Stop the madness - enough baseball

[yvr girl]

You throw the ball.
You catch the ball.
You hit the ball.

And then someone keeps stats on all of the above.

[HEyHEY]

1. Beautiful in it's simplicity isn't it?

:-)

Much like hockey: You shoot the puck, you pass the puck, you make a save, and if you don't - someone beats the shit outta the guy that shot the puck.

[yvr girl]

6. Nothing like a good hockey fight

I'm just so tired of all the baseball threads.

[MissMillie]

30. Only college hockey this year

and thus, probably not a lot of fighting.... my kind of hockey. I enjoy the skate, hit and pass game.

2. why say enough baseball?

it's the post season and the games are great. So why should we not discuss baseball now? I could understand if it was January but it is October for crying out loud.

[FightinNewDem]

4. poor kid

The moral forces of life are just lost on her.

[yvr girl]

7. I like baseball in person

but I don't watch it on TV. I like baseball movies - does that count?

[dennis4868]

8. the yanks/red sox.....

series is like a movie...all the ups and downs these past 6 game has been high drama....must see TV!

[Lorien]

3. I'm starting to think that we need a separate

sports forum. It is getting a bit crowded in the lounge these days.

[BeyondGeography]

5. Baseball been very, very good to me

You're right. But I'm glad there are so many baseball fans at DU. It's the American pastime; shows what great patriots we are.

9. We need baseball or hockey or basketball or football as DIVERSIONS!

My family is very involved emotionally and cerebrally in the state of politics in my country, your country and the world....But we also can have fun with our favourite sports teams!....I think that's important in order that you keep your balance....This is just my opinion...:)

[HEyHEY]

10. Buncha leaf fans I bet too

;-)

[glarius]

14. You got that right Vancouver (Canucks!)....hahaha

:)

[HEyHEY]

15. Did you see my thread about the 76 Canada cup?

They showed a game from it on TSN today. It was cool to see Orr, Lafluer, Sittler play.

[glarius]

17. My son came over and was watching it.....amazed at the difference

in the equipment of the players...Everyone looked much smaller without all the huge shoulder pads etc..

[yvr girl]

18. I did

I caught a bit of the game.

[HEyHEY]

20. I was shocked it was on CTV not CBC

[FightinNewDem]

16. Diversions, my hairy Irish ass!

I haven't gotten a damn thing done at work for week now, because THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT, DAMN IT!!!

[glarius]

19. Good for you....you're a well balanced person!!!!!

You should see what happens in this country when the Stanley Cup playoffs are on!....

[pres2032]

11. it's much better if your own team is involved.

If my Marlins were in it, i'd be estatic right now and greatly sleep deprived. Though this yankees-red sox series is something to behold. Doesn't get much better, unless of course the Marlins are involved! ;-)

[leftofthedial]

12. you forgot the part about lollygagging

and how the ball is round and the bat is round and you try to hit it square

baseball is the greatest sport, bar none.

[yvr girl]

13. No, that would be hockey

If Vancouver had a team, I would be more into it.

[leftofthedial]

21. Ah, but Vancouver has charms beyond mere sport

Plus, you have the Vancouver Canadians, Oakland's class A farm team. Minor league baseball is a blast!

[yvr girl]

26. I was just about to reply to this but then the explosion happened

see 911 / burned grilled cheese thread

I love going to see the Canadians. Nat Bailey is the prettiest little ballpark in the world - so they say. It's live though - completely different experience.

[Robeson]

23. No...

....that would be Professional Football.

[leftofthedial]

24. you mean the no fun league?

yeah, I love watching a bunch of pituitary cases strap on armor and pound each other for 5 and a half minutes during a 2-hour period.

big fun that.

[Robeson]

25. As about as much fun as going to sleep at a baseball game....

....you do know, that this arguement could get very circular, don't you? :shrug:

[leftofthedial]

28. politics, religion and sport!

it's all good


except for the bushgang and their repuke, neocon and fundie enablers.

[camero]

22. Okay

Now stop talking about Larry Walker. :7

[WilliamPitt]

27. Go. Fuck. Thyself.

[SiobhanClancy]

31. I.Second.That........n/t

[kick-ass-bob]

29. Hide the threads.

Simple.

I feel a copycat coming on...
