The poor folks got carried away, I hope that their names are not made public, they just got caught up in the moment.

8-3 thats a freakin tradgedy.

But reaching for a ball is a reflex and anyone who says different is just full of crap or has never been to a ball game.

/me crosses fingers for game 7, Florida must be defeated http://www.blaise.us/emots/hands.gif

that fact just makes my point more correct, they were caught up in it.

Don't give up hope though, in Game 7..you'll see people falling over eachother to get out of the way of the ball :p

under any other circumstances for any other team other than maybe the red sox i would agree with you. ive been to numerous ball games and i am well aware of the desire to get a baseball. however, when you assume the responsibility of a front row seat in any game, youve got to pay more attention than the other fans and let the players play the game. especially when its the playoffs, especially when your team is the chicago cubs, and especially when they are 5 OUTS FROM THE WORLD SERIES! i dont want to hear any excuses for this guy, he has got to be aware of the situation and he remember what is at stake here and let alou make the play. i am furious at this guy and im not even a cubs fan. i can only imagine what many cubs fans would do if they could get their hands on him. he was escorted out of the park for his own safety by security guards after being drenched in beer by the surrounding fans. i hope for this guys safety and i hope this doesnt ruin his passion for baseball, but there's no excuse for that.

i dunno what to say

i dunno what to do

i got on the train with a 3-0 lead

i was in shock when i saw my gf's face when she picked me up.

i'm still in shock.

i can't describe what i feel right now.

15+ years i've waited for this day.

year after year, i said "there's always next year!"

i never thought we'd get this close. i didn't even care about winning that much. it was just about staying a fan, no matter how hard it got. it was about watching the games with other cubs fans, always trying to be positive.

please wake me up from this nightmare...

hang in there man, i may not know what its like to wait that long for a world series, but i sure know the disappointment of losing in the playoffs, hey youve still got tomorrow..hopefully the cubbies will still pull it off.. if theres a manager who can calm these guys down, its dusty..

but if the cubs lose tomorrow, that fan's life is ruined

I got so sick of hearing about that damn fan today. All the Cubs fans were whining and crying because that guy lost them the game. Sure that was one factor, but did that guy give up 8 runs? Did that guy make an error on a ground ball? Did that guy give up a double with 2 outs and a man on second? 'Nuff said.

    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.

      In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.

      Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
