Instead, after his teammates C-H-O-K-E-D, he threw Bartman under the bus instead of his loser teammates.<br /><br />Don't believe me? Fine, how about believing the man himself: http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3324343<br /><br />The Cubs now have three curses: Fred Merkle (no World Series titles since the Cubs' underhanded 1908 triumph over the Giants); The Goat (no World Series appearances since Billy Sianis' goat was denied attendance in 1945); and Bartman (no postseason victories since).<br /><br />The Cubs and the fans need to do right by Bartman. He didn't boot a sure inning-ending DP. He didn't blow a 2-run lead. He had nothing to do with a Game 7 that the Cubs led with their ace on the mound.<br /><br />The Cubs' suckitude is on them, no one else.<br /><br />YKWAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
