Well, basically the fan was doing what fans normally do if a foul ball comes 
there way.  Trying to catch it.  His eyes were on the ball, and he wasn't 
paying attention to whether or not Alou had a play on the ball. Alou was trying 
to catch it, but the fan, also trying to catch it, knocked it away and they 
weren't able to get the out, the batter had another go, and the Marlins got on 
a roll and won the game.  Personally, I think it's stupid to blame the fan for 
the entire series loss.  Sure, that would've been the second out and maybe the 
Cubs would've won the game, but they had plenty of chances and blew it. Don't 
get me wrong, I like the Cubs (though not as much as the Yankees), but they 
really did have plenty of opportunity and blew it.

As for offending baseball fans, I'll take the risk of offending football fans, 
I find it boring because everytime anything gets going everybody falls down, 
whistle blows, they all stop and line up again.  Baseball may last a lot 
longer, but at least nobody blows a whistle when someone drops the ball, you 
can just keep running after it. :)
