I guess it just pisses me off because -- and I'll try to say this without sounding too arrogant, even though it's going to come off that way -- I know more about the Brewers than a lot of Brewer fans themselves. For example, if you brought up the names Yovani Gallardo and Ryan Braun early in the season, I don't know how many Brewer fans would know those two names.
This isn't really all that suprising. The Brewers have sucked for so long, and Wisconsin has never really been big on baseball. Between the Packers and UW, football is the state religion. Our "great" commissioner really destroyed any fanbase there was under his ownership, and the building of Miller Park was very much opposed and left a bitter taste in the mouth of many. The State Senator who cast the deciding vote for the Miller Park, George Petak, was recalled and lost the recall election. (The first elected official that has ever happened to in the history of the state. People were pissed!)
I was born and raised in South Eastern Wisconsin, btw. Go Brewers!
