Bartman documentary on tonight.

Still SMH at that whole incident. Gonzalez lost that game.

really? who overcooked Prior? why, a Baker, of course.

Sure was a nice pitch he threw to induce the grounder to Gonzo......

That was one of the best sports documentaries I've ever seen. Really, really well done. Makes you really feel for the guy.

pitch count was up.

what was the plan?

you play 175 games to get within 2 f'n innings of The Show, you SET UP, you CLOSE.

don't start with me mister, it's taken me years to get over that.....now that they're horrible, it seems like only a bad dream.

I always thought the Gonzalez error was the biggest play of the game. Prior was oustanding that year, especially down the stretch. In Aug-Sept-Oct, going into that game, including playoffs - 12-1 with a 1.55 ERA, 107 K's in 98 2/3 IP's.

The documentary was kind of drawn out IMO (they treated the foul ball footage like it was the Zapruder film), however I never knew that Bartman had three friends with him at the game, who basically abandoned him.....

Another thing I learned was that due to the Fox TV telecast, they said that the radio broad cast was on a seven second delay as well.....How can you be at a game and listen to it on the radio with a headset with a delay?

Guh gree that Prior should've been given the hook after the first baserunner....

Meanwhile, Dusty's bakin' arms now in Cincy! Volquez is already fried.....

let's explore a little deeper......

Dusty is no dummy. he props his cleat up on that top step of the dugout and thinks, "Nah. I ain't doing this again. And this ain't Russ Ortiz."

a conflagration of events. an innocent foul pop.

the Chicago Cubs organization IS cursed. forever.
