I work in an office next to

a brewers fan, and we both are in Oklahoma (but originally from Chi,.and WI) He’s giving me smack about the series before Monday’s game, and I let him. I did warn him that he was going to jinx his team if he kept up with the smack talking.

It's absolutely hysterical

Gagne had four pitches to plunk Edmonds and he couldn’t. How bad IS the Brewer pen?

The Cubs need to do what they’ve done all year. Shake it off, ignore it, point to the scoreboard and move on.

Champions don’t scrap with losers. Nor do they add any fuel to whatever fire might spark an upstart.

they got a real nice player for a while in exchange for a malcontent. Will it affect their chances this year? sure – losing one of the best hitters in a generation is bad for this year, but they spun a cancer for a very, very nice player to insure future competitiveness. Theo is darn impressive.
