Aerosmith, if you're in here please stop trolling the Brewer board, it's obnoxious and makes for awful karma.

 

I'm guessing by his posts, it is more likely he is from Cubs.com board.

 

Nah, I know he posts here.

 

Trolling is stupid.

 

If one were to enjoy the suffering of opponent's fans, simply watching them suffer would be much more fulfilling. Hypothetically.

Unless it's watching your own fans suffer. I'm looking at you, Desipio.

Cubs had never beaten Maholm, they gave him a hurting (though still technically didn't beat him)

 

Cubs had never done anything with Zach Duke, they knocked him around and out

 

Cubs have never done much of anything against Gorzelany .....

 

 

Time to man up boys.

[Smack]

I love the cobs.

[C.C.]

Zambrano needs to pitch a great game. This is a kinda game in crutch time that Aces step up. Time to Man up!

who broke their leg?

[weis21]

I think that it should benefit that the cubs have seen (and crushed) two lefties this weekend already.

 

Big Z will come through with 7 scoreless and leave to a standing ovation and full confidence going into the rest of the year. Cubs win 4-0.

 

The last time the Brewers won with Capuano pitching, Michael Vick was still free to torture dogs. Brewers lose 7-4.

[anabiono]

i love you cubs

 

please win

 

i love you Z

 

i am wearing your shirt

[C.C.]

I'm off to my Son's baptism. I'll send out a prayer for our team...

[CubmanPi]

Magic number = 6.

 

<3 Cubs <3

[Schwarber Fan]

It's Z's day... I just threw a perfect game with him on MVP at Wrigley... against the Pirates :shock:

 

Ramirez went deep twice while Floyd homered as well

 

Oh, and I'm wearing my Zambrano jersey shirt.
