ESPN 30 For 30 - Catching Hell Steve Bartman Story Part 6/10

When Chicagoan Steve Bartman fatefully deflected a foul ball in Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, the city's long-suffering Cubs fans found someone new to blame for their cursed century without a World Series title. Director Alex Gibney explores the psychology of die-hard sports fans, the frightening phenomenon of scapegoating, and the hysteria that turned mild-mannered Bartman into the most hated man in Chicago.

I hope the Cubs stay cursed forever for the way their fans acted. The curse won't be lifted until they give Steve Bartman season tickets for life and issue a public apology and Wrigley Field gives steve a 20 minute standing ovation.

The only curse the cubs and fans have is fear of failure. like I am a cubs fan and I witnessed fear in everyones eyes during that game at a point everyone took on the eyes of being a perfectionist. This game had to go perfect in other words from all the cubs and the fans. When that situation happened everyone let that situation get to their heads, and once they lose that postive mental state we became our own demise. We just did not want to admit the only fail that happen was failing ourselves.

The crackhead gonzalez could have made that play! The crackhead rest of the cubs could have won in game 7. OR game 5 and not even had to worry about game 6!
