    Try being a Cubs fan who lives in Milwaukee, you'd think differently. Most are fine, it's just the people who have never followed the Brewers that talk shit and think they know baseball. Weak ass band wagon fans, what a joke and a disgrace to baseball. Believe me I know the Cubs have many a bandwagon fans and I hate them too. Bandwagon fans suck. Those games should be interesting next week at Wrigley North (yes I'm calling it that cause when it first opened it was 80% Cubs fans for Cubs Brewers games). I'm guessing it will be a little different this year.

    Ain't that the truth! It aint Cards fans Sox fans or Brewer fans I hate the most, its bandwagon fans! I've supported the Cubs through 100+ loss seasons, don't wait until the playoffs to start asking me if I "watched" the game last night. Of fucking course I watched it. Morons.

    And yeah man its got to be pretty rough up there dealing with that shit. But I'd assume it would be similar to dealing with Sox fans giving us shit around my parts as well.

    You heard it here first...

    DUMB FUCKING MOVE.

    Why not Sean Marshall? This is not the time of year to be experimenting with a guy who has only been in AAA for part of a single year, let alone the bigs.

    and also... where did anyone hear that Samardzja (sp?) is going to start? I heard they were going to use him in the Closer role until Woody gets back... which is almost as fucking dumb.

    Don't blow it Cubbies. Sox are pulling well into first again, you guys are now tied with Milwaukee. Better hold up your end if you want a cross-town World Series..

    Yes it is. Going to all 4 games in Milwaukee at Wrigley North. GO CUBS GO!!!! In all honesty I'm perfectly fine with a split, anything better, great, but losing 3/4 or 4/4 is something I could see having a long term negative effect.

    Some fantastic pitching matchups this series. Would love to take 3/4 or sweep but we shall see!

    Huge win indeed. Cubs absolutely stole that game and I love it!! Brewers completely played themselves out of it with stupid base running decisions, and oh, oh, who could foget Rickie Weeks's great defense at 2nd. It's only the 1st game, but it sets it up nicely to hopefully at minimum get 2 of the 4. GO CUBS!!

    Was electric in there, can't wait for tonight. Nice to see fans of both teams standing during big moments during the game. It's a sporting event and it's refreshing to see people stand up and cheer. I hate when no one stands during big moments.

    Almost playoff atmosphere. As pureoc said, nice to see both sides of fans going nuts for their teams. Not exactly Wrigley North like in the past, but still a ton of Cubs fans there. Then again, thats the same in almost every ballpark

    Big win last night to stay ahead. Tonight woudl be just as big against Sheets.

    I thought 90 wins would take this division but it looks like 100+ will be needed. So much for the weakest division in baseball. Does anyone look at the crappy teams out West?

    Go CUBS!!!
