No, definitely not... fans are never responsible for a team blowing a lead in game six and then losing game seven... there's no guarantee that Alou would have caught that ball, and as soon as that play happened, the Cubs immediately imploded, because they knew they could always blame Bartmann for their collapse...\n\nBut the Cubs lost it themselves...and the Marlins won it...\n\n Just like Bill Buckner didn't lose the '86 World Series, his error occured in game 6...plus, Mookie Wilson was fast, there's no guarantee that Wilson wouldn't have beaten the play to first even if Buckner cleanly fielded the ball... the Red Sox pitcher was late covering first, and Buckner was way behind the bag, there's no way he could have beaten Mookie to the base with Mookie's speed and Buckner's bad wheels...\n\nBartmann and Buckner, two unfarily labeled scapegoats...

Absolutely, I would love to see the Cubs win the WS.  If they did I would buy as much stuff as I could afford, because they wouldn't likely repeat in my lifetime.

Hmm  I don't think anyone has yet hit the newly built box adjacent of the batter.  And I think the construction included special tempered glass/plastic?  I am not sure.  Did hear something about it on the news, but got distracted by the kids fighting.  However, I hope that the player would not be responsible.  At least I am hoping.  He has no control of where he hits the ball.  And you are talking about the the home field of the Cubs.  And they definitely have no control this year.  However, I am sure the ball club would consider taking care of it.  Would you offer to pay for the broken window that you hit a ball into?

yes i did it was a good game. Wilson Betimit(sp) and Scott thurman(sp) made to great plays and that sucks that Smoltz and another pitcher from the braves(forgot his name) were injured but Villareal pitched very well and there bullpen only gave up 1 run which is awesome. Hopefully the bullpen can keep that up. Go Braves!!! \n\nThat was pretty funny when A. Jones took a tumble going for the catch, good thing Edgar was there to make the catch.

No I think the Cubs will do better this coming year, not TOO much better though.  I really doubt the Cardinals can repeat.

Being a Cubs fan is not that hard. I love the Cubs. It is not about winning, I love the Cubs, my dad was a Cub fan, he would let me skip school to go to Wrigley and I do that now for my kids. There is more to being a Cub fan than winning, I am just happy when we score, there is something about the Cubs, Wrigley Field, Wrigleyville, everyone is always friendly, No matter what the score or how the season is going true Cubs fans are happy and let nasty comments slide off us still supporting our Northside boys of summer. I grew up watching the Cubs, and they inspired me to play softball. There is no other park like Wrigley(well I have heard Fenway is comparable but have not made it there yet soon i hope though) The Bleacher Bums, the hot dogs, the Beer, I do miss Harry singing and Marla the ball girl I so wanted to be her when I was younger. It has been 34 years and I have and always will stick by my Cubs. No matter what they play hard and are good to their fans! Wrigley is always a sell out win or lose. Anyone that knows me knows I am a Cubs fan, I wear my believe bracelet all year round I truly do believe. I do not believe in the goat curse or blame Bartman, it took my Red Sox  86 years. I have hope and faith that they will win a series in my lifetime, but if not I do not care, I would never foresake my Cubs. I will bleed Cubbie blue til the day I die. \n\nI have tickets to one of the mets-cubs games July15, I must say congrats your loyalty is paying off this year so if my Cubbies can't get to the show this year I hope your Mets do, I have to give them props for a good season, (and I have to admit I did kinda idolize Gary Carter, along with Jody Davis and Keith Moreland in the 80's I am a catcher!!\nI am still waiting for season tickets been waiting for 4 years so far, even before the 2003 season.\n\n(this is a side note to mr drunk bomber! You have no clue what being a fan is, I am there for the Cubs, I may not agree with the GM and yes there are things that could be done, but no matter what the Cubs players do not give up and always play hard for us, what more could any fan want. A person jumping on a bandwagon of a winning team is not a fan, a true fan sticks with the team through thick and thin. You are correct about one thing Wrigley field is the best, there are no fights, everyone is friendly no matter who you are cheering for, there may be an occaisonal razz but it is all in fun No matter if we are having a winning season or one like we are having now Wrigley Field is always a sell out!!! Again I say I am a PROUD CUB FAN!!!!!!!) J-Far I apologize for this but I had to defend my Cubs and Comrads!

