sleeping:

Whatever......We'll see when someone speaks up. rolleyes:

I know waht the fuck he's talking about, and so does Zap.



Zzzing!

I know what hes talking about too, but my problem isnt with playing baseball, or even watching it. my issue is with Major League Baseball. I thought someone told me that they have struck or had lockouts 10 times in the last 20 years. Thats just plain offensive to me.

They have good taste.

No it's because Toronto has all their players.

They choose a good place, it's better than losing in calgary or edmonton.

see tripper? i do know what im talking about, lay down your arms , your in over your head here. calmdown:

What cause the pro boreball..sorry baseball camp thinks all this behind the scenes shit counts. If thats the case check out some of the soccer behind the scenes stuff, its only WORLDWIDE news as opposed to 1 country. oOo:

That fag beckham anyone? His splitup with ferguson was reported globally.

VA-VOOMA!

Gerard hit the nail on the head.

Do you think what ever your little group of baseballers say (Who will OBVIOUSLY say anything to prove a point), will count?

Jeezus.......Bottom line - Nobody that matters (i.e, the general public) fucking sees this 'underlying' baseball shite.

What you see is what you get. Like any sport.

The other hundreds of more interesting sports don't rely on this 'underlying' aspect, to come off as interesting......Seems funny that baseball is the only one.

[quote:e6057]If it was sooo "easy" then explain why soccer games rarely go into double figured scores.
[/quote:e6057]

maybe because a touch down is 6 points, a basket is like 2 or 3. and soccer is one point. so a foot ball game of 28 points is only 4 scores. plus the 4 extra points. so that would be 4 goals. its just scored different. and lets put the football players vs occer players in a fight. soccer fags would get the shit kicked out of there pussy asses.

Oh yeah i forgot, cause not all soccer players are inbred 250lb hicks oOo: . Sorry to inform ya but to play soccer its far more physically demanding basically running for 45 minutes with a 10 minute break then running about for another 45 minutes.

Funny how soccer is the only sport that does that for me.

I've never even heard of Beckham until that movie with his name in it came out.

Funny how u just said the behind the scenes shit in baseball makes it interesting a few posts back. annoy:

[quote:2f85d]exactly my point, you dont understand the underlying game(s). so much going on behind the scenes in baseball , so many situations to think about...the average baseball hater doesnt see any of this[/quote:2f85d]



eek:

I didn't even post that, you tard.

rofllmao. happy:

you think im talking about gossip? fuck no. im talking about the mind games. since ive been called out to explain these underlying game within games and scenarios. ill give you few.

ppl who hate baseball or think its boring: they see a pitcher pitch the ball, and the batter tries to hit it.

in reality, every pitch is a mind game. the pitcher is trying to trick the hitter into thinking whats coming next. if the pitcher has the count, 0-1, 1-2, the pitcher will pitch away, in the dirt, up high....or he could go right down the middle. the batter has to constantly think what the pitcher might do. if there is someone on base, he could bunt, hit and run, try to go the other way, hit a fly ball to advance the runner...

misconceptions: baseball non-understanders biggrin: > get really mad and frustrated when the pitcher keeps throwing over to first to keep the runner close. there are many underlying reasons for this. most of them arent to keep the runner from stealing. it could be done to frustrate the hitter, who becomes impatient after 4 throws to first, consequently striking out in frustration. it can be done to slow the pace of the game, if the opposing team has a rally going, alot of the time the pitcher will throw over to first to try and ice the batters.

many non fans do not know about "signs" . baseball signing is an artform, there are hundreds of variations of signage. there are also professional "sign stealers". this is mostly kept quiet, its usually a bench coach who is a 30 to 40 yr veteran and his specialty is to crack or steal the other teams signs. if your team has a good one of these stealers, you can figure out when their runners will steal, so you can put on a pitch out....etc. very interesting, very few know about them.

baseball players are fat, lazy, and unatheletic. < biggest misconception ever. just because there are a few overwieght pitchers (mostly american league) somehow this has become a running joke. look at any team, most of the players were multi sport atheletes in college and are in incredible shape.

there is countless areas i can delve into about the intricacies of the game, i have barely tipped the iceberg on them here. i just wanted to answer your "until someone else speaks up" challenge. well, here you go, plenty to read. like i said earlier, since you hate my beloved game you will just continue to reply with snide, unfactual remarks. this is something you dont know about tripper. i certainly dont argue with you about the hiphop culture, because i dont know much about it. i know alot about baseball, feel free flame away. i just did this to prove there is much more to this game than is on the surface. freak:

JBird, you won't win. They can't comprehend the complexness of baseball, and they never will. Just leave them wallowing in their own insolence. It's actually quite funny.

yep. thats the last im gonna say about it. like i said before i wanted to avoid typing all of that because it would just be a waste. but he challenged me repeatedly so i responded. im done with it though, they love to argue just for the sake of arguing.

oOo:


Ya whatever u say, annoy:

it is physicalling demanding to play Rubgy, a much much much better sport than soccer.

Does it really matter who wins. People like different sports. If
everyone liked the same sport there would be only one sport.
It's really just that simple so everyone can get off their tampax
and stfu k thanks ed:

baseball is an extremely difficult sport, believe it or not

You see what I mean? It's funny to see them try and come back and insult something they know nothing about, so they degrade to saying stuff like ''whatever u say'' happy:

baseball = combination of cricket and rounders, no more no less. All this psychology bullshit you lot are talking about signstealers and stuff....only in america says it all imo. oOo:

Hey you, yeah you, want 3000$ a week to interpret some guy waving his hands about? Sure ....

"hey he's yet to get a sign right after 3 months, hmm better double his salery."

oOo: oOo: oOo: oOo: oOo: oOo: oOo: oOo:

you ever played baseball? if not, shut the hell up

foot ball you run for 30mn and a 15mn break, then another 30mn. plus you get tackled by 300lp men. no thats not physically demandaing as just running around kicking your right. SARCASM

As for physically demanding in american HANDball (cause thats what it fucking is) thats what the pussy padding is for. Rugby is a lot more demanding in the tackles and shit than either soccer or american HANDball.

And old fuck up and fuck off, you dont have to play a game to have an opinion on it you fucking cock monkey.

rofl! handball? what the hell is that.... I personally know someone who is a graduate assistant coach for a division 2 college team. he works with the scout team (not even 1st stringers) and they practice 5 days a week, study film, practice routes, study the scheme, nurse injuries, consider matchups and prepare mentally for the game. football's not just running into each other

Well look at american "football", 99% of the time the ball is in someones hands as opposed to being kicked. Hence why i called it handball, simple really. The name football for that sport is a complete contradiction.

call it what you want, its football here. name of the game doesnt matter, its how you play the game. i'm not surprised, europeans are ignorant to american sports anyways

Yeah, "ignorant" cause generally theyre slow moving and boring. Kinda explains why baseball and american "football" are only really popular in america and nowhere else.

rofl...if its so boring then why do 110,000 people go into michigan stadium every saturday , sometimes paying over 200 bucks for the ohio state game and michigan state games rolleyes:

Probably to get fucking drunk. oOo:

And i could ask you morons the same question about soccer stadiums being filled to capacity with like 120,000 plus.

yeah, i'm sure you'd pay 200 bucks just to get drunk when they dont even serve beer in the stadium

[quote="Old Reliable":b9912]yeah, i'm sure you'd pay 200 bucks just to get drunk when they dont even serve beer in the stadium[/quote:b9912]

Yeah its the "cool" thing to do didn't ya hear. oOo:

While I'm sure only people go to soccer games to start riots, that's when it gets exciting

lol and push people over the edge of the stadium, crushing other people.
