It's impossible to watch a ball game and not favor one club

[Oeditpus Rex]

The Truth just came out when St. Louis tied it and I thought, "Shit." I realized I'm pulling for Detroit, and it's because I learned yesterday that Jeff Suppan is an asspipe.

1. I could do it.

I don't watch or like any sport. I could draw straws and be content with whoever I picked. :P

[Reverend_Smitty]

2. very true

I told myself I wouldn't care about this series but yet I'm rooting for Detroit too and now I have yet another reason to dislike Jeff Suppan

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. They're the little baseball team that could this year.

I want them to win for my daughter.

4. Ah, you picked someone.

w00t!

:bounce:

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. Well...

Suppan sorta picked for me. :shrug:

[Mutley]

7. Either way

you can enjoy the Series more now that you've a side. :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Yup

Even though the cheapest seats are on the fence, it ain't much fun sittin' there.

[Mutley]

14. I knew you'd pick a side

How could you not? ;)

6. Stem cells trump pine tar!

Go Tigers! :thumbsup:

[ScreamingMeemie]

8. I love you, love you, love you...

:hug:

10. It's easy being fickle

When my team was eliminated in the NLDS. :D

[madinmaryland]

25. Hey, your actually lucky!

My team was eliminated in April!

[Oeditpus Rex]

9. The pine tar didn't bother me

I think it's stupid that the spitter (generic term) is illegal.

[Zomby Woof]

11. I think we should bring back the pre-'68 mounds

How's that for old-school creds? :D

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. The 10-inchers?

Or the 15-inchers? :shrug:

[Zomby Woof]

15. 10

If we get rid of the DH. 15 if we don't. :silly:

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. Ah, see

I liked the higher mound because I like close, low-scoring games; I like Little Ball.

Gibson's 1.12 ERA in '68 is the stat that most makes me go . That's a lot more undogly to me than 73 stupid homers.

[Zomby Woof]

18. Then we're on the same page

We both want pitching to reclaim its lost glory. Today it's all fastballs punctuated by the odd curveball or breaking ball. There is no art or finesse...

</crochety old fogey

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. You just made me realize

when I see a curve ball that drops off the table, it's like "Wow!" But, christ, guys like Koufax used to throw 20 or 30 of those every game.

One time Sal Maglie had a really good game and a writer asked him what he threw. "Ninety-seven snappers," he said.

Yeah. :thumbsup:



Dammit. How many hits does Eckstein have in this game? Twenty-three?

21. Detroit

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Not the detroit I live in.

:hi:

[petronius]

22. Yep - I find that when I have no attachment to the teams, I tend to pull for

whichever team is losing when I turn on the game...
