There was a study once showing that the World Series is lost, in a statistically-significant majority of cases, by the team with more former Cubs on the roster.
“Saved his life” is a more figurative term than that. 
**gonzo **obviously meant Bartman’s life has sucked since the catch, and he could have been saved all this shit without it.
Oh, great, we’re in the Pit: When did your Asperger’s first get diagnosed? Or hasn’t it yet?

Oh, Elvis, you’re so cute!
At least the Red Sox must have cheered you up this week. 
Have a great offseason. I look forward to many more sparkling and insightful baseball comments from you next year.
Yea, but fuck 'em anyway, right?
Go Brewers! Go Rays!!
That would be “phuck 'em anyway”. 
The only appropriate response is, of course, a hearty phuck you.
