I really don't know what Milwaukee were thinking. There was more flopping around first base than a soccer game. I find it hard to believe for a team with so much speed and baserunning talent that they couldn't figure it out.

It's also *checks calendar* JUNE, and this is the first team that wants to raise a stink about it?

I don't know what message he was sending other than he's unprofessional and doesn't know how to play first base. Wilson needed to grow up when he was a Cub and he's still a child.

Maybe, but like many kids/clowns he's pretty funny.

He’s more a squeaky wheel. A squeaky wheel gets you he oil. A rusty nail leads to tetanus.

Willy C seems to like to stir it up

WillyC is a stud!

He brings leadership, isn't afraid to show emotion and goes right after an opponent.

Just as I hated his antics when he played for the small bears, I am sure you and all your cubby brethren loved Willson when he helped your team win a WS. Just like you loved Hot Dog Javy and Wife Beater Addy.

Contreras plays with passion, and often inspires his team. Sometimes he goes overboard, but better to do that than be passive and unconcerned.

The scrubbies also had a Manager who liked to chew on toothpicks who had his share of "antics" too.

I'll take WillyC's passion and bravado on the Cardinals any day!

But if often backfires on Willy C., his error today was difference in game and then he got overpowered in a key at bat with a weak K.

I didn't know Javy liked hot hogs. I hope to god he doesn't put ketchup on them.

"Decked?" He stepped into the runner's lane and stuck his enormous dumpster in the way. Contreras was in the wrong, then acted like a clown when he homered.
