Chuck Norris Fears Javy B

As time is short - game 4 is upon us in less than 24 hours - and because both bureaucracy and thorough investigation work only tortuously long, there is only one solution: beanballs for the obvious offenders. The Brewers brought this upon themselves, of that there is no doubt. However, integrity must be defended at all costs and at all times - that is the high price of that kingly virtue, and regarding this: there can be no further discussion. If fisticuffs ensue it would bring no stain upon the Cubs, certainly. Look at the fine reporting - it does still exist! - from our hometown journalists at Marquee presented in the video just above. Indeed, this thread has been proven to be not prescient but necessary. Questions regarding the flagrant basepath behavior of the Brewers must be explained immediately, or else the durability of their protective helmets and elbow guards need to be tested. This is baseball, after all. It is spelled: b-a-s-e-b-a-l-l. Aim for the back, not the head - Chicagoans will never be reduced to the level of Wisconsinites. They say the streets of Chicago are mean - it is clearer than ever that the bleak, wintry pastures of Wisconsin produce even more meanness and desperation. All hail the (truly) noble farmer for this bitter reality - we all certainly urge more profit to them. The control skills of Chicago's pitchers are among the best, so the Brewers need not fear for their - largely empty - noggins. The cheating Brewers have no right to retaliation - beanballs would be the result of the Cubs exercising their legitimate right of retaliation in the first place! The Brewers reaction, assuming they have an ounce of justice in their muscles, is proscribed in the long annals of our nation's game: Simply put your (guilty) head down and take your base. Cease your chicanery. Earn your runs in truly manly fashion - of course our nation's virtuous female softball players would never stoop to such methods. We men can be weak, yes. And yes, we know we concede a wholly unearned 90 foot advantage to you - but we will not concede the integrity of the game. It is with no joy that I write this prescription, but cancer and sickness must be eradicated - this is the game's bitter salve. The old medicine remains the best, of course, as it has been long tested. I don't wish good luck to the Brewers, but rather steadfastness for the coming trials. I do not expect it, however.

I know not who the previous poster refers to.... I do know this for certain: Corruption is not a joke, but a blight on humanity! A mere 2 for 9 with runners in scoring position, the Brewers were in Game 3. The result? A Cubs victory. Who else was victorious? Every single baseball fan not just from Malibu to Maine, nor simply from Seattle to St. Pete's, but also southward all the way to the penguins waving at Argentina's Tierra Del Fuego and then abruptly - but patiently - northwestward to our most amiable of friends in Japan and South Korea (I am unaware if they play baseball in the northern part of the peninsula?). Why this semi-global joy and relief? Because the Brewers were obviously unable to employ their dastardly - yes, I consider the corruption of the game which forms the very soul of our nation's youth to be "dastardly" - cheating. What happened to their smiling ease when at bat? What happened to their yawning mastery of our best starting pitchers? What turned their eager confidence striding to the plate into the very picture of quavering incompetence? The answer is clear: they couldn't illegally steal signs effectively in Wrigley Field. Perhaps the ivy is not merely cosmetically beautiful - perhaps it also provides a lush cover for the humble and the honest? We can add their laughable, ham handed Game 3 attempts with runners in scoring position to the long list of evidence - soberly enumerated in this thread - that they are relying on perfidious methods to achieve success in their home park. Again, I implore the Commissioner's involvement: intervene in this clear case of (sadly typical) Wisconsinite corruption before another "Black Sox Scandal" turns our right-minded citizens away from our most wholesome, most democratic and most healthful of pastimes! Play the game hard. Play the game without mercy, even, as it is a game of men, after all. But do not play the game cheaply - it is held as dear by too many. Milwaukee Brewers you lost, but you will still be investigated and held accountable for your actions! The long list of questions - questions nobody wanted to ever have to ask - only grows....

Voila, Mul21 - I salute your astuteness. A history of cheating + unexplainably and historically good results + dubious behavior on the base paths? If the Brewers are offended by our suspicions - well, they have only themselves to blame: future behavior can be anticipated by past behavior, and their past behavior has been to denigrate the game we necessarily hold to precious standards. As to the poster, Bertz, who posted not just rude but an even vulgar response (and on a website frequented by children!): I would never stoop to your level. In fact, I extend my sympathy to you and all those adults who wrestle with the complications of being born with fetal alcohol syndrome - I assume you are one of those rare Cub fans who hail from a city in Wisconsin? Assuming that is the case, the onus would be on you to prove that you are not from one of our great nation's most alcoholic cities... but you could not, as 10 out of country's 20 most alcoholic cities are from Wisconsin, which is to say that all of Wisconsin's cities are a drain on the spirit and vitality of this country. If you are from a village in Wisconsin - assuming alcoholism is not an assumption but a repeatable fact. I add this message of tolerance and forbearance - things never practiced in Wisconsin! - for your pitiable plight, and that of those children unlucky enough to be born in Wisconsin, so that other pro-Brewers posters may restrain themselves (for once) from messages of benighted intellect on the level of cow manure.

