took 2 of 3.
