Baseball

[Fang-wa]

Let's you baseball lovers sprint around on a field that's bigger than football fields for 90 minutes.

*cough* I just think it's boring. And rugby tops football any day. *runs out of thread*

EDIT: I could go on an hour rant about how mental soccer is, but I'll spare you all this time. =P

lol I don't doubt that football is mental, as is throwball and basketball and most other sports. But this is more mental and less physical, simply because it's a slower game. It's not easy to throw a ball into a space with the area of a couple feet without the batter hitting it. Pure psychology. I admit that I am bored with it at times when I feel the need for fast-paced sports, but all in all I think it's a good game.

*hopes some people will want to join the World Series contest he's going to go start in Odyssey 105 in a minute*

Edit: Okays so I got the World Series contest set up. Hurry and post, those who would like to join! Clickey heres to be magically transported through the world of little electrons to the game/contest.

When I want fast-paced sports I turn to cool things like short-track speed skating!

Well, this isn't major league, but the Rochester Red Wings (minor league) did pretty well this season, with a bunch of home runs by Brock Peterson (no relation to me, but has same name as AIO news announcer)

*raises hand*

I've played baseball and soccer. I was probably the third fastest player on the team, and played in every game.
Also, in my high school, pretty much everyone that played baseball had played soccer and been good at it, whereas there was a large number of soccer players that couldn't hit a baseball to save their life.

I'm not trying to hate or anything, but I'm just giving some input from my experience.

Oh, and about baseball being boring..
What's boring about hitting a small round ball travelling at 90+ MPH with a round bat. Not to mention it was calculated that a MLB player has .3 seconds to decide whether or not he will swing the bat. Hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do in sports, without question.

It might be slow, but if you stop and appreciate what is happening (like the fact that someone is actually throwing that fastball faster than you drive on the highway), it makes it much better.

I could also argue how baseball is the most mental sport there is, but I will try to stop ranting.

Phillies just took game one -- nice one Lee, Utley. Great game. Here we go not-Yankees!

This is week 1 of Baseball delaying Glee, now I have to wait a full other week before it comes back on. So depressing.

Thank you. And the fielding is no small task either! Especially the pitcher, trying to throw a ball inside a two foot square (no idea on measurements lol) box without it getting hit. Plus the other fielders having the patience to stand and yet be ready for a ball faster than the pitch to come their way.

Oh yaya! Go Anti-Yankees!

Just imagine that it's the Glee characters on the field.
