Maybe you don't pay attention to baseball as closely as you think. Cubs have already hit a rough patch, they lost series after series for awhile there against the Brewers Cardinals Nationals and Reds.
You must really hate the Cubs man, its not like we are on here predicting a world series parade. We are all huge Cubs fans, that haven't had much winning in our lifetime. So we are happy when our favorite team puts together the best start to a season in a long time. Does that piss you off that much?
If you want to come here and rip the Cubs cause they have gotten owned by the Brewers so far, by all means, thats what rivalries are for. But right now brutha it just seems like sour grapes.0 -

Believe me, as a Cubs fan in Milwaukee, they are VERY sour, and I love it!! Many Brewer fans are ready to throw in the towel up here. I give them props on signing Braun, actually ripping him off, he could get a lot more in a few years. However their lack of pitching will do them in.

Ahhh he wanted to stay in Milwaukee and to him it wasn't about the money. Not many players think like that anymore so good for Braun and his choice. Yup our pitching will be the end of us. If you win the central don't choke like last time in the playoffs.eddievedder1977 wrote:Maybe you don't pay attention to baseball as closely as you think.

Oh just relax will you. You Cub fans are no fun.
And yes I dislike the Cubs with a passion.
I dislike Cub fans more then the actual team. Why cause most of the time your all drunk and just talking shit how great your team is and this is the year. I have one friend that is a Cubs fan. He told me the Cubs were born to lose. LOL0 -

On April 17, 2008, during the top of the eighth inning of a game between the Chicago Cubs and the Cincinnati Reds at Wrigley Field in Chicago, Illinois, Brennaman made comments about Cubs fans and the Cubs team.[2] His statements were aired over the Reds Radio Network broadcast of the game on 700 WLW (AM).
"This is the kind of thing, quite honestly, right now, that makes you want to see the Chicago Cubs team lose. Among all baseball fans, and I can't attest to the Yankees or Red Sox, because we don't see them with any degree of regularity unless it's inter-league play, but far and away the most obnoxious fans in baseball, in this league, are those who follow this team right here. Throwing 15 or 18 balls onto the field, there's absolutely no excuse for that, and that is so typical of Chicago Cubs fans. It's unbelievable."
"You simply root against 'em. Ya'know, I've said all winter they talked about this team winning the division, and my comment is they wont win it, because at the end of the day, they still are the Chicago Cubs, and they will figure out a way to screw this whole thing up."
On April 18, 2008, Brennaman appeared in an interview on Chicago, Illinois sports radio station WMVP-AM 1000 in which he reinforced his position on Cubs fans, and compared Chicago Cubs fans to rival St Louis Cardinals fans.
"If they can't understand what happened Wednesday night was completely over the top, then I'm sorry," Brennaman said. "I said how tough it is to root for the Cubs. I think a lot of people feel the same way I do, but they won't articulate it. I'm not afraid to say what I think."
"[Compared to Cubs fans] Cardinals fans are hands down the best in baseball. They respect the game. They don't go to the game to do stupid stuff."
"The Cubs have some great baseball fans. But the ones who act like idiots (ruin) it for people like me."0 -

Hmmmm sounds like a great guy.
Most of you are ok and then well there's the rest of you. lol
I did like Harry Caray and his love for the Cubs. But I was younger then and the dislike for the Cubs wasn't there like it is now. I enjoy it and that's no lie.
But it's just a game and that's as far as I take it.0 -

That catch has nothing on Reed Johnsons catch earlier in the year. I was watching the game with a cards fan and I told him Felix Pie would have been sitting under that ball. Heehee!!!
I could not beleive I was cheering for Edmonds.

Yeah, Edmonds plays waaaaay in. Was a hell of a catch, but Pie and Johnson would have made it look easier.0 -
