    I have not heard a harsh word said about the guy since basically 20 minutes after it happened.

    Again: Yuppies at Wrigley Field aren't gunning people down. I walk eight blocks and back through downtown every day. I've never so much as seen a punch.

    Did you see that show about him? Might have been a 30 for 30. Never underestimate lone nuts.

    It was a 30-for-30 ... and the only way I think it could be made right is if he gets to slap that beer-throwing, shit-eating-grin guy around with a rotten carp for about half an hour ...

    Who should throw out the first pitches?

    Game 3: Lee Elia
    Game 4: Leon Durham
    Game 5: Steve Stone.

    No one will shoot Bartman but, given the average BAC around Wrigleyville during a game, something really bad will be brewing.

    I was impressed that maybe I missed it but it seemed like the broadcast last night didn't bring him up.

    Steve Stone is employed by the White Sox.

    I expect to see Samdberg. He'd be the favorite player of the most prevalent generation of Cub fans.

    One game, Instead of a first pitch they should get descendants of Tinker, Evers and Chance to turn a first double play.

    Exactly.

    But then, what happens if, on the turn, the throw goes over Chance's head and fatally injures a 9-year-old, who is there with her father battling terminal brain cancer?

    These are the Cubs we are taking about. Gotta take all possibilities into consideration.
