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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By FunkyMike · Posted

      Gf needed a new Surface and was looking at a Surface Laptop because of the Snapdragon. Seeing as it was a two year old chip she just decided to get a Lenovo Yoga 2 in 1 instead. Personally this Surface Ultra Cassis reminds me a bit of Razor. It would be interesting if it could handle proper gaming and be 17 inch.

      No idea, frankly, I'm not into minimum requirements gaming, but it would be an interesting test to find out. Also, I just have to point out that it wasn't my intention to downplay the performance of DXVK on Linux or Linux gaming in general (despite my own experience being a bit of a mixed bag). I just thought it would be good to point out that DXVK is not Linux exclusive and that you can benefit from using it even in Windows.
    • Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Fastfetch 2.64 released bringing new logos and other improvements by David Uzondu Fastfetch, the popular command-line system information tool that developers created as a fast alternative to the classic Neofetch utility, has updated its codebase to version 2.64, bringing experimental scripting power, streamlined compilation options, a smarter logo renderer, and Codec module support. As noted earlier, Fastfetch can now detect hardware-accelerated video codecs across Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android through this new Codec module. On Linux and BSD, the utility uses VA-API by default, with a fallback to VDPAU on Nvidia hardware if compiled with libva and libvdpau. Windows users get D3D12VA on Windows 11 or D3D11VA with Media Foundation Transforms on older systems, while macOS relies on VideoToolbox and Android utilizes AMediaCodec. You can manually toggle Vulkan Video via the config file, and the program will report both encoders and decoders unless configured otherwise. Logo support for Quasar, Origami, Origami_small, NixOS2, and BerserkArch also landed in this release. BerserkArch, if you have never heard of it, is a specialized Arch Linux derivative that targets security researchers and power users. This distro comes with an offensive security tool manager, simply called berserk, which allows users to install complex hacking toolkits with single terminal commands. Moving on, Fastfetch now has experimental scripting options for custom formats using Lua or QuickJS. The Lua integration supports versions 5.3 through 5.5, sharing a single interpreter instance across all modules so you can store variables globally. T Alternatively, if you prefer JavaScript, you can use QuickJS-ng version 0.15.0 or newer to evaluate your custom formats with the qjs: prefix. Other changes that version 2.64 brings include native CMake compilation flags to disable specific modules to shrink the final binary size. Users can delete unwanted ASCII logo files directly from the source directory before building to save additional space. The format engine now boasts ANSI-escape awareness, meaning you can center text with the new vertical bar specifier without breaking colored outputs. Haiku users receive preliminary support for boot manager, window manager theme, screen brightness, and other basic properties. Finally, the Linux edition now extracts desktop wallpaper and theme details from the modern COSMIC desktop environment.
