    Cubs Alou says he would NOT have....

    caught the Bartman ball in Game 6 in the NLCS. I was watching that game and I have always thought that Alou would have never caught that ball either. It is nice to see him finally admit it, what 5 years ago.



    Finally, hopefully Steve Bartman can live without this monkey on his back from now on.

    you know, maybe if he had said it FOUR YEARS AGO, it wouldnt have turned out the way it did. He thought he would have caught it at the time. I still say he most likely could have, but thats not why they lost. thats on freakin gonzo at SS.

    His reaction at the time. His reaction later, all that says he thought he could catch it. and of course if the SUNTIMES hadnt put his information out there, he likely gets off scott free.

    Cubs fans and media should be ashamed of themselves for the way Bartman was treating. Why don't we know the names of the other ten people going for the ball? Alou is 5 years late on this one. Never could understand how people can blame the Cubs troubles on a foul ball.

    On top of that Bartman recieved death threats, and if I am not mistaking, he moved out of the Chicagoland, and quite possibly IL all together.

    Doesn't matter now Moises. It's all water under the bridge at this point. Bartman's name and legacy is forever tarnished and Alou is long gone from the Cubbies now. Doesn't matter.
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    I thought the Mayor or Governor of Florida bought him a house in Florida?
