[/font][font "Arial"] The man some fans blame for Tuesday night's Cubs loss because he reached out and might have kept left fielder Moises Alou from catching a foul ball is a diehard Cubs fan who works for a consulting firm in the north suburbs and coaches youth baseball. [/font]

[font "Arial"]In a chant that could be heard on the national telecast of the game, fans all over Wrigley Field joined in cursing [size 3]Steve Bartman [/size]after he got his hand on the foul ball off the bat of the Florida Marlins' Luis Castillo in the eighth inning. Castillo went on to walk, and the Marlins, who entered the inning down 3-0, went on to score all eight of their runs en route to an 8-3 victory that sent the National League Championship Series to a deciding seventh game tonight.

[font "Arial"]You are absolutley right Sean. People were threatening this guys life in the stands. Several people were escorted out of the stadium that attempted to assualt him and he finally had to be escorted out himself after being assualted with beer and food.[/font]

[font "Arial"]If anything happens to him he will have a great lawsuit against the papers! [/font][/size]
