Title: It's baseball season...
Post by: Drugmoth on April 24, 2009, 07:37:11 PM
Who wants the Red Sox to whoop some ass this year?  Anyone?  Aussies need not make any dumb comments about how they know nothing about baseball.

Is it just the British then that don't know baseball from their assholes?

No, they understand it... just don't give a fuck about such a stupid game.

I went to a MLB game one time.

I was so bored I wanted to pluck my eyes out.

You people bitch about cricket being slow...

I had more fun watching snails race than I did watching that game...

I've never complained about cricket being slow because I've never watched it played and I don't know how one plays it.  But I don't like it just because cricket is probably the gayest name for a sport ever.

the value from cricket - in my opinion - is that there are so many rules and - really - so many different kinds of games being played all at the same time.

That's probably the gayest thing you could've said there unless you went all out with it.

Um, hello? Brit here who probably knows more about baseball than a lot of the yanks here.

Cricket can be absolutely brutal. 20/20 is way better than test cricket. Although I guess we'll be seeing less of that around here without Uncle Allen to sponsor it.

Anyway...

Who wants the Red Sox to whoop some ass this year?

Me!

'Sox up 9-8 on the evil empire right now.

O shit, I forgot about Allen.

and with 20/20. Werid, I feel ripped off. All those one day matches I watched for scores of 250 are now being done in 20 overs, yeah I know about cricket, so I do see the HUGE whole in the logic. But still...

I hate baseball.  For some reason the one radio station I can stand thinks everyone wants to listen to the Braves game.

When'd we get one of those?

I remember WSC in the 70's and 80's, particularly some of those West Indian bowlers like Holding and Garner. Those guys were frightening.
I've been watching the IPL, I guess this is Kerry Packer's vision taken to its logical conclusion.

One of many secret forums we don't reveal to you peasants

<thread> I had a great game of baseball today, stopped all kinds of crazy shit aft first base and hit a double between center and RF.

O shit, I forgot about Allen.

Yeah, and the whole thing seems a little fishy to me. Why haven't they charged him yet?

In a cricket-related note, I bought a case of beer from Andy Roberts yesterday.

And to stay vaguely on-topic, man, what a fucking awesome game that Sox/Yanks scorefest turned out to be!

fuckin' A. i was at a bbq in providence with some serious sox fans, on a seriously drop dead gorgeous day, drinking beer and listening to the game on WEEI, sitting or standing around a grill, and later on, a firepit. what a fantastic day, topped off with that incredible sox win. life is so fucking sweet sometimes.

Man, that's cool. He was awesome when he played here... the four of them, Holding, Garner, Roberts and Croft.
