holy [expletive], how good was koji uehara this year? 101 strikeouts and ONLY NINE FRIGGING WALKS in 74 1/3. For those counting at home that's a 0.565 WHIP. 12.2 k/9 and oh yeah, a 11.22 k/BB.
Man the ball makes a nice sound coming off his bat. Even better is the sound the crowd makes as they slowly realize just how far those homers are going
maybe most of that stuff gets lost in the wind to me since im around it more. I'm just saying, I dont think ive ever had an interaction, online or IRL, with a "casual" hockey fan. It's always dudes trying to impress you with how hardcore they are.
that's my point. there are a few around here, but they typically end up being the same type of people who are "really into" the EPL. The sport itself is cool and the athletes are cool and from what exposure they get it seems like they have far more personality than athletes in the big 4 sports. But NHL fans are seemingly *BLANKET STATEMENT* really into letting people know what serious sports fans they are. it rubs me the wrong way.
hockey is cool but its fans suck. its just like college football in that regard, except there's college football everywhere so you're kind of always around it a little bit.
