Some guy does what any of us would do in his shoes, and the next thing you know he’s Public Enemy No. 1. I realize in this day and age that the Cubs fan in question would’ve been named by somebody and that once news organizations had his name they’d have to run with. But for Christ’s sake (really, I’m talking Jesus — you know the Great Forgiver), can’t we cut this guy some slack? The Cubs pitchers, coaches, hitters and fielders folded under pressure in games six and seven, and that’s what cost them their chance to lose the World Series. Let’s leave this guy alone with his heartbreak and move on. And maybe try to keep our perspective the next time.
