Baseball Pissing Match

[Moonboots]

Ari, just enjoy the Brewers 5th place finsih this season.  Good luck winning without any pitching.  Sure will be embarassing for you and your crew this year when the Reds finish ahead of you

5th place finish?  Can we get some sort of bet going with the over/under on the Brewers finishing in 5th place?

I'd love to get a couple (hundred) dollars down on that.

Meanwhile...

* There also is a new pennant up in the left-field area marking the team's 2008 Wild Card playoff entry.

I didn't know Tom Crean was in the Brewers' front office...

5th place, my ass

HAHAHAHA I am surprised that there isn't a second pennant going up stating that they won 1 game against the Phillies!!!

What a joke!

Marquette09?

5th for the Brewers and Zambrano wins the Cy Young...may I have a pound of whatever drugs you are consuming?

And you laughed at me because I was going bet on Sergio winning at Augusta (I want a free taylormade burner http://www.businesswire.com/portal/site/google/?ndmViewId=news_view&newsId=20090320005293&newsLang=en) but man... you crazy

Well... there certainly won't be one in Wrigley celebrating the Cubs win against LA.

Too bad Brewer fans can't make up rock songs about a .265 hitter who routinely spins himself into the ground on strikeouts.

Looking forward to more racist Fukodome shirts and drunk fat chicks falling into the baskets.

So will 2009 be a year where Cubs fans blame farm animals or dudes in green turtle necks for their collapse??

That video was made in April 2008... when Koskue was arguably the hottest hitter in baseball

As for the fat drunk chicks... I think these pictures speak for themselves. Maybe drunk... but most certinaly not fat

Yeah I've never seen a Cubs fan who does not look at least that good...

Fair enough, but I also don't believe that the cubs have flown a banner for the wild card they won in 2003, but I could be mistaken...

They won the division in 03 Rob.  They won the Wild Card in 1998 and there is a pennant on the roof for it. 

There are pennants for all the playoff teams (thus 1998), Sosa's 66, Wood's 20, Dawson's MVP Year, Maddux's 300th, Jackie Robinson's Number 32, and last season there was an NIU flag.

Ah yes, now I remember the double header against the pirates to clinch the division!

Did you see Tiger today...he is officially back.  Sergio, aka Mr. I can't make a putt in a major, has no chance.  The odds of Sergio winning at Augusta are the same as the Brewers winning the division this year.....slim to nil

Sergio can not beat that man

Spartan-

there is a lil nip showing on that first girl    because in reality no cub fan is that hot soI am gonna need some proof that those girls actually exist, or did you just do a google image search and photoshop it? because I can do that too:

[spartan3186]

While I did do a google image search to find those, I did not photoshop them. I do not have photoshop on my computer, nor access to photoshop.

Many of the images are here

The sports illustrated one was, I believe, Ryan Dempsters wife

[Ari Gold]

yeah I'll concede that finding pictures of attractive female brewer fans via the google is rather tough, while finding hot cubbie girls is much easier. though I dunno if the Cubbie fans are as big picture whores as they are....

I'll have to keep my eye out for cute brewer girls this year I'm sure there are more than what google offers...hopefully

There is plenty of eye candy at Miller Park on a summer Friday night; may not be as prevalent as the Cubbies girls, but at least they are watching the game.

Are the Brewers bringing back the Miller Light Dancers or whatever they were called?  Nothing says minor league baseball like a dance team.

The Brewers are one mascot slide short of a minor league...wait...nevermind.

[Moonboots]

I'm fine with dancers and slides over the circus act that will be Pinella, Zambrano, and Bradley in the same clubhouse for an entire baseball season.  Over/under on first punch thrown at May 15.

Yes, because those sorts of things are certainly unique to Milwaukee where MLB is concerned. 

You do realize you sound like the Badger fans who try to make fun of the Xylophone in MU's band, right? Because that stuff matters.

HAHAHA CIRCUS!

What about the brewers circus?  I heard the highlights of 2009 include:

1) Braun trying to catch a flyball
2) Bill Hall playing 3rd
3) Rickie Weeks
4) The brewers second attempt at getting a big name closer (because the first one worked out so well)
5) Prince Fielder in an eating contest

In baseball, it does matter.

Remember when the Brewers were all excited to lose CC and Sheets so they could build a nucleus around the four first round draft picks that they would receive in return?

Then, the Yankees signed CC and Teixeria giving the Brewers a mere sandwich pick.

Then, Ben Sheets was going to sign with the Rangers, but failed the physical.

Then, the Brewers had to pay for the surgery to Sheets?

Then, the Brewers ended up with only ONE first-round draft pick which will fall in the 30's somewhere?

That sucks.

Come again...What on earth does any of that have to do with the Miller Lite girls or Bernie Brewer?

1) http://www.baseball-reference.com/b/braunry02.shtml <--- 1.000 Fielding Pct.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/s/soriaal01.shtml <--- .975 Fielding Pct.  Note: They didn't include his 1.000 gay post putout hop percentage.  Very consistent in that regard.

2) http://www.baseball-reference.com/h/hallbi03.shtml <--- .940 Career 3B Fielding Pct.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/r/ramirar01.shtml <--- .949 Career 3B Fielding Pct. (Note: For a FULL TIME 3B).  Something to be proud of.

3) Okay?  Overrated, overhyped, and pretty much garbage?  Fine.  Kosuke Fukudome.  I win. 

4) Trevor Hoffman - 554 career saves. 2.78 career ERA
Kevin Gregg - 62 career saves. 4.00 career ERA.
Laugh it up.
Win a playoff game.

It'll be REAL funny for Cubs fans when the vegetarian sensation is competing for the NL home run title...

Never once did I mention Soriano as a God in LF... The reason braun didn't get any errors is because he completely misplayed balls that went over his head.

He didn't get an error because he wasn't even able to touch the ball!  I want you to tell me that Braun is a great LF defensively.

[TallTitan34]

Is Ryan Braun an amazing hitter?  No doubt, he's a stud.

But anyone who brings up Braun's 1.000 fielding percentage is just ignorant.  When you fall down, let the ball land over your head, or just can't get to balls you are not charged an error. 

If you want to brag about Braun's offense go ahead.  But to bring up Braun's defense is a pure joke.
