The biggest margin of victory came from the one I made, just throwing that out there...

The Cubs fans are definitely talking World Series after tonights game. I have honestly never been around so many idiots in my entire life. I didn't think it was possible for people like that to breed. Anyway, they'll come back to reality when the Great Zambino is knocked around.
Sheets: 7 IP, 9 K's, 1 BB, 1 Run

This will be an interesting game to see if Sheets has a letdown or not.

I was a last nights game and didn't witness any Cubs fans being overly out of line. I am sure we will give it right back to them after today anyway. If we win the series, it doesn't matter which two we win anyway.
I hope our hitters can show a little plate discipline, try to get ahead in the count and force them to make good pitches. Hope Sheets stays sharp and the Brewers fans get a chance to stick it to the Scrubs fans.

Bush would have actually had the day off this week, but I think the Brewers wanted to get Bush in there.

Cubs fans that I see when I go to Miller Park are very friendly. That go, sit, and cheer for the team and don't talk any smack.
I was at a Brewers/Astros game and the Houston fans were very rude.

Most of them are, but the first year I went to a Cubs-Brewers games the entire section I was in was full of obnoxious, rude Cubs fans. After that, just going to these games irritate me now
