Hello folks, or at least the three of you who read this blog. It's been awhile since I've posted and I know I'm a couple weeks late seeing as the season is almost two weeks old.

I know it's a little late, but I have to approach this topic. Keep in mind this isn't a shot at Cubs fans or even just the Cubs. This is a shot at Moises Alou.

I'm not sure if you heard this story or not, but Moises Alou recently said this: "Everywhere I play, even now, people still yell, 'Bartman! Bartman!' I feel really bad," Alou told the Associated Press. "You know what the funny thing is?" he added. "I wouldn't have caught it anyway."

Okay, so you effectively ruin this guy's life by screaming at him and acting like a Grade A douche bag. Bartman goes into hiding and has had death threats and all of that. You say after the game you would have caught the ball and then 4 1/2 years later, you just nonchalantly say, "Eh, I wouldn't have caught it."

And, "you feel bad?" You feel bad? No, feeling bad is something you do when you have to cancel plans with someone. You should feel awful, terrible, and a general level of douchebaggery. And that doesn't even begin to cover it. You should feel way worse.

You can just say sorry 5 years down the road and move on. This guy's life is forever altered and ruined. You have a $6 million paycheck to rest your head on at night, and this guy has been getting death threats since the incident.

The only thing that will clear his name will be when the Cubs win the World Series. However, it never should have come to this and that's all thanks to you.

Whoops, I'm sorry.

Didn't Alou say in the "catching hell" documentary that he "definitely would have caught the ball"? He came off in the story as a Grade-A A****le. Right behind the Cub fans that threw beer on Bartman.
