NL Central Pissing Match - 2011

[DJO's Pump Fake]

Would you prefer we have threads here on scoop about regular season Hawks games?  We can do that if you'd like.

There really shouldn't be any blackhawks chatter:


Superbar Topics
In general, political threads are banned from this board unless pertinent to Marquette. In the past those topics have dominated the conversation and we'd like this board be home to friendly water-cooler type discussions that relate to Marquette, and the Milwaukee area.

The Blackhawks are the closest hockey team to Milwaukee.

Hey!!!  What about the Admirals???

(Are they even still around?)

I think they just won something or other.

Let's get back to Casey McGehee and the way he sent the Cubs home with a series loss yesterday.

And Prince Fielder, .400 average and 11 RBI already...

Don't forget braun's league leading 4 HRS

We need a board called "All About Chicago"  for the self important among us.

It's too bad...by the time the Brewers play their first series down in Miller Park South in mid-June, the Cubs will probably already be out of the race.

Yuck it up now Brewer Faithful, your last year of competitiveness has arrived.

It's too bad...by the time the Brewers play their first series down in Miller Park South in mid-June, the Cubs will probably already be out of the race.

Maybe the Cubs will need to do a "Take Back Wrigley" promotion in order to get their own fans to attend games. There'd be nothing embarassing about that, right? 

The pissing match should be pretty weak this season since most Cubs fans are well aware that their team stinks, while most Brewers fans want to believe in their team but they're still not completely sold on them. Perhaps they're still stinging from the way the Bucks got their hopes up last season only to crash and burn this season.

Prince is going to look great in Yankee pinstripes next year...and Braun is still going to look like a douche in Yankee pinstripes a couple years after that.

[GGGG]

I think they have a couple.  Yeah, Fielder is gone next year, but we have the new pitchers for a couple of years.

BTW, I don't think Fielder goes to New York.  They have Texiera.  My guess is that the Cubs will strike out on Pujols and sign Fielder instead.

This I don't doubt.

Really?

Doesn't matter what team you follow, Braun is one hell of a player. Other than his affinity for Affliction Tees, there's not much to hate about the guy.

I have Ryan Braun on my fantasy team and I wouldn't trade him straight up for anyone.

I'll never understand how a team who has never won the World Series can make fun of a team who has.  The Cubs won two in their first 40 years of existence.  If anything, you guys are way behind our pace.

I actually like a lot the players on the Brewers but Braun is not one of them. No one is doubting his abilities. I dislike him because he's an arrogant pr1ck.

TT, you know that's putting one helluva spin on it since there are quite a few more teams now (30) compared to the 16 in existence the last time the Cubbies won.

That's just because he went to Miami haha.

I liked Tony Gwynn Jr., and I don't mind Craig Counsell. That's about as far as I can go.

What if he went with this...

I'll never understand how a team who has 1 playoff appearance and 0 division titles in the last 28 years can make fun of a team who has 6 playoff appearances and 5 division titles during that time.

There were 24 when you guys started. 

The first World Series was in 1903.  It took the Cubs 4 years to win in 1907 & 1908. 

Before the World Series, the highest championship was the National League Championship.  The National League was created in 1876 and the Cubs won the title in 1876, 1880, 1881, 1882, 1885, and 1886.

I do enjoy seeing all of the anti-Cubs t-shirts at Miller Park.  I think it's funny you care more about making fun of the other team than supporting your own.
