Chicago Cubs, you squander your 3 run lead in the eighth inning and let the Marlins score 8. And an assumed Cubs fan may have interfered with a play! This, of course, reminds New Yorkers of little 12 year-old Jeff Maier (ranked number 4 on The Sporting News' list of the top 25 Unusual and Unforgettable Baseball moments) who turned a possible fly ball into a home run for Derek Jeter, helping the Yankees win Game 1 of the 1996 ALCS. However, the Chicago last night correctly ruled no fan interference, but that doesn't mean Moises Alou ain't pissed. If it all hangs on that moment, then maybe next year? And while watching the local Chicago Fox station's post-game coverage, the sports reporter claimed that the kid who caught the ball was escorted out of the park by security with his sweater over his head. NBC 5 reported that a firefight sitting next to Chicago public enemy number one said the ball looked to be coming at the fan and if in fact the fan had interfered, the firefight would have shoved him out of the way. Brilliant.

NY Times: Cubs Handed One More Cruel Twist. Game 7, Chicago-Florida, is tonight.
And Mayor Bloomberg and Mayor Menino doubled their "friendly" ALCS bet. Their announcement was peppered with references to crazy old-man pushing Game 3. Boston's mayor is offering up "a Legal Seafoods clambake of lobsters, steamers, linguica and “REAL” clam chowder from four to eight servings." The New York side of the bet. The Yankees lead the series, 3 games to 2. Game 6 is today.

No no no no no! Look at Alou's arm -- it is directly above his head. And look at Fan Boy -- his legs are against the wall and his arms are stretched straight out in front of him. Interference! Not that I think it would have mattered . . .
Cap-boy very well may have cost the Cubs an out, but he didn't certainly lose the game for them.
How come nobody's screaming about Alex Gonzalez blowing an easy play? Or Farnsworth's cruddy pitching after Prior imploded?
Poor Cubbies -- fingers crossed they redeem themselves in Game 7.
I see no credit to your illustration. Thats a no-no if it's swiped from an artist. (oh and the pay thing) I guess it's also an issue with most of the photos too.
Uh, and you don't think that applies to photos, too?
ugh. legal seafoods is chain food. that's no prize. it's more like a threat.
