- 4hr pitching duels
- The first base stare down
- Long fly balls
- Foul balls
- The grounder
- Shading him slightly left
- The pitch selection
- Wild pitch
- Infield pop up
- Meetings at the mound

I'm really trying to understand the excitement of this game.

Please help.

The day would last longer, and these guys would have a lot more fun. Another reason why hockey isn't a sport is that it's not played with a ball. Anything not played with a ball can't be a sport. These are my rules, I make 'em up.

If you don't like baseball, don't post in baseball thread. I don't like hockey or soccer, but you don't see me jumping into their discussions making jokes about how boring they are and demanding explanations why people like them.



EDIT: On topic, about Manny, not surprised. I will admit I did take some glee reminding some friends what a big part that juicing cheater was to 2 Boston WS wins.

Not sure where a demand was made.

I looked at it as having a different opinion like with cigars. Some like a certain Marca or what have you and some don't. People are allowed to voice their opinion either way.

To Smitty and all baseball fans I might have offended please accept my public apology. No harm was intended.

The jokes about the boring aspects of the game? What sport doesn't have certain elements about it that are mundane? How about focusing on the fun aspects of the game. Home runs are exciting. Stolen bases are exciting. Strike outs are exciting. Clutch hitting is exciting. Clutch pitching is exciting. The rivalries are exciting. I could go on and on and on, but I think that answers your question.

Nuances brother. It's all about the nuances.

I can recall last year on another thread where a Red Sox fan was telling a Dodger fan that they'll get fed up with his chit sooner than they think
