  1. wow, the Stadium is emptying. Great fans
  2. that throw defied physics. it was 5 feet over his head out of his hand
  3. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
  4. I'm pretty sure that FOX told Buck and McCarver to just spooge all over Yankee Stadium all night. I don't think he believes half the stuff coming out of his mouth
  5. wow, this thread has been reduced to banking jokes
  6. you just gave me a horrible flashback to the poster (named AlfonsoSoriano) who used to make posts like that all the time
  7. Ok, so say it does end in a tie, what determines HFA in the WS? Best record or interleague W/L? whatever is the most ridiculous solution will be the one Selig chooses
  8. Dempster pitching on 2 days rest? DELICIOUS
  9. The National League sure is bad at this
  10. that show was weird. I could never figure out where they held it. Some stadium with 15 foot ivy covered walls and houses behind them I'm pretty sure those were all filmed at Wrigley Field....but the one in Los Angeles. It was. meaning what, a studio lot?

  12. to protect your kids? no, I usually don't take the kids. a 5 and 2 year old tend to get bored after about 1/2 an inning so why do you bring it? i'm not making fun of you (in this thread, at least), i just don't understand the psyche of a gloved baseball fan. I used to have season tickets for the local Short-A minor league team. My seats were 3 rows behind the 3rd base dugout, so a lot of foul balls (both liners and pop ups) headed our way. Again, I hardly bring one anymore, I just don't understand why someone shouldn't. The only reason I've heard is "it's not impressive to catch a ball with a glove" and "because it's dumb" i guess my reason would be because it's not a very...i don't know, "grown up" thing to do? i mean, if you want you can put a quarter in those rides outside of the grocery store and ride them when you're 33 years old you can, and i guess my reasoning for why you shouldn't would be something along the lines of "because it's dumb." so if you're looking for something beyond that, i don't know what to tell you. it just seems like an odd thing for a grown up to do simply because i find it strange that a grown up would care about getting a foul ball. I don't really care, which is why I don't bring it much anymore. that said, the people who are catching the foul ball with their bare hands are still catching a foul ball, so how are they any better (per your P.O.V.?) i mean, a ball is flying toward you...what are you supposed to do? i don't think those people are going to the game thinking "oh boy, i'm going to catch a foul ball" like people who bring their glove apparently are. it's not even really comparable. I'm not talking about those people, i'm talking about the ones who are climbing over other people to catch a foul pop-up with their bare hands

  14. as long as it's better than the NFL Network. that channel hasn't impressed me much
  15. I think this season will be the end of it. 2 years ago the story was "he's back playing baseball", last year was "he made it to the big leagues", and now he's having an MVP type season in 2008. there isn't much else to write about
  16. just so we're clear, the "ballplayers are wussies for wearing a glove" comment should've been in green font
