One thing I noticed last night was in the ninth inning while the Cubs were batting, they were all up, yelling and trying to pick each other up. In the bottom of the tenth, the Brewers all looked deflated.

Blowing two games in a row late like they did could be a backbreaker. But they're still only a game behind Colorado, who are doing everything in their power to gift wrap the second Wild Card spot for the Brewers.

I'm a petty dick that likes to stalk other fanbases blogs and game threads to drink in their misery and what I have gathered is that to Pirates/Brewers fans these days we are no different than the Cardinals. They hate the Cubs with every fiber of their being ("luckiest team ever" "I fucking hate Baez more than Yadi these days" "god they're so obnoxious and annoying with their stupid celebrations"). It's glorious.

Having been to several games in Miller Park, I can attest that the Brewers and their fans are easily hateable.

Yeah I don't get this narrative some Cubs fans on twitter have of "well gorsh I sure want the Cubs to win the division but I wish them well in the wildcard race!" These people are just off-day Packers fans, people. They suck.

Let's not forget the 11 "home games" the Sox played in County Stadium in 1969, as Selig tried stealing them before he swiped the Pilots.

This should be in the "I admit it..." thread, but until 1998, I was a reasonably big Brewers fan. When I was a kid, our antenna on top of our house in Libertyville would pick up Milwaukee stations, including Channel 18, which had exciting AMERICAN LEAGUE baseball action in the early '80s. So, I'd watch the Cubs during the day and put on the Brewers at night.

This continued when we got cable as they included Channel 18 among the basic cable channels. So all of a sudden I had access not only to the Cubs, but the Brewers and the hated Mets and the dull Barves. The Brewers were exciting when they won 13 in a row in 1987 and Molitor had his 39-game hitting streak. I went to a ton of games at County Stadium; I saw Nolan Ryan win #300 there, I liked the early 90s Brewers teams, particularly the 1992 team with Cal Eldred and Yount and Molitor and GREG VAUGHN. I was in high school then, and a trip up to Milwaukee, a $4 bleacher ticket, $6 parking split 4 ways, and cheap ballpark food made for a cheap date.

One summer during college I was in the bleachers for a Sox-Brewers game. I think it was 1995 (could have been 1994), and the place was packed with Sox fans. I embedded myself with the natives, and stuck out a long rain delay that occurred largely before beer sales were cut off. By 1 am as the Brewers completed a comeback, one of my new fast friends told me "It's a good thing all those assholes from Illinois have left."

They were my girlfriend. The Cubs were my wife. When Bud Selig moved the Brewers into the NL, it was like your girlfriend moving in next door to you and your wife, and your girlfriend picking fights with her. The dalliance had to end. So, it did, with the exception of the last weekend of 2003 and then the 2011 National League Championship Series. I attended Game 6 at Miller Park and after exposure to Cardinals fans seated nearby, it was impossible to stay neutral.

But screw them all up there.

If we're confessing, for a brief time in the early 90s my American League team was the White Sox because my cousin was on the roster. Otherwise the only AL team I have consistently rooted for my entire life is the Mariners, due to the combination of TEH COOLEST PLAYERS EVAR for anyone who was under the age of 10 in the 90s (Griffey, Randy Johnson) followed by Ichiro, King Felix et al. I also pulled for the plucky Royals. I think Orioles hats are cool.

Non-Cubs teams I liked a lot:

2014-15 Royals
2004 Red Sox
2002 Angels
Zito/Mulder/Hudson Era A's
Lou Piniella Era Mariners
90s Indians.

The 90s/2000s had several teams that should absolutely have won rings (A's/Mariners/Indians) and got cockblocked by that god awful Yankee dynasty.
