I hate to say it, but complaining about if a ball is foul or fair, or if a fan interfered with a play is a CUBS fan's way of explaining a loss. I was with you on the "Not capitalizing on opportunities", That is USUALLY what loses games, but leave the excuses to the CUBS.
Here's a fun game, let's keep track of how many times the "Billy Goat Curse" is used to describe the Cubs losses, or how many times a fan touched a ball that was CLEARLY over the wall (Didn't seem to stop Uribe last fall though), etc....
