From this evening's Chicago Tribune: "It has nothing to do with the curse," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. "It has to do with fan interference and a very uncharacteristic error by Gonzalez. History has nothing to do with this game, nothing." To add to the hurt, the fan who blocked Alou's path on Luis Castillo's ball was wearing a Cubs hat. Once the rally got in full swing, fans around the man, who looked to be in his early 20s, starting hurling beers in his direction and he was escorted out by security with a jacket over his face. "You cost us the World Series!" one fan yelled at him. ... Left-field umpire Mike Everitt correctly ruled no interference -- unlike 12-year-old Jeffrey Maier in the 1996 ALCS at Yankee Stadium, this fan did not reach over a wall. "I thought we had fan interference, but you can't have fan interference if the ball isn't in the field of play," Baker said. Alou slammed his glove in anger, and many fans in the crowd of 39,577 booed and began to pelt the man with debris. chicagosports.chicagotribune.com Here's a picture of the interference. I wouldn't want to be this guy if the Cubs end up losing tomorrow. espn-ak.starwave.com
