But to be sure, most of us do not agree with or like that line of thinking and Al corrected him for it (and rightfully so). His comments about Pete are completely out of line, and like another poster said, Pete stays over here so let it go. Some of us at Bleed Cubbie Blue really just want to have some good discussion and avoid the back and forth jabs though, I promise.

Like every thread there, its a lot of bickering and nonsense. I forget whether it was the same genius who thought you were using terrorist terminology and did a quick field evaluation and deemed me retarded. I wonder how many decades its been since the term retarded was used in a clinical setting.

The Cub fans who come up to Miller to get drunk and yell at Brewers fans are the real life versions of the trolls that came over here after last nights game.

That reminds me when I was at the Packers Christmas Game. Ended up sitting next to a bunch of Bears fans. They were actually cool, discussed football. We didn’t’ rip on each other except friendly casual ripping. Was very enjoyable actually. But a section over, good god. Your average drunken entitled dbag.

Anyways, you are right. The asshat numbers are up simply because of sheer volume. Add into that, the “Wrigley North” fade, and you see why asshats travel up here. Because they think it’s fun to mock other teams fan base. And they’ve been so effective with it, that a good number of Brewers fans won’t go because they want an enjoyable night. Then our drunken dbags show up in force to “stand up” against the invading hordes of Cub dbag fans and bam… fist fights and beer tossing.

I’m just surprised there isn’t as big of a back lash against the shitty fans. No matter which side. As I stated in a thread yesterday, I was embarrassed by a few fans down in St Louis (Especially the one sweeping the dug out… dude don’t be a dick) and I hope other Brewer fans felt the same.

Fine, you come in mass. (Thanks for giving us your money!) But at least have SOME respect for your hosts. I just more of their own fans would police their own. I saw a few of it, but it was only because Cops were starting to lurk.

I haven’t been to a Cubs – Brewers game at Miller Park this year but I have done so in the past and I’ve usually managed to run into a few people who I’m embarrassed to be associated with. When I was in St. Louis earlier in the season for a Cubs – Cardinals game I saw quite a few of those people.

I’ve had fun following the Cubs on the road, but I keep it simple. I grab a hot dog. a beer, and a scorecard and I sit back and watch the game. If the Cubs do something good I cheer. If they aren’t I’m quiet. If someone around me asks a legit question I talk to them. Otherwise I just stay to myself.

Unfortunately, a lot of traveling fans (regardless of team allegiance) don’t adhere to that rule and that’s what causes problems.

BTW: I’ve had some really good conversations with Brewers fans up at Miller Park. I was there last Saturday and had a really good time and and I am looking forward to going back up there September 28th for the regular season finale.

That was a nice gesture, too.

CC on Rome:

—"Electric" crowd, he pulled up to Miller and the parking lot was already packed with tailgaters

—Said he didn’t have his best stuff last night, went 2 strikes to a lot of guys, but couldn’t close it

—Rome asked about high pitch counts, CC said during the course of a season sometimes you just can’t get em

—Asked about staying in Milwaukee, CC focused on this year and helping the team winning

—CC says he "LOVES IT" when it comes to batting

—Rome asked bout Braun and how he admires his own work a bit too much…CC doesn’t think he admires his homers too much, "it’s just apart of the game…when you’re hitting them as far as he’s been hitting ‘em, you can admire em".

—Rome asks bout bullpen, CC says he doesn’t try to pitch CGs because of the bullpen, but because his pitch count isn’t high enough to come out; doesn’t think there is a problem with the Brewer bullpen: "It looks solid."

I like CC, he’s a good ballplayer, well-versed, and seems like a nice guy.

Dan

So he decided to show them up by pulling the ball?
