Article: "I hate the Brewers" = Flame On!

[TooLiveBrew]

I know this is shallow, but I can't take that guy seriously after seeing his face.

That comment alone is deeper than any of the drivel this moron spilled out of his keyboard

[brewerjamie15]

I see he has his email link there at the bottom of the page. Intersting.

[splitterpfj]

If he wrote this just to mess with his buddy, ok, but if he intended this to be a serious discussion of the Cubs, Brewers, or Milwaukee, this is a shallow, inaccurate waste of space.

 

Bill Hall was not a horrible defensive shortstop, and is obviously an upgrade at 3B, yes, the Brewers will actually play someone in CF while Cameron is out, and you're right, Hardy, Weeks, Fielder and Braun stand no chance of ever improving on defense, they're clearly on the way down at this age. The Cubs do not have one of the deepest rotations in baseball, they merely have a lot of pitchers....there's a difference.

 

I'll bet this guy lives with his mom.

[trwi7]

He called Rob Bowen Mark Bowen. Do you really need anymore evidence that this guy is an idiotic tool?

[BrewCrewForever]

I can only think of a few words to describe this Cubs fan: Jag and Tool.

I recommend not even clicking on the link in case they glean some kind of revenue from click throughs or something like that. If you don't like Milwaukee, and if you're trying to be funny that's fine....but if you don't like Milwaukee and aren't trying to be funny then try to at least get the facts right.

this is an obvious attempt to get more traffic to a weak and under-utilized website.

[pitchleague]

couldn't we all pitch in and write up a similar story about Chicago and Wrigley Field.

 

"just the other day, I had to walk from the Sear's Tower to Wrigley because there were no buses going out that way."

[brewjihad]

I sent him an email as well. Hopefully, he gets swamped and realizes he shouldn't try to pull stuff like that again.

[1992casey]

Nah. He'll do it again. First on the agenda will be to publish the best of the e-mails in another blog entry. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/wink.gif

[TuesdaysWithRillo]

I emailed him and told him to try out a career at McDonalds.

[BuckyTuba]

I sent him an email along the lines of "get out of your mother's basement and buy a car"

[trwi7]

I'm disappointed none of you said I just printed 500 copies. Now I won't have to go buy any toilet paper for a while and it's all thanks to you.

[ELCABALLO45]

I wrote him and said.... who in the heck is Mark Bowen?

[BrewCrewForever]

"get out of your mother's basement and buy a car"

 

Well done, perfect comment for that guy.

[ITz DJ TJ]

Please keep this article at had for an end of the season lambasting

[brewfanks]

I actually thought it was pretty funny... My favorite line was "Heck, Fielder covers a lot of ground just by standing there." I actually laughed out loud, does that make me a bad fan? Probably.... Too me the article was written just to be funny. I bet we could put together something similar about why we hate the Cubs and all of us (well most of us) would get a good kick out of that too.

[SeriesFinale]

Having been a proud cheesehead living in Chicago for several years, I was always a little sensitive to Wisconsin-bashing there (although in reality there was very little of it and when I heard it, it mostly came from overweight guys with bad goatees who lived out in some crummy suburb)...but this guy was just not good at it. I didn't wince once.

 

And as far as his actual analysis of the team goes? Forget about it.

 

(I did like the Fielder line, too, though)

[jhart05]

Well good for you to whomever this jag is that wrote this "article". I hate Chicago just as much so we're even.

 

You know what then, stay out of our state completely. We don't want you here clogging up our highways, and buying up all our northwoods land.

 

Stay in your crappy flat state, we'll say in ours, and everyone will be happy.

[bluemoundlotallstar]

Great argument on ticket prices too. Purhaps he should try something other than ebay or stubhub.

[brewjihad]

I sent him an email, and he sent one back- it included a line saying that he was sorry if his story offended anyone, but he stood by his opinions. I guess I give him a little credit for responding, but still. That 'article' was just a pathetic attempt to generate publicity.

[BrewCrewRising]

What goes around comes around I guess. This guy probably realizes that there are a lot of people who hate Cubs fans. Sometimes the hater is even the

He must not have noticed that big thing across from the stadium called a parking lot where fans can do this thing called tailgating. Wrigley has no parking lot for fear that people would drive into the stadium and knock it down, honking their horns the whole time.

[cubfan1126]

Actually tailgating does take place at Wrigley. It's just not in the cars in cookie cutter parking lot. It takes place in the many bars of varying atmosphere that surround the ball park.Take the time to enjoy the experience if you come.

And BTW, I'm not so sure the writer of the article is a Cubs fan.He's just some guy with an ax to grind.

I happen to like Milwaukee. I like your stadium but I'd really like to be there when the roof is open for the whole game.

I'm not complaining about the atmosphere around Wrigley - I happen to love it - but it most certainly is not tailgating.
