The Keg

I don't know if it is a good thing to have 400 people chanting the same thing at you, or not. But, when what they are chanting rhymes with bass-bowl, it probably isn't a good thing. This is what the entire Bucket Head Brigade was chanting at one Cubs fan as he was being ejected from the stadium last night.

It is no secret that Brewers fans and Cubs fans don't like each other, but after last night, I saw first hand that Brewers fans actually HATE Cubs fans, it was quite a sight to see.

As for the game itself, the Cubs looked horrible and the Brewers had clutch hits which won them the game. No one on the Cubs looks fired up or enthused to be playing baseball, and it is starting to get tiresome. Zambrano pitched well for 5 innings, allowed 3 runs, and the team went into shock. The most fired up anyone got during the game was after the play which led to the ejection of Corey Patterson. Absolutely a wrong call, he beat out the play by at least a step. I thought there were actually 4 bad calls during the game, three against the Cubs, and one against the Brewers, all of them involved someone being called out, when they looked safe.

The Brewers got clutch hitting from Bill Hall and then Lyle Overbay in the game to seal the vicotry. As scary as Derrick Turnbow looks on television, he looks that much more scary in person. His fastball and control are unbelievable, by the way, Dan who? Also, Geoff Jenkins made one of the best plays I have ever seen in right field, one batter after Corey Patterson was ejected from the game, and since he was called out, Bill Hall's play on Patterson's groundball would have been the defensive play of the game, save for Jenkins going horizontal.

Again, all in all it was a good trip. I am a Cubs fan, but if they have to lose any games all season, I don't mind if it is to the Brewers, they just looked so pitiful last night that it is hard to admit to cheering for them.
