IMO it's the most retarded 'sport' ever... i wish i got paid millions of dollars to stand in a grassy field and scratch my nuts. Oh and on top of that I get to bitch that i'm not paid enough and dumbasses still go pay to watch me stand in a grassy field scratching my nuts

apparently nobody can https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

HA HA you are replying to your own topics.

it was my sly way of bumping it... or I could just say that I like talking to myself

I would LOVE the opportunity to explain the beauty of baseball!! Ahh...the "American" sport...Now I'll be the first to admit there's alot of ball scratchin' goin' on out there...But that's only PART of the fun https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ...



Where else can you see someone throwing a small object at almost 100 miles an hour?? Then another guy amazingly proceeds to take a crack at it with a narrow wooden stick and watch it sail hundreds of feet...Amazing...There's so much SKILL to this game! You have to be able to transfer the motion from your legs to your arms to really wail the ball...and it has to be done with precision so it nails another guy's glove...All without errors. Plus, you've gotta move fast...And pitching...Pitching is a talent all in and of itself.



Man...Are you being serious?! Do you seriously think there is no appeal whatsoever? I am especially shocked that you put sport in quotation marks as though to say it weren't one...That's like saying bowling is a "sport"...

admins can bump using the "bump" command... so i am going with talking to yourself.

i can't tell if renesis is being sarcastic or not?

I love baseball. I think a person either "gets it" or doesn't. I don't care for hockey, oval tracks, horse racing...but MANY others do. We all have our own interests I guess.

but could ya explain to me why you like it? I just don't 'get it'? as you say... when I was little i did but then those homos had a strike because 20 million wasn't enough... damn homoerotic **********ers

It is hard to have sympathy for striking players, but keep in mind that the owners are really at fault. First they pony up millions for "star" players and then complain about it. Second they lie about the teams profit. The baseball commissioner outright lied in a congressional hearing about how baseball is losing money. I saw a recent story that compared what each MLB team made to what he claimed and it was infuriating. Meanwhile, the everyday utility player misses out on a fair share of all those dollars. If the owners don't have the money why is it that they offer the big money to "star" players...liars.



That aside, I enjoy watching a control pitcher trick a hitter, getting him off balance or even a power pitcher like Johnson fire 100mph blast. its great to watch the hitters adjust...not their package... to the pitching. I like to see the personalities that i like succeed and those I don't struggle.



It was awesome to watch the last game of the 01 series. Schilling and Johnson finally got to go to a series and then led the underdog Dbacks to win over the mighty Yankees (I like the Yankees and hate the Mets).
