The I Hate Baseball Thread

[Newc]

Ok, the BaseBall fans have their thread, the Hockey fans have one, I'm sure there's an NFL thread around here somewhere - we'll get to those later

I hate baseball. It was ok when I was a kid - before the strategists got into it and the guys in the field actually had something to do besides watch.

Today it's all about the pitcher throwing a no-hitter and the batter hitting it out of the park. Where's the fun in that?
Drive one down the baseline so close to it that only the Ump knows it's in, and he's wondering why the baseman isn't chasing it.
Throw a straight ball and take a chance that your fielders know what they're doing. Give the fans something to watch instead of 2 guys playing fuckin catch all day.

Better yet, get off the field and let someone else do something worth watching, worth buying a ticket to, and worth getting paid to do. I don't care if it's figure skating on grass skates, anything's gotta be better than baselol.


Oh, and that "America's Pasttime" crap can kiss my ass. Look at this country. America's Pasttime is killing, screwing, and consuming. We've done more of that since 1776 than baseball.


If you love baseball, fine. Go back to your own thread. This is the thread for other people who hate it.

The only thing I hate about baseball is the constant steroid bashing - its such bullshit. These guys should be allowed to juice as much as they want. It's called science - welcome to the 21st century.

I can't wait until we get some genetically engineered SUPERMEN playing in baseball - gene spliced, grown in vats, raised by computers... oh man, suck that "61*"

[Ben...]

Grass skates. What a novel idea.

I'm impartial. I don't like baseball but I don't hate it either.

[atomic charvel guy]

People always hate what they don't understand.

Turk,
Not a bad idea-lol

I hate baseball. I also hate basketball. And ice hockey. And AMERICAN football.
In fact, I don't understand why you guys watch any of the crappy sports you do.

Soccer - REAL football - is where it's at.

Oh, and the stupid organ music in ice hockey and baseball. What's that shit all about?!

Soccer, along with barbie dolls is what little girls play over here in the States Boys play football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, MMA etc etc

I'm going back to my baseball thread.............:ROTF::ROTF::ROTF:

That's because you're ALL gay!

Don't bring boxing into it, that's not a USA-only sport like baseball, basketball or American! football. Us Brits like our boxing and are pretty good at it too....

And like I said - that organ music in American sports - what the FUCK is that shit all about? :think:

[Shawn Lutz]

none of those are USA only sports

[atomic charvel guy]

When I think of soccer, I can only come up with two positives.
1-The loyal and insane European fans at the game
2-The American Soccer milfs.

newc-
It only seems like like two guys having a catch as hitting a sphere is probably the hardest thing to do in all sports, at least in regards to hand eye coordination.
Also-
It's not about no hitters and homeruns, it's about making a few bucks-lol

[MartinBarre]

Aye okay, if you want to be pedantic about it, one or two people in other countries play them.
But they're predominantly played in the USA which was what I meant.

Obviously.

Baseball HUGE in Central/South America and Japan Canada has football and hockey is played pretty much everwhere, Sweden, Russia, Norway Finland, Canada etc.

Soccer (foorball to your) is pretty much the world's top sport as it can be played anywhere and any time. I just can't sand the diving for a fould and open show of wussiness when there is any form of contact :ROTF: For most folks us here soccer is a mommy sport that moms put their kids in so they don't get hurt Usually have a pussy whipped Dad who who lets wifey ware the pants and do whatever she says..lol

I do like indoor socer somewhat as its played on a hockey rink and is much quicker, faster action imho..

[atomic charvel guy]

The greatest sport we are all overlooking is possibly Irish Hurling.
Gotta admit that is a sick sick game.
