No
Here's why: That would've been the second out of the inning, not the last. You still would have had the Gonzalez error, and the boatload of runs by the Marlins.
We can speculate all we want, but to ask yourself "If Alou makes that catch, are the Cubs playing for the World Series" is pretty fucking stupid. Why don't we just say "If Sosa hit those five home runs tonight, would the Cubs be playing for the World Series?...Yes".
You can do it with a whole number of things. The bottom line is, Alou didn't make the catch, couple that with several other mistakes by the Cubs in their last two games, and we've got all off-season to think about it.
