Baseball
« on: February 03, 2009, 03:35:04 PM »
In the U.S. , if you’re not a fan of baseball, you might as well not be American  ::)
One hundred and sixty two games in a regular season (are you serious ) is 142 too many. Come on.  By the time July rolls around, a game-winning home run or strike out in the bottom of the ninth doesn’t mean shit,
Now, I’ve been invited to baseball games before, and after foolishly accepting the first couple of times, I’ve since learned to fake either a limp or a devastating and sudden brain injury, since baseball is the dullest thing ever invented to be played by men in embarrassingly snug pants on mounds of dirt.I recognize it’s America’s national pastime, but  once you unwrap baseball from the American flag and untie the eagle baked in an apple pie you tied around it, it turns out baseball’s so staggeringly fucking boring you could get hit in the temple with a foul ball and be grateful.
If you can think of two things more excruciatingly dull than sitting still for six hours watching screens flip through mathematics while snug-panted men occasionally interrupt long stretches of standing around to hit a ball from one end of the stadium to the other, then you’re from England and have watched cricket, and my condolences.

can you imagine what it was like living in NYC in the 1950's and being a baseball fan with Mickey Mantle, Willie Mays and Duke Snider playing the same position at the same time in the same city? makes me wish i was born in the 30's. :o

I can't find the clip on YouTube, but this thread reminds me of the scene in Cobb with Tommy Lee Jones as Ty Cobb.  Some guy asked him, "If you were still playing, what do you think you would hit today?"  Cobb answered, ".290"  The guy said, "But your lifetime average was over .370 and you hit .400 a bunch of times.  Why only .290?"  Cobb replied, "Because I'm seventy-two fuckin' years old!!"

Easy there tiger

Sure he could hit from both sides of the plates
But:

Then -just Curves and fast ball  (piece of cake for sluggers)
Now- Do you really want me to name how many throws can actually dominate the most dangerous hitter?

Then--they were like 4 or 5 pitchers in the league that can really throw over 90 mph
Now- Theres like 5 pitchers in every team that can throw over 90 mph.


Then- only one pitcher was used per game even if the pic had a bad day will be rare to have a relief pitcher in the 9th.
Now- A starting pitcher would go hard 6 to 7 innings if not few relief pitchers  and then a fresh Closer.

Now-  Its hard to hit over 40 doubles in a season due to the speed given to the outfielders "jackasses on steroids"
Pitcher have more strengh and movement on their throws (balls)thanks to steroids
A shortstop can make a double play faster thanks to steroids and so on and on.

Then - They were like 12 teams in the majors
Now - close to 30

Then - Anyone at 160 pounds could play at Major league lebel..
The best players were watching the game at home for being either black or latinos and not allowed to play.

Now things are a bit more competitive.

If youre over 90 years of age ...Nevermind
