Chicago Tribune: Morrissey: It’s time for sincere apologies to Bartman

Morrissey goes after Mary Otti:

And how about an apology from Lord Voldemort over at the Sun-Times, who suggested in a column Wednesday that “the cold war should end” and Bartman should throw out the first pitch at a Cubs game this season.

That’s precious.

This is the same Voldemort who has mentioned Bartman in 107 columns since Game 6 on Oct. 14, 2003, including a very impressive collection of 11 columns in a four-week span ending last October, when the Diamondbacks swept the Cubs in the playoffs. If my math is correct, that averages out to a mention of Bartman once every two weeks for 4 1/2 years. That’s quite the cold war.

A few excerpts:

“Then there are those wacky Wrigley fans, who evidently haven’t learned from Bartman’s shame—oh, how I’ve ached not to mention his name—and twice interfered with live balls Friday.” (June 19, 2007)

Although it never seems to stick, it’s always good fun when the Trib shines light on his windsocking ways.
