People are blaming a fan for preventing Moises Alou from catching a foul ball because after that, the Marlins scored 8 runs in that inning.

My opinion is: People are looking for someone to blame for all of this and I'm upset that security was forced to change his jacket and quickly get him out of Wrigley because of fans who were going at him.

What's your opinion?

EDIT: Got the right link

It was good to get him out. He's going to get his ass whooped sooner or later.
I'm not saying it right, but it's baseball.

Stuff like this reminds me why I don't have much interest in sports. It counted as a foul ball so if the pitcher and the outfield screwed up the do-over that's their own damn faults. 8 runs in that inning?! lol. If that's not proof that they lost because they suck, I don't know what is ;P

You know what's really bad? I'm hearing on the radio that they printed this guys name, address, and place of work in the newspaper. How outragous is that? They don't even do that with criminals. (Don't know how much of this is true, but it's on the radio.)

The media really crossed the line here....I hope he starts a lawsuit.

Boston....

Heh, I live near Philadelphia.

The Vet had an actual court and judge that operated specifically during Eagles games. The new stadium probably does too.

Come on...grow up people...

I think blaming a lost game on a fan catching a foul ball is ridiculous. If the team is so good something like that wouldn't even affect them.
