Baseball Pissing Match

[MUAlum99]

Valentine
Brenley
Leyland

I hope you realize that I was just coming up with examples of guys off the top of my head - I'm not pushing strongly for any of them.  That being said, contracts aren't worth the paper they're printed on nowadays, so I wouldn't take Brenley out of the equation just because he has a 6 year deal.

I think the longest i saw was sosa's.  It went over waveland and about 5 or 6 car lengths down some side street i can't remember.  There was gold spray paint marking the spot it was crazy to stand on it and see how far from wrigley it was.

Kenmore was the street. That was also a huge jack. I have looked for the spot, but never located it. I think it's generally parked over.

[MarquetteFan94]

that spot is still marked by a circled x on Kenmore....

What a huge win today....4 runs in the bottom of the 9th to tie it....including Sotos's 3-run bomb...unreal! 

I love watching Ryan Braun play LF against the Cubs.  Great base running by the Brewers also.

Magic Number = 2.

yah watching Ryan Braun play LF is almost as good as watching Alfonsio Soriano play LF...

Ryan Braun at one time did lead the NL in outfield assists.

Such a pitiful game today.  Stick a fork in the Brewers, they're done.

I don't get what you guys are talking about, ryan braun doesn't have 1 error this year!!!!!!!   HAHAHAHAHA

Its a shame when you don't touch a ball its not an error, cause braun would have many!

again... Soriano is just as laughable. 

I understand, Braun isn't the best fielder in the world.  But it isn't like the Cubs are starting 3 gold gloves in the outfield.  Well Edmunds, but he is aging.

Although todays game makes me sick.

[TallTitan34]

As bad as Soriano is in left I would take his defense over Braun anyday.  At least when Soriano misses he knocks the ball down.  Braun just misses completly as seen in his 0 errors.

Fukudome is a quality defensive outfielder.  Jim Edmonds while not the Edmonds of old can still go get them.  Reed Johnson has shown great defense all year as well.

SPORTSCENTER TOP 10
2) Soto's HR ties it
1) Lee's single wins it

[MarquetteFan94]

Soriano has one of the most accurate OF arms in baseball.  Watching Braun in LF against the Cubs...yesterday and in the sweep in Milwaukee...has been fun.

Let's clinch the Central today!

Pitiful game yesterday.  Honestly, I can't believe Sveum didn't have someone up in the pen with 2 runners on and Soto at the plate.  How hard is it to see that your closer just doesn't have it that day?  The first two outs were rockets!

Sigh...3 series left.  Let's at least show some pride on the field and make the Mets work for the Wild Card.

As for the Cubs - a sweep of the Mets would be REALLY, REALLY nice...

The Mets series is being used to rest starters.

which will most likely give the mets the wildcard and knock the Crew right out of it.

Excellent

how does this effect who we are playing in the first round?  If the wc comes from a different division than we play them right?

Correct Rawdogger. Mets or Phils look to be our match up.

[TallTitan34]

I'd prefer to play the Mets as the Wild Card team instead of the Phillies as the Wild Card team.  So hopefully we can still take a few from the Mets even while resting our starters.

[🏀]

Cubs clinch. Brewers fall 2 1/2 back.

Dreaming of a Mets matchup.

I don't know about the rest of the Brewer fans here, but I'm all out of urine.

Go (insert team here)! Beat the Cubs!

I've written off the Brewers for the year. On to football. With that, I take my leave from this thread. It's been fun.

[reinko]

I'm bringing this back.  Screw the Chubbies, screw Pinella, screw everything south of Kenosha.

Let's do this Brewers!

Wow. Way to really diss Pleasant Prarie.

[RawdogDX]

And we cubs fans welcome back the biggest front running fans in baseball: The supporters of the milwaukee brewers.

[reinko]

It's tough being front running fans, when we only do well every 12-15 years

This coming from a guy who said he was "having a hard time caring about the bears season" 3 games in.

[TallTitan34]

Brewer fans crack me up.  After beating the Cubs tonight all we heard is how much the Cubs suck and chants of scoreboard. 

I don't know what makes it funnier.  That 1) the Cubs have clinched a playoff spot 2) the Cubs have clinched home field advantage until the World Series 3) the Cubs are 6-1 at Miller Park now or 4) the Brewers haven't clinched a playoff spot yet.

The usual response was laughter or pointing to the Divison Champion shirt.

[wadesworld]

Just out of curiosity, would Cubs fans prefer to have their everyday players and risk the small possibility of an injury that would take them out of the playoffs or would they rather have the starters rest and avoid the risk of injury?
