so that makes him gay?

 

i don't read George Will, its your fault for paying attention to that fluffery. why do you?

 

baseball does have its problems, but the game is still there, there are still good players, and when you compare it to pro football or pro basketball, the players are saints. sure, they're over paid saints. so go watch the minor leagues if you want to see lesser paid players.

You're cracking me up again. :lmao:

 

I guess you can always argue what is the lesser of the evils - the endless drug scandals of baseball including the recent record holders - or the wife beaters of the NFL. Whatever. Neither one is getting my vote. But man, baseball is just boring as get out.

baseball was fun to play as a kid. I find it boring to watch.

 

but it's better than watching tennis... or golf

 

True that. I think baseball's motto should be "It could be worse"

You think baseball is dumb, you should go check out a Sonics game. You can get tix for free or close thereabouts. Owners probably want to fill at least some of the seats so they're giving 'em away to charities (tax break too!).

 

Anyway, the Sonics game is like carnival. These five minute timeouts every 20 minutes or so, so the break dancers or sonics gals can come out and entertain or the mascots can throw a bunch of free t-shirts around. Hilarious. Oh wait, and they have a little bit of basketball in between.

 

Mariner game, now there's a good time, if you're currently satisfied enough with your life to not sweat wasting 3-4 hours you'll never get back sitting around and handing out money to people. A night on the town. Being a good American and such.

 

Listening to baseball games on the radio, there's the ticket. If you actually have any care for who wins or loses it can give you some emotional lift and drop. Best part is you can do something else while the game drones away. Sweet music on a summer night, like cicadas or something.

So true. It's the only thing that makes the end of ski season bearable.

Jr.'s got the prettiest swing in baseball. I love watching him bat. No juice. All natural talent. It would be nice to see him with his old team before he retires. Bring Lou back too.

I'm certainly happy to hear that. Should make for a fun summer. I am interested in how exactly they're gonna get by the Angels.

 

But what of the Fall? How they gonna do in the playoffs?

Honestly crickets a better game.

 

If you are going to sit around in warm weather getting shitfaced why not make it a whole day instead of only a couple of hours?

 

If you're going to sit around in warm weather watching something so crushingly boring that you want to cut your own head off with the dull side of a plastic butter knife, why make it a whole day instead of a couple of hours?
