Ouch. The Curse of Bernie Mac.

Thoughts on the game last night (prefaced again that, like Coltrane, I am not a Cubs fan...):
1. Only had access to radio for most of the game until about halfway through the meltdown, but when I heard Bernie say "Champs" over and over, I thought: a.) Jinx, and b.) Marlins are gonna get pissed hearing that.
2. Will not be surprised to see this lead on a story in the Trib. in the future: "Jared the Subway Guy Beaten to Death During Promotional Appearance, Mistaken for Cubs Fan Who Cost Cubs Series"
3. Saw a dumbass on local TV this morning who seemed surprised he was tossed from the park after confronting the guy and threatening him... People are actually trying to track him down. It's downright scary. He may have to leave town if they lose. Of course, then the Sox fans would throw him a parade.
The media already know who he is, as they are reporting his age. I've also heard where he supposedly went to school.
4. Dusty gets some of the blame for loading the bases on the intentional walk and for leaving Prior in. Steve Stone (Cubs TV/radio analyst) said immediately before the meltdown that Prior looked gassed and had hung a couple of pitches that he was lucky were fouled off.
