In 2003 every single Cubs fan blamed Steve Bartman for their team choking against the Marlins. Before any Cubs fans say "Not all Cubs fans blamed Bartman" go ahead and watch any documentary about the Bartman incident, there wasn't a single Cubs fan in that crowd as Bartman was being escorted out that was defending him and not angry at him. Bartman was treated like absolute scum by Cubs fans and it was disgusting. Never has a fanbase exposed themselves as such embarrasment as the Bartman incident. So yes - every Cubs fan did in fact blame Bartman.

In the 1940s they blamed a goat for some reason.

Who will be the scapegoat this year? We all know the Cubs won't win the World Series. You can take it to the bank.

PEEJ picked the Cubs in the Cubs postseason thread. We already know we're doomed.

Take it to the bank just like your shitty worthless college football spreadsheet bets?

What will you do if Kershaw shuts down the Cubs in the NLCS?

The fact that the postseason is a crapshoot and even the best team (which the Cubs were this regular season by far) won't win the World Series 4 out of 5 times.

So if you didn't shout down or challenge the drunken idiots who were railing at Barman....you blamed Bartman? Not a logical conclusion IMHO.

I would agree but that was such a weird and unprecedented series of events, instigate by Alou screaming and pointing in the stands. I don't have time to break it down as to why I take issue with the sentiment you have there, but I've been to probably 70 games at Wrigley and met hundreds of Cub fans and I can absolutely attest what you saw that night is in no way a standard representation of Cub fans any more than the US Ryder Cup fans are represented by the idiots cursing at Rory at that event.

I'll blame the team if they don't win, which is exactly where thw blame should fall. They are the ones on the field playing the game.

I hope you lose a few thousand on the baseball postseason, regardless of who you bet on.

They had the best record in baseball and got swept out of the first round in 08 and probably blamed Bartman again.
