beg to differ. maybe north of fox valley, but not south eastern Wisconsin.

just wondering, how old were you in '82?

IMO, you are basing your opinion on your age and demographic (you're from GB)

ok. that is fine. As I said, there will not be a way to prove my point since they will not fall apart. So it ends up only being a few key strokes on a web page.

Of course you beg to differ because you don't know any better, that's okay. I've spent a lot of time in Milwaukee, Port Washington, Well Allis,... I know what I'm talking about, you don't. Wanna take this up in a boxing match? I'll wear Packers gloves and you Brewers. We'll see who still standing afterwards bubba!!!

Anyhooters, there's never been any national media that said the Brewers fans were the best in sports like you hear about the Packers fans all of the time. Check out the attendance records for Packers games and Brewers games. Yeah, exactly, know the truth and accept it.

binge and purge

Milwaukee, Pittsburgh, Cincinatti, and Cleveland are all spectacular baseball cities; but the fans have to wait so long for a winning team. If only the greed of the major markets could be curbed - then an even playing field could be set up like in football.

I agree that it is this year for the Brewers, cause they'll lose Prince next year; and their current payroll is probably not sustainable.

Apples and Oranges while talking attendance.. one sport has 8 home games.. the other.. 81..

Flip it to argue.. 3 million fans the past couple years attending Brewer games to less than 600,000. [grin1]

Different sports and impossible to claim either superior within the state.. but that won't stop people from trying.. lol.

Bottom line.. Baseball is a superior sport to football on the radio.. and probably have less fans dropping everything to watch a game where they can listen vs a Packers game where people schedule their lives around the games to watch them..

Something about baseball on the radio that translates so well.. not as much in football.

so you really are clueless b/c you never experienced when the brewers went to the world series!

---

Incorrect if this is directed at me.. caught almost every game of the playoff's.. including the series.. mostly on the radio.

Six people.. one TV.. I didn't get to watch them all.. but I could control my radio. [grin1]

---

I hate Willie McGee to this day. Rollie Fingers going down hurt, because in '82 the Brewers were the best team in baseball.

---

it was not directed at you, but riddle me this...

what team was more popular from 1979-1982...

the brewers or packers??

point i want to make is many ppl, especially in their 20's, have not experienced brewer fever yet.

they have experienced the packers and a long winning streak, but not the brewers on a run.

so they base their opinion on what they have experienced.

another person, may have experienced both. the '82 brewers, '96 packers, 2010 packers.

i think there are a ton of baseball fans n this state that have not had a lot to cheer about for some time...

if given the opportunity to have something to be excited about over an extended period of time, i think many on this forum would be surprised at the frenzy that would occur. and yes, IMO, it would take over packer pride.
