I thought I would share with everyone my column that will run on Sportsbubbler.com.  I thought I would share with you some of the smack talk the Cubs' fans have been saying about the upcoming four game series...

Four games with possible October implications.  Miller Park will have more buzz than Opening Day and CC Sabathia’s debut.  Unfortunately, my brethren from the South will infiltrate and infect Miller ballpark with its disease of drunkenness, bragging, and howling for no good reason except that they sipped a beer.  Yep, there is nothing like that Cubbie fans that drinks a Miller Lite and screams “Go Cubs” every five feet.

[Author’s note-Yes, I grew up Illinois, but I was raised a White Sox fan and have worked six years for the Brewers where I have seen enough games to have the Crew grow on me and find a place in my heart].

Here is a sample of some of the Cubs smack talk that has filled up my email bin or text message box.  Hopefully, this gives you more reasons to hope and pray the Brewers put the Cubs in their place.

It was finally nice to see the Brewers make a few moves to try to compete again in the N.L. Central, but it’s hard to imagine CC Sabathia be the answer to a Cubs offense that has taken the leagues best pictures and turn them into batting practice.  Here's to another lost cause Milwaukee! Go CUBS!-Joe, Chicago, IL.

The Sabathia trade is one of the most desperate moves ever by a small market team.  The Brewers are already counting draft picks from losing Sheets and CC and forming a post-Fielder plan after ’09.  The Cubs are on the way up while Milwaukee freaks out as their championship window quickly closes.-Adam “Rock” Staradoub, Chicago, IL.

Maybe the Brewers would have a chance to clinch the division if they still had Robin Yount or if they signed Chuck Norris, haha.-Clay Guida, UFC Fighter.

Congrats coming from five games back but the three horse will become a two horse race and eventually the Cubs will end up being the best horse as always.  Injury prone Ben Sheets will break down and throw off the Crew’s rotation.  The Cubs just got done with its worst ten game stint.  They will get hot and it will be all over-Joe Schneider, my brother-in-law.

Last year it took the Brewers half a season to give up first.  This year it took less than 24 hours.  Milwaukee is a northern suburb of Chicago.  Hey Prince, I didn’t think you were supposed to gain weight as a vegetarian.  By the way Prince, I belong to PETA.  People Eating Tasty Animals-Dustin, an Illinois transplant living in Green Bay.

1) The Cubs may be the lovable losers, but the Brewers are just losers
2) The Brewers are playing completely over their heads, they may have two decent starting pitchers in Sheets and Sabathia but Zambrano, Dempster or Hardin would still be an upgrade for the Brewers.
3) The Cubs are batting .277 vs the Brewer's .255 with a 110 vs 30 runs differential and that's because they manufacture runs, which is how you truly win games. The Brewers are completely devoted to the long ball which in the end will not get it done in the NL Central-Karl Hesemann, aka Crazy Karl, aka Special K.

You know what is going to be great.  Watching the Cubs take four games at Wrigley North.  The Brewers can make all the trades in the world but it won’t matter this is our year.  Fukadome will lead us to the promise land and Sabathia is going to look good in a Brewers uniform next season-Tommy V, Johnsburg, IL.

I don’t smack talk the Brewers.  I talk up the Cubs.  The Cubs have a lot of great talent this year.  They just have to stay consistent and injury free-Kimmi Jensen, McHenry, IL.  

Welcome to Wrigley North, I got nothing else-Mark Jacobs, Woodstock, IL.

As long as we're using your ballpark as our home stadium, entertain us by bringing back the beer mug under your mascot's slide. It's the least you can do after we visit your state and show you all how to drive-Kyle Schmitt, Washington, D.C.

Pretty much every word mentioned is something any Brewers’ fan would disagree with.  Although, Kyle does have a point.  The beer mug needs to come back.
