Kolek planning to go pro
I don't consider 10 years ago and a different scouting department to be relevant to now.Just look at the ratings of minor league systems by Baseball America for the last several years.
Well.........Cubs have hotter girls at the games.That's all I got.
I used to feel bad for Cubs fans. Bartman changed that.
Won't argue that. Although I will say there are better looking girls at Brewers games than there are on Marquette's campus.
What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
When I was 11 years old at the dump they call a field is when I soured on the cubs.
No, why would you ask? Their minor league prospects are rated near the bottom and have been for several years. You haven't seen many top 100 prospects over the last few years.
I guess, growing up as a Cubs fan in Milwaukee and now living in Chicago, I've never understood where the haughtiness or arrogance of Brewers fans towards the Cubs comes from. Has this been an abysmal few years? Sure. But in the last 10 years, the Cubs still have more division titles and the same number of playoff berths and NLCS appearances as the Brewers. I used to go to Brewers/Cubs games at Miller Park and have fun. Now my car gets spit on in the parking lot cause I have Illinois plates. We should be united in hate for the Cardinals.
This I agree with. Im a White Sox fan but from what I remember the Cubs and Brewers were never rivals until like 5 years ago. My mom, who is a die hard Cubs fan, has no ill-feelings towards the Brewers and was actually up in MKE the other week to see the Brewers and Pirates.
For you White Sox and Brewer fans, wasn't there a decent rivalry there back in the day? What do you any of you remember of that?
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Bitter arguments, often ending in fistfights, over which was truly more distasteful... the Cubs or their fans.Brewer fans simply don't care for Cubs fans. We don't care about the actual Cubs team.Sox fans hate the Cubs. They can tolerate Cubs fans, probably because they have a common interest in the Bears and Hawks. Or maybe it's because their pensions aren't funded... who knows.
One Cubs fan parodied an FBI "Ten most wanted" poster on the net with Mr Bartman's picture on it. "Considered ignorant and extremely stupid," the poster reads. "Wanted for "interfering with crucial play... breaking the heart of an entire city."The Chicago Sun-Times ran a picture of his intervention under the headline "Curses".The Governor of Illinois, Rod Blagojevich, joined in the jibing with an offer to get Mr Bartman a spot in a witness protection programme.One city alderman, Tom Allen, suggested he "move to Alaska".

I went to 1 Cubs-Brewers game at Miller Park probably 5-6 years ago and swore I would never go to another one. I agree with Benny B's comments that it isn't the Cubs team but there are enough bullsh!t Cubs fans at Miller Park that the game experience is not enjoyable.The row behind us had a group of 8-10 20-something drunk and obnoxious Cubs fans. From yelling Ben Shi!ts at the pitcher all day etc. it was embarrassing for the families of Cubs fans nearby who would their hands up whenever one turned around to look at the drunks after the latest thing they yelled about. From that day forward I will only watch Cubs-Brewers on TV and go to the park when any other team is in town.
70 or more years of suffering for this kid.
I made the same decision years ago as well, but it is far from limited tithe Cubs clad crowd. There are plenty of Brewer 'fans' who go out to Miller Park when the Cubs are in town to act like idiots simply because its the Cubs...seemingly trying to prove something. What, I don't know exactly. I think it has gotten better in recent years, but several years ago, those games we just toxic. The whole Wrigley North thing, etc. regardless of the side they took, wa too many people heading the ball park, intent on making it about them.
