8/4 Astros(Moehler) @ Cubs(Demp) - 6:05 WCIU/ESPN

[UMFan83]

For a rain delay read, check out what Brewers fans are saying about this board:

 

http://brewersfandemonium.yuku.com/topic/12495/t/Cubs-fans-message-board.html

 

Some of the quotes:

 

All the same, whenever you're tempted to go over there and have a chuckle, keep in mind that strangers come here to laugh, too--you can bet they were here last night.

 

The lack of moderators at NSBB (or so it would seem) can be annoying. There are also more personal attacks on opposing players over there. I'd bet that there's at least 50 people per IGT calling Prince a "fat ass" every game they play the Brewers. But other than the quoting 138 people and signatures of pics that are larger than my monitor, there are some good posters there.

I'd argue they're more "the sky is falling" than BF though. The reason is because it's pretty representative of their entire fanbase. There are some great knowledgable baseball fans, but there's also the morons who are probably the ones in a drunken stupor in the bleachers who throw crap on the field.

 

It's the same concept [as BF.net], except this board has rules and moderators so it doesn't get nearly as bad.

 

My favorite place to go whenever I want to feel good about the state of the Brewers and myself in general. There are quite a few good posters over there but a lot of really negative people as well. The sky is always falling over there.

Just saw the Prince-Parra scuffle.

 

Looks like the Brewers players were about to use the horse tranquilizer on Prince.

 

Where is it being shown? The Youtube generation is slacking

I love Thom's reaction. "Oh look at this!"

 

Ha. Did you notice the "Things are coming apart for the Milwaukee Brewers, and it started with the four game sweet by the Mets, in Milwaukee."

 

As if Jeff Brantley needs more reason to be considered an idiot.

[Mizzou]

On ESPN, they said that an hour or so ago swirling winds were spotted in and around Wrigley Field, the lower concourse was temporarily evacuated, and ESPN's crew had to shut down their production and evacuate their trailer and announcing booth. That said, they still haven't called the game.

Oddly enough, their evacuation route took them directly to Packers training camp.

Nice.

I was going to say the same thing. It was Chris Welsh.

[OleMissCub]

Awesome, ESPN's own Joe Morgan is left off the greatest Reds list.

[SouthSideRyan]
