  1. come on, joe was better than ryne.
  2. i agree. obviously he hasn't been perfect, but i'm amazed at the amount of venom spewed at the guy.
  3. greene would have made that play in the 2003 nlcs. GET HIM
  4. 474 with a 258 ESPN.
  5. I spent all of my time in my mom's basement. the occasional joke over being Izturised is one thing, this is beating a dead horse. Edmonds gay jokes have been tossed around more than Paris Hilton and haven't been funny for quite a while now. it's a tired old unoriginal act. and paris hilton jokes are still hilarious and fresh.
  6. i sure hope quentin doesn't end the game.
  7. jd drew is going to demolish this ball for the win.
  8. someone tell this tall goofy bastard to hit a home run
  9. it's gonna be really hilarious when the umps try to give the nl the game, and they still lose.
  10. 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.?) well if a ball is flying towards you, obviously your natural instinct is to catch it. i guess you could duck and cower in fear.
  11. screw you guys. not only do i bring my glove, but i also wear a batting helmet to protect myself. it's not dorky, unless you think aramis ramirez is a dork while he's batting.
