Even Alou Doesn't Blame Bartman

In an article on ESPN.com, it has been revealed that former Cub and current Met, Moises Alou believes he would not have been able to catch the ball that Steve Bartman interfered with in the 2003 NLCS. Cubs fans all around the world have blamed Bartman for almost five years now. They claim that he was the reason for their gigantic collapse against the Marlins. Ever since that game, I have remained adamant that Bartman had little or nothing to do with the overall collapse and was merely a scapegoat (no pun intended). It is great to hear that the guy he interfered with agrees with this assessment. Hopefully this will help make Bartman's life easier than has been since the event. If the Cubs and their fans are smart, they will do the right thing and invite him back with an apology and a huge ceremony. Imagine how much the Karma Gods would like that move. He could be the poster child for the 2008 Cubs. If it happens, the Brewers might as well stop playing because the Cubs would be in line to win the division, league, and championship. Fortunately for the Brewers and their fans, the Cubs and their fans would never do this and the streak will hit 100 years. Karma is a powerful thing!
