Watch Bartholomew Whoops and the Bad, Bad Ball 58353y

Aided by the kind of whimsical watercolors one last saw in kindergarten, Tom Palazzolo and host Turk Muller head to Wrigley Field to wind a children's fable about a young butterfingers named Bartholomew Whoops who cannot hold onto anything: not a bowl of batter, not a plate of plantains and certainly not a foul ball being run down by Chi-Cargo Cups left fielder Moses Aloualoualou. BARTHOLOMEW WHOOPS AND THE BAD BAD BALL finds its inspiration in Game 6 of the 2003 National League Championship Series, in which fan Steve Bartman found himself blamed for costing Chicago what was almost its first NL pennant since 1945. Palazzolo's Chi-Cargo treats Bartholomew Whoops much better than Chicago did Bartman; in moments, the left-field lower deck comes to the same realization that they "will live to lose another game," a sentiment Chicago itself has only come to ten years on. Keep an eye out for billy goats. - Tom Fritsche 317033
