Btw, I am more surprised than anything about this strong dislike for baseball on this forum, especially with the cited response of it being too long and drawn out. You fuckface mcgees played or play gemstone, the most grindtastic game of all time, and you complain that, on average, a 3 hour game (football is 3 hours too, btw) is too long.
I am surprised, really just surprised. That being said, fuck ya'll, eat shit and die.
The difference between baseball and football is so immense as to be incomparable. Let me sum it up in two (or three) images for you.Quote:

Supporting evidence (80% of the game is this):

I go to an Astros game when I get the chance. It's nice to have a whole section to myself, lol.
I like that it's consumer friendly. You can be as involved or aloof as you want and still follow the game. I eat, do work, chat with strangers and look up to see what's going on every once in a while. I have seen those number crunching people too though who will engage anyone emphatically in batting record analysis or whatsit until my ears bleed. I imagine latrin is like that.
The length of the baseball games isn't what bothers me. It's the boringness of them that is the real culprit of suckitude.
And yeah, what Drakefang said about comparing football and baseball. It's like comparing awesome with a bag of dicks covered in my poop (aka, Paradii's lunch).
Baseball was a lot better when Terry Francona was managing the best team in the league. I now understand what baseball is like for people living in small market/horrible team areas.
As far as the length argument, and this has already been addressed, it's as long as a fucking football game. There's no halftime. There's no clock management. Something happens like 150 times in a football game, and that includes quarterbacks kneeling, spiking, making incomplete passes, and everything else. Less than once per minute. Something happens at least 200 times in every baseball game.
Try being a Mariners fan. The last 12 or so years have been painful.Quote:

The rest of it is just standing around or sitting on the bench waiting your turn.
I think I'm becoming too white. Had some lamb vindaloo for lunch from an authentic Indian place who know me (IE, they cook it the Indian way, not the way they cook it for the average customer), and it was *almost* too hot for me. I can still feel it 2 1/2 hours later.
Oh god, that sounds soo good.Quote:
