When you're inside the wall and the ball is on the ground, you can't see it. I think the guy reached over in the hopes that he could catch it, maybe if it bounced up. I suspect he wasn't watching Sheffield, but the ball. Varitek hit a rope. And it just didn't look to me like he was taking a swing a Sheffield. Then again, I was 3,000 miles away.

"While some friendly House calls are rolling into WEEI to defend their friend, season ticket holders are also calling in with damaging tales regarding the seven-ticket season ticket holder and former Curry College football coach's trouble making, fight picking, and excessive drinking in the seven seats he holds tickets for."
"House told girlfriend he was "going for the ball." But his friend who "spoke to Chris this morning" tells WEEI's Dennis & Callahan that House told him he was "doing the windmill" to wave the runners around. Yeah right. Delusionial fanboys say he was trying to catch his friend who looked like he was falling on the field. Or maybe House was telling the other fans to pull their hands up (even though the ball was right in front of Chris at that point and well past other fans). Spin city continues for townie who got caught taking a sneaky cheap shot on Sheff"
"This is what happens when Red Sox Nation "cardholders," who don't know enough to keep their hands in the stands, go to games instead of real baseball fans, who can't get tickets to Fenway anymore.
Sheff should have clocked the assclown who, even if Sox fanboys and girls blindly give the punk the benefit of the doubt, was trying to turn Tek's triple into a double at best. Inexcusable. Ban him from Fenway for two years."
'"He just said he was going for the ball."
-- Chris House's dilusional fiancee in denial'
"At first he (the fan) is (looking right down at Sheffield), but by the time he's completed the swipe he's looking toward the field because, IMO, he's pretending to be oblivious to the fact that a major league baseball play is taking place directly in front of him. The guy did it on purpose. Period. It would take some serious speculative ability to make the case that it was unintentional. Watch the video. It's obvious." -- Arock78 on SoSH
'According to fan Chris Lyons, 19, of Milton, who was sitting nearby, "(House) definitely tried to hit him. You could tell. And right away, Gary looked up and went nuts." -- Boston Herald, Michael Silverman'
And on the beer throwing guy:
"I'm definitely in your corner as far as House goes, but I've got to disagree with your assessment on the guy in the GAP sweatshirt. Yes, he had a girl next to him, but she wasn't what made him spill his beer on Sheffield. I suggest you watch clip on mlb.com and take a closer look, particularly to the footage at the 2:40 mark. Gap Guy takes a sip of his beer, sees Sheffield in front of him and jerks his wrist forward, projecting the wrest of the cups remains onto Sheffield's jersey.
Furthermore, you'll notice that while the woman in the white gloves had her arm wrapped around GAP Guys, at the time of the beer spilling, she was NOT making contact with him. The thrust of the cup forward was WAY too much for it to be caused by the girl pulling back on him (which she didn't even do until AFTER the beer was tossed).
In closing, both GAP Guy and the other guy are complete jerks and I hope they are never allowed into Fenway Park again."
-- Dan
"The G.A.P. guy clearly flicked his beer onto Sheffield's back; it wasn't forced out of his cup by the girl pulling him back. Take a look at the tape again. If he has season tix, his should be lifted just like that galumph Chris House's unlucky 7."
