7/10 Other Games

So apparently Corey Hart had his (looked like) three year old daughter on his lap in the post game interview. His Brewer teammates all of a sudden burst into the interview room and spray beer all over him and his daughter cause he won the NL final vote.

Yeah it was pretty cool. Hart laughed about it. You would wish his daughter (who is a cutie pie unlike her dad) was not part of it but no harm done.

Take it from Cubs fans (those who have been fans for more than five minutes), cautious optimism > arrogance. There's nothing quite like the taste of your foot.

 

yeah at least a couple of cub fans in this thread haven't learned the lesson about cautious optimism. last time i checked we don't have the greatest track record, so people probably shouldn't be crowing like we have the division locked up. milwaukee is a very good team, and their chances of advancing in the playoffs probably aren't much worse than ours.

If my daughter was doused with beer, I wouldn't be happy.

Whenever someone sees my Cubs gear and asks me if this is the year, I say "Maybe, but like most Cubs fans I'm hoping for the best, but just waiting for the wheels to fall off. That's what we do." If the Cubs are 10 games up with 10 to go, I'm still not feeling safe.

 

To be honest though, I can take flack from Cards fans better than Crew fans. My initial reaction to Milwaukee fans giving me crap about the Cubs is a "who the hell are you to say anything?" sort of deal. I mean the team is irrelevant for 25 years, and they get a bit of talent and all of a sudden a lot of their fans think they're the '27 Yankees. I just think it's been so long since they were any good that much of the fan base has gotten a bit carried away. Believing the hype, so to speak.

 

But I am not about to dismiss their chances. While a lot of people have been crowing about St. Louis, my concern has been with Milwaukee the entire year. They've got a great squad, and are fully capable of catching the Cubs should they falter much at all.

 

But at the same time, they have their issues. I think most would agree that the Cubs have a more complete team. The next 3 months should be interesting.

I am sorry if you think i was trolling, which i wan't. No i am not happy with how we played there 4 games vs colroado. I do believe overall the cubs are the better team and i am very worried that brewers won't make the playoffs. You are right that the brewers have been terrible since 1992, i am happy for how far they have come in the last 5 years, from a payroll of $27 million to our current payroll of $90 million, just 5 years ago the only sellouts we could get was when you cubs fans came to miller park and now we are going to draw 3 million fans this season.

I'd be shocked if the Brewers don't claim the WC spot.

We will make the playoffs barring a bunch of injuries(not even including Harden in the "bunch") Milwaukee will make it as long as Sheets stays healthy. If he gets hurt I'd still say they're better than 50/50. There's just not a lot of good teams in the NL.

 

Our(and Milwaukee's) track records have nothing to do with anything.
