Cubs or Indians?

Buddy of mine said if the Cubs win, they need to let Steve Bartman throw out the first pitch next season.

Amazing how much crap the guy got and he actually had very little to do with the Cub's loss that year. What happened with him was nothing close to what happened in the following innings.

The Cubs had a 3-0 lead in the 8th inning and gave up 8 runs that inning.

Sports Illustrated: "But blaming the fan ignores several important facts. The first is that the Marlins had five hits in that inning, none of them by Castillo, who walked later in his fateful at-bat. Second, Chicago subsequently issued two intentional passes that also came around to score. Third, and most importantly, with runners on first and second and one out, and with the Cubs still up 3-1, shortstop Alex Gonzalez booted a sure out, an error that made five of the eight runs that Florida scored in the inning unearned."

The, in Game 7 the very next night, the Cubs blew a 5-3 lead and lost the series to the Marlins- Bartman wasn't there.
