Oso planning to go pro
Now this I absolutely have an issue with.
Marlins v Brewers series moved to Milwaukee this weekend!
If I were the Cubs, Cardinals, or Rockies, I'd be irate. As a Brewers fan, I expected a neutral site somewhere if it wasn't going to be Miami.
I feel like Wades would have typed about 7 pages worth of crap had this happened to the Cubs. Oh well, it's not that huge of a deal. Miller doesn't get attendance anyways.
I love it. Cubs fans getting all squirmy because they can't decide the Brewers schedule for them.The 2008 series between the Astros and Cubs at Miller Park was totally 24,000 neutral Milwaukeeans just trying to see some baseball.The Yankees and Rays playing a series at Citi Field this year was definitely all Mets fans filling the stands just enjoying some ball between 2 teams they don't cheer for.And comparing a manager just deciding he wanted to change the schedule to benefit his team is definitely comparable to a team whose city was hit by a hurricane...What's funny is I wasn't even the one who brought up the schedule change. All the Cubbie fans got upset that the Brewers actually expected to follow their schedule.
I may be wrong on this but didn't the Astros ( a few years back) play a "home series" against the Cubs in Miller Park, where it was crawling with cub fans? This is a little different, but not much. Also recently I heard an interview with the owner of the Rays, and ge talked about how truly difficult it is to put on a game on short notice at a ln alternate location.
Really? Remove your head from your ass and look at it from an unbiased perspective. You are correct, because of Hurricane Ike. Zambrano threw a no-hitter. While it wasn't necessarily neutral it was certainly different than playing the games at Wrigley. If I recall correctly, Houston was very upset about it and that was understandable. The White Sox are out of town this weekend. Schedule it there and let's see how many Brewers fans make the trip.
I'd love to hear an explanation of why a neutral location was not feasible. This is some Grade-A bullsh*t.
TAMUI do know, Newsie is right on you knowing ball.
Says the guy who said the Brewers would be out of the playoff race by the ASG, and then refused to bet on it.Lastly, Crew in top 10 of MLB attendance this year genius.
For the record, it was a helluva break for the Crew. I did see a quote that Maddon said 'Something had to be done and he had no issue with it.' Seems as if logistics played a huge issue, just getting stadium workers, etc. Read that the Crew is only being allowed to open the lower deck on Friday.
Brewers .548 winning percentage at home, .500 on the roadMarlins .438 winning percentage on the road, .507 at home
Well, Giancarlo should get pass 62 with the extra games at Miller Park.
I'd assume MLB wasn't willing to risk a rain out at this point in the season which ruled out many potential host sites. Could have moved to to Arizona, although that is far for both teams.
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny. Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
Have you watched the dude's yackers? Those things aren't wall scrapers.
Hmm. That would probably deserve an asterisk.
Don't forget that some of this might have to do with the home team hitting last ... which I assume the Marlins will get to do in these games, yes?
