If there is anyone more deserving of your pity right now, it is that poor, headphones-wearing Cubs fan from last night's game. He puts his arms up to catch a foul ball and the next thing he knows he's become the scapegoat for the Cubs horrible defense. Its not like he reached over the wall and dragged in a home run. He stuck his arm out - on his side of the wall - and tried to catch a foul ball. The Cubs didn't give up any runs on that play, they just didn't get the out. Everything would have been fine if they hadn't walked the batter on the next pitch, and then given up hit after hit for the rest of the inning. And now the Chicago Sun-Times, The Smoking Gun, ESPN, and our own St. Louis Post-Dispatch are publishing his name and, in some cases, his address. If anything happens to this guy, I hope whoever does it goes to jail. And the Cubs deserve to lose tonight for blaming their poor performance on their fan.

I feel really, really sorry for that guy. He wasn't doing anything that anyone else wouldn't have done. You can't help but just feeling incredibly sad for him.

With the way that guy catches balls, I'm surprised the Cubs haven't signed him up.
