    Cub fans were annoying before...can't imagine having to deal with them if they win the series! I'm a Royals fan and I'm sticking to the AL Central! Go Indians!

    Brad if the Brewers could possibly mount a challenge to the Cubs in a game the drunken Cub fans would shut up, nothing worse than a confident visiting fan in your stadium.

    You know how it is. They are just Illinois a$$holes. They drive like a$$holes. They talk like a$$holes. They are a$$holes.


    Kids are everywhere and they just vulgar as can be. If they were decent people it would be different but I will not go to a game when the Brewers play the cubs.

    Been a Cubs fan my whole life (in a White Sox family to boot)....that said going to simply embrace the series between two losing franchises...either way gonna be historic, just hope it is in Cubs favor.

    Now that you mention it last year when I went to the tribe/Cubs game in Cleveland I swore there was more Cubs fans than Indians fans

    I'm a Brewer fan so for that I don't want the Cubs to win.

    Most Bear fans are Cub fans too and I don't want Bear fans to experience sports happiness so for that I don't want the Cubs to win.

    I get cut off in traffic on a daily basis by vehicles with Illinois license plates so for that I don't want the Cubs to win.

    Go Cleveland!

    I have taken Justin to a couple of the Brewers Cubs game and it was a blast even met his mom at the game. Let them come up and spend their money and for years the Cubs sucked as much as the Brewers do so it was a 50/50 split if they were going to loose. I'm happy for them after all these years but I will never want the Bears to win anything.

    If your fans showed up there wouldn't be any room for the 'annoying Cubs fans'...

    Ouch. Not all IL residents and Cubs fans are a$$holes lol I've traveled to 3 different ball parks this year to watch the Cubs and I'm a nice guy while there. I Didn't go to Milwaukee but I like the park. Easy to get out of too after a game.

    Chicago has 80 million more people than Milwaukee. You guys don't even go on vacation in your own state because it sucks so bad. You have to drive up here and drive us crazy.

    As a life-long Cubs fan I think you can guess who I'm pulling for. And as a bonus when they win, Brad will be extra cranky. :lol:

    When I was growing up my old man hated watching baseball - said he'd rather watch paint dry. I can remember watching the 1989 NLCS games in my parents' room on about a 13" TV. Man what a great team they had that year - Grace, Sandberg, Maddux, Jerome Walton won rookie of the year. It killed me when they got their butts handed to them - and I was only 9. The same happened in 2003 when they crumbled in the NLCS. The day after Game 6 is one of two times in my life I ever called in sick to work b/c I was too hungover to go in. The 2nd was when the Bears lost in the Super Bowl to the Colts.

    In a day and age when professional athletes are poor role models, prima donnas and just downright bad people it's refreshing to see a Cubs team so full of young, energetic, good guys. With the exception of Chapman you'll be hard pressed to find a group of better people on a pro sports team. The Cubs organization has put together an exceptional group of not just players but people to coach and run the team. I say they win it in 6.

    I became a Cub fan when I had cable TV for the first time when I went to UMD, I watched WGN and loved the Cubs have been blessed to sit in some awesome seats at Wrigley and I think my favorite Cub has to be the Hawk Andre Dawson. This was back in the spring of 1985.

    I like the bleachers the best. Just a fun time out there. Ive been to some fun games. When 13 I was in the bleachers and snagged Barry bonds home run #753 out of the basket when he was on his run. Then just this year I was at Arrietas no hitter.

    I have a baseball that was thrown to me when les Lancaster came out of the bullpen the day after his first major league start that he won was 1st row behind the Cubs dug out, memorial day weekend against the Astros either 1990 or 91.
