In the same poll 62% percent don't think the Cubs will either.

 

So at least 24% think the Cards will?

[CubmanPi]

More obnoxious than the wave. It'll be really hard trying to tolerate/enjoy it this weekend, but I'll give it a shot.

[Soul]

Lose Crew! LOSE LOSE!!

 

Pressure. Can not deal with.......PRESSURE!!!!

[rickrolled]

Tim Hudson laughs in the general direction of Milwaukee

[inari]

If the Brewers lose, our chances of losing the division become quite small.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Normally, I hate the chop as well. But I'll be chopping all weekend.

[DiamondMind]

Get it done Atlanta

[weis21]

after visiting atlanta for a cubs/braves game earlier in the year, I too will find it very hard to root for them (I heard the year 1908 in some form or another 78 times from bystanders). That said, I'm putting on my headdress.

That's weird. After living in GA for 5.5 years and attending more games at Turner than I have at any other stadium, there was exactly one game where the fans were obnoxious, and it was just a couple of teenagers. I didn't know any of the people that attended games there cared enough about baseball to even know the significance of 1908 in the first place.

 

I was also there for a Braves-Mets game in 03 (Cubs beat Dontrelle in Florida that day, 16-2) when the whole stadium emptied out in the 7th inning with the Braves down by four, so when they scored 6 in the 8th to win it, it was a relatively quiet experience. I really didn't think the people who went to that park gave a crap about baseball.

Well, the main game was the one in which Sori got beaned after hitting three homers the previous night. I had a few things that I needed to say after that. Plus the fact Lilly got tossed and then Renteria's cheapshot on Fontenot. Tensions were definately raised and I wasn't backing down to a bunch of obnoxious jerks behind me. Plus the fact that I had many $6.25 Budweisers in me.

 

Couple that with a bunch of snide comments after Dempster lost the game and I left Atlanta with a bad taste in my mouth.

 

I guess I had a unique experience though.

[weis21]

But to be fair, I met a really nice old braves fan who got me and my friend into the 755 club the night before to watch the game. That was super cool since my seats sucked pretty bad. Plus, it's the only place I'll probably ever be that has little individual TV's above each urinal.

[E.J.]

It's pretty interesting that Weeks isn't playing tonight. He's been one of their hottest hitters since being recalled. You'd figure you'd want your best lineup out there in a game that has huge importance for the Brewers.

I guess I had a unique experience though.

My last trip to Atl was in 2005 for all four games of the 4th of July series, which were games 5 thru 8 of a 5-game losing streak. Cubs led one inning all weekend, Francouer's MLB debut was highlighted with a HR, and all the fans felt sorry enough for us to leave us alone, even though Cubs blue outnumbered them.

 

For tonight's lineups - Counsell batting leadoff?!? Have the Brewers always had this problem? I really don't get why so many people keep saying how that team as a whole is more talented than ours.

 

Braves will help us out tonight.

[A New Era]

Oh it's on ESPN? AWESOME I was bored tonite anyways. Have fun everyone I'll be upstairs!
