The Cubs just weren’t ready to win the pennant. They were waiting for something to go wrong and when it happened they fell apart. The 2016 Cubs had to overcome far bigger obstacles than giving an opponent an extra out because of fan interference. The 2016 team was ready to win a world championship. That team was also one of the best teams of this century while the 2003 Cubs were one of the worst teams to ever make the playoffs. They were really the 3rd best team in their own division that year. One team was built for it and the other was not.

I don't know which cubs choke is worse, the 1984 choke or the 2003 choke. As bad as both of those chokes were they still aren't as bad as the two ultimate chokes we saw in 1986. The Angels choke in the 1986 ALCS and the Red Sox choke in the 1986 world series. At least the Cubs weren't one strike away from winning only to choke it away which is what both the Angels and Red Sox did in 1986. Those two chokes ruined the lives of former cubs Donnie Moore and Bill Buckner. Perhaps them being former Cubs lead to their teams losing in the end. Bill Buckner was even wearing a cubs battling glove when he made the error at first base when the ball went between his legs. It was coincidentally the same type of error Leon Durham made in the 1984 NLCS. Coincidence? The Curse of the Billy Goat 🐐? Former Cubs players playing for other teams in the post season only to be doomed at the end. Who knows. Also I would like to mention Cubs fan Steve Bartman who went through the same hell that Bill Buckner went through because of what happened during the 2003 NLCS. The ESPN documentary "Catching Hell" goes into detail of the aftermath of what both Bill Buckner and Steve Bartman went through as well as the Cubs 1984 NLCS collapse featuring Leon Durham's error which was similar to Bill Buckner's error. Another coincidence was during that same 1984 season, Bill Buckner was traded to the Boston Red Sox and replaced at first base by Leon Durham. When Leon Durham made that crucial error in the deciding game 5 of the NLCS many baseball fans mentioned that if Bill Buckner was still playing first base for the Cubs in 1984 Bill Buckner would have fielded that ball and wouldn't have let the ball go through his legs which is what happened to Leon Durham. Little did we know what would happen two seasons later. Without a doubt there are many profound coincidences that connect Bill Buckner, Leon Durham, the Cubs, The Red Sox and lastly Steve Bartman. The Curse of the Billy Goat 🐐 vs. The Curse of the Bambino and their tragic after-effects on former Cubs and Red Sox players and a Cubs fan (Steve Bartman). The astonishing and shocking theater that took place during the 1986 ALCS and the 1986 World Series will never be topped or outdone. The Cubs do receive an honorable mention for their 1984 and 2003 NLCS shocking collapses, but still second to the 1986 ALCS and 1986 World Series. History changing coincidences indeed.

Tough one to swallow. I was there 18 years ago. It wasn't the foul ball. It was the error at short that opened the flood gates. Funny how Bartman took the brunt of the loss and not Gonzalez.

The error only happened because there was one out. Two outs and he wouldn’t have bobbled the ball.

Looking back, I feel bad for Prior, not being taken out of the game. He had to deal with all that negative energy on the mound. Baker should have taken him out just after seeing how the energy shifted in the stadium and on the field. Prior was pitching his ass off, and all those negative emotions around him took him completely out of the game. Moreover, Alou greatly overreacted on the play. I understand if he would have been mad for a second, but he just let that anger linger for too long. The Cubs were only 2 outs away from getting out of the inning with a 3-run cushion and their ace on the mound. He should have just let it go, and MAYBE the Cubs wouldn't have fallen apart like they they did.

This is still so sickening 21 years later smh. The Cubs and every single fan in that ballpark showed their mental weakness by letting a damn FOUL BALL suck the air out of that whole stadium. Blaming a FAN for an 8 run meltdown. Oct 14, 2003 was the biggest embarrassment as a Cubs fan in the last 40 years

The cubs giving away game is bad enough. I still am and will never be over 84. The Cubs had to give up Homefield advantage cause no lights? So why didnt they play 3 in San Diego then finish with day games in Chicago? Game 5 was a 1pm game in San diego? So cubs lost a home game cause no lights to lose a day game!!!