Unfortunatly the Chicago Cubs will not come out of their slump once again this year. As always we will continue to be Cubs fans reguardless of weather or not they are winning or losing because thats the kind of fans that we are.

For the people who go to Cub games, and watch and follow the Cubs. "Welcome to the friendly confines" can be read over either dugout. Our fans may have NEVER seen a championship(who has it was in 1908), and the bleachers are mostly drunk, but our fans are 1st class. As long as your not wearing a Sox, Cardinals, or Astros Jersey you should be able to fully  enjoy the game. Congrats on your engament, and I hope you continue to show support for the Cubs, and Wrigley.

Chi Cubs 6, Cincinnati 5\n\n Greg Maddux threw fewer pitches than usual, and got another milestone win. Ryan Dempster threw a lot more than usual, and got a heart-pounding save.\n\nIt takes a lot of the unusual to beat the Cincinnati Reds these days.\n\nMaddux beat baseball's hottest team for the third time this season, and Dempster survived a scare while closing out the Chicago Cubs' 6-5 victory Friday night, ending the Reds' eight-game winning streak.\n\n"Ain't never easy," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "Dang, it was a tough one. We needed this one badly. We were due to win one of these."\n\nThe Cubs emerged from a three-game losing streak with Henry Blanco's three RBIs and a short but solid performance by Maddux (7-5), who has beaten the Reds three times this season. He gave up four hits, including solo homers by Adam Dunn and Scott Hatteberg, in 5 1-3 innings.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\nMaddux's 325th career win broke a tie with Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton for 13th on the career list. Eddie Plank is next on the list, one victory ahead.\n\nMaddux took a grounder off his lower right leg in the third, and Baker didn't hesitate to go to his bullpen early when the Reds threatened in the sixth. He lifted Maddux after only 66 pitches.\n\n"I didn't like the way he was throwing in that one inning," Baker said. "He was getting everything up."\n\nMaddux didn't second-guess the decision.\n\n"That's just trying to win," Maddux said. "Our bullpen's done a great job all year. I didn't see a problem with it."\n\nThe problems came when Dempster got into the game in the ninth with a 6-4 lead. Dempster, who had blown three of his last five save chances, loaded the bases with no outs, then walked Ryan Freel to force in a run.\n\n"Early on, I wasn't fully committed. I don't know why," Dempster said. "I just wasn't there. It took me walking in a run to finally calm down and get it done. It was definitely exciting. My heart's still going."\n\nCincinnati Reds right fielder Austin Kearns misses a double hit by Chicago Cubs' Aramis Ramirez in the seventh inning of a baseball game Friday, June 9, 2006, in Cincinnati. Kearns left the game with a hamstring injury on the play. Chicago won 6-5.\nAP - Jun 9, 10:37 pm EDT\nMore Photos\nDempster struck out Felipe Lopez, got Brandon Phillips to line out, then retired Ken Griffey Jr. on a routine grounder to end it for his 10th save in 13 chances. He threw 35 pitches in that one dramatic one inning.\n\nThe Reds were stunned after their first loss in June.\n\n"We knew we were going to win, but things happen," Phillips said. "When Freel got on base, I said, 'It's over."'\n\nThe Reds got back into the NL Central race with their longest winning streak since 1999. On Friday, they drew their first capacity crowd since an opening-day loss to the Cubs.\n\nThe 41,064 fans cheered loudly for Griffey, back in the lineup after missing two games with a sore thigh. The All-Century outfielder was a .417 career hitter off the four-time Cy Young winner, but grounded out and flied out in their two head-to-head match ups.\n\nBlanco had a two-run double and a sacrifice fly off Elizardo Ramirez (2-5), driving in one run more than the Cubs had managed in their last three games combined. Blanco, one of the NL's top defensive catchers, also threw out Lopez as he tried to steal second base in the sixth inning, undercutting a rally.\n\nMaddux is having a season of extremes. He opened 5-0 for the first time in his career, winning all of his April starts and turning 40 years old along the way.\n\nOnce the calendar turned, so did his fortunes. Maddux went into a 1-5 slump -- the only victory was over Cincinnati -- with a 7.75 ERA in his next seven starts. He was back in form on Friday, which started with more bad news for the Cubs.\n\nRight-hander Kerry Wood went ba
