That photo–which is really freaking awesome– was splashed on the front page of today’s Tribune sports. It’s a little clearer there, because it’s blown up more. I probably stared at it for 6 minutes. I looked into the stands to see the unadulterated joy in people’s faces. I then scanned to see if anybody was on their cell phone which–let’s face it– happens at all parks but Wrigley fans get more of the stereotype, and I found one person on the phone.
He’s seated in about third our fourth row in between Ramirez and Floyd. And he looks an awful lot like Ryan Dempster.
you guys are a fucking roller-coaster. love them when they are up, hate them when they are down and try to be sarcastic all the way. do me a favor, let us handle the humor.

I think by humor you mean ridiculous, demeaning commentary on the littlest things that people known as athletes do. Oh, but it’s funny because you guys are related to Gawker or something.
What douchebag who is #5 trolls Desipio but DOESN’T read Hire Jim Essian? That video was up there before it was up on doucehspin.

Who the hell were we trying to kid this weekend?
We enjoyed showing up in Wrigleyville this weekend in brand-new Milwaukee gear with the tags still attached, acting like St. Louis fans. We also enjoyed trash-talking up and down Clark Street like it was October 1st instead of June 30 after Saturday’s game.
Never mind the fact that every Cubs-Brewers game at Miller Park the past five years has been 90 percent Cub fans. We’re loyal, dammit.

The Brewer fans made a nice effort. Even had a little Welcome to Miller Park South on the rooftop next to mine. So wait, you mean instead of paying 20 bucks to watch games in your own cavernous warehouse, you paid upwards of 150$ to sit on a rooftop across the street from our beautiful field? Genius.

Oh, and there’s no way Deadspin has Desipio on their radar. #5 is a goldbricking phony.

“a little Welcome to Miller Park South”…
Saw that sign while walking by the park and laughed. Hey, cheesehead morons, you don’t get to make such boasts for the first time in the *ten years* since you’ve been in the division that you bring more than a few dozen fans down I-94. It’s particularly hilarious when you consider that Brewer fans have never once taken over Wrigley and yet Cub fans take over their park wholesale 7-10 times per season.
Nice try, kiddies.

Face it. Bud Selig got his team moved to the NL Central and it saved the franchise. If the Cubs lemmings don’t flock to Miller Park 7-10 times per year (not to mention the Cardinal Creeps), that franchise is in deep doo-doo. Plus, they had Top 5-10 draft picks for about 10 years straight (too lazy to look it up), so they should be developing some young talent.

Hey #8, don’t compare Brewer’s fans to Cards fans. You know it’s not like that. We still go to ballgames and cheer for our team no matter how shitty our team may happen to be that year. We haven’t heard from the Bandwagon Brewer’s fans in 20+ years and all of sudden they start running off at the mouth like they’ve been running the show each and every year.
And as painful as it is, every team has it’s share of douchebag fans. It’s just a fact of life.

I killed the Jock-to-the-Marlins trade because I felt that it wasn’t fair for the Cubs to eat so much of the money remaining on his contract. No one’s suspicious of that, right???

True……….it’s just that some teams have more than the rest……like the Cardinals & Sox.

Wait a second, I thought we were only Wrigley Field fans and didn’t really care about the team (so Chuck has told us time and time again)… now we’re lemmings when we follow the team on a road trip, too? Sheesh.

I hate to agree with Roy here…but the Brewer fans really do seem to think they’ve been good all these years. They have no idea the kind of pain they’re about to go through when they fold like a (insert similie here).

How Long until Prior North (Sheets) goes back to the DL?
I think the flipflop series for the Cubs and Brewers this week will be very interesting. It’ll be more who can avoid losing than who can pull out some wins.
I’m just hoping for 4-3 or better.
Oh and everybody go vote for Big Z in this “Final Vote” hijinks.

If Sheets gets hurt, Gallardo steps into the rotation. No big loss there.
Hope you guys enjoy looking up all season-the Crew can win this thing going .500 the rest of the way

Ghey.

If fans are allowed to talk about baseball based on the success of their favorite team, Cubs fans should be the least vocal.

Hey BrewFag, if you’re not a Cub fan or at least some-what funny or tendency to be a huge smart ass, Why the hell are you even out here? No one in Milwaukee smart enough to start their own board?
I at least showed enough respect to these guys for standing by their favorite team. You’re just being a tool.
Come back after you’ve moved out of your mom’s basement.

Dude.
What are you talking about? Don’t you know that Cubs fans (like me) blow the whole “lovable losers” thing out of the water as it is? How many division titles did the Brewers win in the last ten years? How many wild card spots? How many All-stars? How many winning seasons?
Let’s just stop and acknowledge the Brewcrew is having a good year and the Cubs are starting to play well. There’s no way the race is over though. It’s July 3rd, not September 3rd.
I’m the type of Brewer Fan greatest in number, and luckily I don’t say a word.

I’m the number of playoff appearances made by the Cubs in the last 10 years. No great shakes but still twice as many trips as the Milwaukass Brewers have made. When was the last time this team was even relevant? 1987?
Brewfan: STFU and enjoy the ride until your team actually does something of note.

But they’re leading the NL Central on July 1st? Doesn’t that count for something? I think they should at least get a cookie for that. And make sure it’s a real Oreo, none of that generic Hydrox shit.

Is it bad that I tried to calculate the exact name of my perfect lover (in the wonderful new ad below) and it came up with Roberto Novoa?
Just wait til we find our cheat codes for the ’07 season and show you that all this sucking we’ve done so far was just a Cubbie Teasing joke.
