The collapse of the Dodgers has been quite astounding. Good thing they built up that 25 game division lead or whatever it was. I have to admit I was rooting for the Angels to make the 2nd wild card for 2 reasons, first I wanted Trout back in the playoffs. Secondly, they went for it and tried to get better to make the playoffs, where the Twins took the opposite route. But alas, they really aren't that good (like most of the AL) and played to 4-6 over their last 10. Technically they are still alive, but they aren't playing like it.
I was surprised to see so many empty seats last night and so many graphics on the telecast about tickets still available for this weekend. The crowd was definitely pro-Cubs last night.Is it possible that many Brewers fans don't want to go because there are so many "obnoxious Cubs fans" in the stadium?
These posts are the best. "You're right. I'm so much better than him. I'm better than getting sucked in." (But I continue to carry on.)Lol. If you want to be the bigger man have at it. Me? I enjoy seeing Cubs fans claiming they're so much smarter than everyone else by comparing hurricane relocations of a series to a manager wanting to get his team extra rest for the team's convenience and using the physical appearance of a person's face as proof of a lack of PED use. It's awesome. You two are definitely way smarter than me and very much the bigger men. The difference between us is I have no problem acknowledging that.Having said that:Here's one of millions of Google searches you could do. A guy who's so much smarter than me but can't figure out how to find why athletes might use HGH...https://www.google.com/search?q=benefits+of+hgh+for+athletes&oq=benefits+of+hgh+for+athletes&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0j0i8i30k1.54798.55140.0.55528.4.4.0.0.0.0.115.417.1j3.4.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.4.411...0i7i30k1j0i8i7i30k1.0.K6ZdgPG-aX4
There's a lot of mediocre in the AL this season. The Angels have dropped 4 straight, the M's have dropped 6 straight, the Twins had lost 5 of 6 before last night. In the NL, the Rockies have dropped 4 straight to the Giants and Padres. I don't think this is what MLB was envisioning when they added the second Wild Card.
I'm just embarrassed for him at this point.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
I hope the Brewers don't start doing this. Its not my favorite look that the stadium is half full with Cubs fans, but its our reality. Given the geography, market size, and economics of the fanbases, its not something I feel overly embarrassed about as a Brewers fan. I wouldn't want the Brewers to jack up the prices for Cubs games and then not give MKE market fans first crack, but if its an open market and there are open seats, just gotta let the chips fall where they may.
The Brewers did their fans an early crack at a lot of Cubs tickets this season. They did a discounted weekend presale. The only issue was that the email was sent out to anyone that has purchased from brewers.com. Then the passcode was up for grabs.I actually cut back on Wrigley tickets this year and loaded up on Miller Park games because of this presale.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
"I used to get drawn in by him myself, but I've learned my lesson! I'm a bigger, better man now!" (But I'll continue to go and find cute GIFs to share to show how much of a bigger man I am.)Keep up the good work, MM!
For someone who said "I don't care about sports that much, I barley clapped when Marquette beat Nova" You sure as crap have some huge complex against the Chicago Cubs. News flash, the cubs are rivals with the Cards and the White Sox. Not some team from Milwaukee that can't fill their stadium on a night game in a division race with 3/4 of the attendees for the away team.

Hmmm... stealing an opposing team's ticket code. Where have I heard that before.
The replies on that are almost as bad as Wades. Are Brewer fans just that dumb?
Says the guy who said a tag up was the best play in the history of the World Series.But yeah, I'm sure all Tweets about Chicago sports are well thought out, well reasoned, intelligent, calm thoughts.Good stuff as always.
"Best heads up play by a player" But lets be real. Also can someone find wades post rant about him not caring about sports? It's in this thread somewhere.
Interesting to note that the all time record between the Cubs and Brewers is 167-160. Was very surprised when I learned that is was near .500. Brewers actually held the lead as recently as September 2015.
"Best heads up play by a player"
You mean Chapman? He was trying to throw heat away from himself. Maddon made great moves in both games. Some people got upset he pitched Chapman so much in game 6 but it was an elimination game. You don't pull your best relief for pitching that has been absolutely shaky throughout the playoffs. And game 7? Hendricks was never going to go past 5. He was routinely pulled even when he was doing a solid job during the regular season. Lester and Ross were always going to come into the game. Some bad luck where a 55 foot pitch bounced off a catchers mask made it look like a bad move. And Almora's pinch run? Best play in world series history.
With back to back last inning losses, the Brewers could really use some time to recharge. Maybe they should consider calling today's game due to rain.
Haven't you guys figured out that wades never gives an inch and responds every time? So if you are tired of his responses, don't engage him.
I'm sure the Cubs wouldn't object. No time to make it up, so that's one game closer to the division while also getting an extra day of rest.
Lol. Man this stuff is getting really good. I'm all for people attempting to insult my intelligence. I say stupid stuff all the time, most of the time to get a rise out of people (it evidently works) but sometimes I'm just plain dumb.But wow, if Cubs fans are going to go all in on the "you can't be this stupid you dimwit!" or the "are you really this dumb? I can't even respond to you anymore (only to respond 15 minutes later)" at least don't post "WTF stupid" posts right after each other.You really think if the Cubs Tuesday game at St. Louis got rained out the MLB would just say, "Well, you're each playing 161 games this year!" That is outstanding stuff. (Although, with the way Joe Maddon goes about his business he might just have the Cubs "forget" that they had to make up the game and it might work out for him.)
