Kolek planning to go pro
Except they do the same thing in Cincy, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Miami, San Diego, etc.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
In the past week the Cubs beat Syndergaard, deGrom, and Nola and lost to Vargas, Pivetta, and Davies.Baseball happened.
And let's face it, a lot of Cubs fans come up to Miller Park because it is closer, more convenient and nicer than Wrigley.
I'm not a Cub fan, but for the vast majority of Cub fans Miller Park is farther away (and it's not really close) and less convenient. And (though I think they're crazy) Cub fans I know think Wrigley is the "nicest" place that baseball is played.Tickets to Brewers games are cheaper and easier to come by - that's the big draw.
When Kris Bryant hit his first career homerun at Miller Park in 2015, I was able to get two third row tickets behind the Cubs on-deck circle three days before the game on brewers.com for $90 a piece.No way I could do that at Wrigley.
I'm sure you could have paid $90 for a seat at Wrigley to watch Kris Bryant's first career home run.
Three days before the game on cubs.com for the third row behind on the deck circle? Not a damn chance.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Of course. Chicago is the third largest city in the country and has a lot of transplants. Plus, the Cubs along with the Dodgers, Cardinals, Yankees, and Red Sox have always had one of the most national followings. The bandwagon only got bigger after the World Series win. Naturally, Cubs fans who don't live in Chicago will flood those games the few times that they are in town. Most of those fans don't have ability to go to games at Wrigley. 99% of these fans are not "travelling well", they aren't flying from Chicago to San Diego on the regular to see the Cubs play. The Cubs have more fans everywhere than most teams. The same phenomenon happens with the Yanks, Bo Sox, Dodgers, and Cardinals.What Sultan and Cheebs are correctly pointing out is that most of the Cubs fans who flood Miller park also have the ability to see games at Wrigley because they live within driving distance. Many don't and only attend games at Miller because it is closer, more convenient (which includes cheaper), and nicer than Wrigley.
The stadium is pretty empty tonight.
First day of school for 95% of the kids in Wisconsin.
Yelich reminds me of Billy Williams.
Sure hope Yelich has a better post season career.