Mr. Ross, I was referring to the poster named Brian707, who - rather than refuting my obvious proofs - rudely questioned my mental stability. I feel confident in assuming that such a poorly-raised person could never succeed in enough in life to own such a fine website. I must add, Mr. Ross, that simply because Shota made a bad pitch - this is not some sort of proof that the batter was not previously tipped off via illegal means? As you surely a regular and current practitioner of our nation's finest sporting art, as I am - although in far from professional circumstances, and with quite humbling results! - hitting a baseball is hard. A pitch down the middle is no certain home run - not in any league where the pitcher and batter are equally matched in talent. Simply watch any batting practice for proof of this fact. As you astutely and comprehensively detailed: Shota's pitch was not terrible, and Vaughn has historically had poor results with such a pitch. Thus, this is - any objective observer would agree - yet another circumstantial evidence which points towards the Brewers longtime practice of cheating. I - and Cubs nation - send thanks! We will get to the bottom of this corrupt practice, assuredly!

I will neither confirm nor deny if I have actual evidence to anyone but the Commissioner himself or - preferably - an assembled Congress. I have listed a litany of the most questionable circumstantial evidences, as well as a video of basepath behavior of the most unexplainable sort and I have called upon the Commissioner to release the second base camera footage of one of the most notoriously shameless teams. I feel I have done a small service for Cubdom, at least on this day, and I hope my example encourages others to come forward, and with a reminder that bravery is not only attributed to the first man over the foxhole but to all soldiers in the fight for justice, honor and the preservation of the integrity our almost-sacred institutions. I do not expect that Wisconsinites will understand those last sentiments, but I do ask them to please stop casting insults towards my person, and also kindly ask the moderator to please punish those who have already committed offenses: This is a forum for discussion - not some fraternity tailgate in Madison at 7:15 am.

I am aware. What I am obviously implying is that Brewers baserunners are being given electronic assistance - most likely only in their home ballpark - which they then relay to the batter via methods such as Durbin's arrogantly obvious gestures. A pitcher and catcher must work assiduously to employ methods to disguise the coming pitch - of course. That is how the game is designed. But the Brewers long history of using extra-diamond means to acquire illegal advantages is why I must insist the 2nd base footage be released! And unredacted, I feel I must add - for the McCarthyite Wisconsinites who may have followed the notoriously bad example of "Tailgunner Joe", and who now hazily discover that - as should have been expected - their mental skills have been reduced after attending so many tailgates.

Longtime reader, first time poster, but am compelled to act due to the lack of attention over the Brewers egregious sign-stealing in the Cubs series. Consider the attached video of Caleb Durbin on 2b from game 2. I can confirm that the pitcher was not looking at him when he flashed this obvious sign regarding the forthcoming pitch to the batter. What happened on the next pitch? Home run, and from the hamstrung Jackson Chourio, no less. Of course, when you know what is coming you don't need as much from your legs.... The idea that Durbin was making a show of reducing his lead off of second is preposterous, as his effort is so half-hearted and the idea of stealing third in that situation such poor strategy. And what happened before Vaughn's home run? Yes, I am referring to that same Vaughan who slugged a mere. .314 with the White Sox this year, but a stellar .493 after being traded to the Brewers. A Cub fan friend I know who attended the game said Contreras - the catcher, certainly no base-stealing threat - did something similarly unusual with his arms just prior to the successfully stolen homer. Frankly, what's easier to believe? That the Brewers have some sort of pixie dust that they sprinkle only at the most opportune times of the game, coming through with the timeliest of hits, and which has been commented upon by veteran analysts in wonder for months? That a lineup filled with rookies and never-weres have collectively found the ability to hit like the steeliest and savviest of veterans? Or that - like in 2019 - the Brewers are once again stealing signs? It certainly would explain this year's power resurgence of Christian Yelich, no? It would certainly explain their history-tying record in the first inning of game 1, where they battered an all-star pitcher like - you guessed it - they knew what was coming. I demand the Commissioner immediately investigate these allegations now! So we can nab them in the act, as we have so obviously nabbed Durbin here, release the 2nd base camera footage! Begin with nothing else but the footage of Contreras before the Andrew "the Brewers cheating turned me into Arky" Vaughan" home run. The commissioner must not wait until such a shamelessly obvious example of cheating gets its inevitable, mocking, game-degrading admission a few years down the line. The Brewers, we all know, are shameless. After all, their mascot is effectively a dealer of a legal drug. Could we imagine the "Miami Coke Dealers"? Of course not. The long winters, the obvious results of generations of inbreeding, the reduced mental capacity evinced by the overweight sufferers of chronic sleep apnea, the fact that Milwaukee is the most racially segregated city in our fine nation - Wisconsinites are shameless, and I simply won't argue facts any further. They were certain sign-stealers in 2019, and now they are obviously stealing again. There's many reasons to be ashamed if you are a Brewers fan. Here is another one. MOV_6475.MP4
