I think a more accurate school would be Wisconsin

I disagree I think our biggest actual rivals now is Wisconsin. DePaul has been irrelevant for years. We don't ever play Louisville or Notre dame anymore.

The whole Wisconsin residents only thing was stupid as hell. At best it made them look petty as crap. At best, they learned how many more Cub fans reside in southern Wisconsin compared to Brewers.

As I heard in MKE today from friends at breakfast:  "The Brewers are becoming more Bucks-like, it seems". This move and a few others like Sausage-gate have alienated local fans. MP was a ghost-town last night.  I have been at maybe 95% of Cubs-Brewers games over the past 15-20 years, and have never seen it so empty.  Like northern Illinois where there a ton of Packers fans, SE Wisconsin has a lot of Cubs fans. Not really smart business.

Winning will cure ills, but the games are close to sell outs Saturday and Sunday so I guess we found a way to buy tickets from Brewers fans.  Watch out for all us roided up Cubs fans spending cash in MKE on O-Cedars.

This was a dumb thing to do.

But Sausage-gate?  How should that alienate anyone?

I think it was the way Sausage-Gate went down. Clement's was kept in the dark, and then wasn't allowed to match Johnsonville as the deal was already closed.

If sausage choice causes someone to not root for a team, were they really even a fan to begin with?

I guess.  It was in the local media for quite some time. Tradition?  Maybe the locals can chime in...

I'm a local and haven't heard it brought up in months. I don't think anyone cares to be honest. Now if they switched to Bud, that would cause an uproar.

It must be like a little brother syndrome. A lot of brewer fans want to make some huge show with cub fans. I guess they just feel lost because no one actually considers them true rivals.

Like last night they had an interview with brewer players where they explained how electric it felt at Miller when the cubs came to town.

Then you got fans and Wisconsin media pushing this "i94" rivalry. I would say it's worse then the DePaul fans thinking marquette is actually rivals.

Like sorry to break the news wades but we got the cards. That's an actual rivalry.

Ahh, Cubs fans pretending like they're too big for...well, anyone.  Now that is funny stuff.

I love people who say stuff like that.  "Like sorry to break the news wades but we got the cards.  That's an actual rivalry."  You sound like a 6th grade girl.  So congrats on the rivalry?

Anybody insecure enough that they need to tell people they aren't good enough to be their rival probably shouldn't be talking about a little brother syndrome...

Does the netting extend beyond the dugouts now? I'll be sitting in that area tomorrow. Just curious.




It's through the dugouts, not sure if it's further down the line.

All of section 113 has nets.

You really need some new material.  It would also help if it was funny.  I'm rooting for you!

You're right.  The material is old and no longer very funny.  The fact that you continue to react is what is incredibly funny.

Not much of a rivalry either, Cards been kicking Cub ass for a hundred years.

Take it easy on the Cubs fans.
Most of them survived a few decades when the only thing they could crow about was their attendance.

Hall of Famer NSSA, ASA, NAB and Ford C. Frick award by MLB Hall of Fame.  Nothing overrated at all. 

What does pay by play mean?   Too many angry people out there.

You know whats truly awful? A movie about the Brewers where their ultimate goal is to come in 3rd place.... in the NL central. Like the entire basis of the movie revolves around them getting the magical achievement of grabbing 3rd place. And they couldn't even be bothered to pronounce Waukesha correctly.
