It might be better if there was a clock. The pace is just tedious. Part of a good game's charm is its pace. Watching guys standing around spitting tobacco juice and scratching their balls does not interest me. Probably less of that in northern Michigan than sw Florida. ? Certainly. They have hockey here, a fist fight, occasionally interrupted by some kind of skating game. SW Florida has lots of baseball, mostly northern teams coming down every winter to train where it is not snowing and a ****load of other northerners coming to watch. A lot of times you can get a free ticket for the farm teams, just by buying a slurpee or a hot dog at the shop and rob. The real teams can still be seen pretty cheap most of the time. Way less than watching them up there. I like baseball on the radio. Nice, interesting background while actually doing something. Loved listening to baseball in the summer on the radio when I was a kid. In the early 1950s, I don't remember exactly when, I saw my first major league baseball game *in color* at the home of a friend whose parents had *big* money. I'm pretty sure it was a Brooklyn Dodgers game...the Bums were my favorite team. Seeing a baseball game is like watching grass grow. too slow. too boring. Too many players on the field just standing around picking their noses, spitting, and scratching their balls. Is it the ball scratching that gets you excited? Baseball is a game of finesse, patience, intellectuality, sportsmanship, and more, all attributes that obviously would have no appeal to a nekulturny asshole like you. Intellectuality? Some of the dumbest people play that game at a high level. They can't possibly be as dumb as football players, who willingly risk serious, debilitating head injuries and other crippling injuries in every practice and game. For multiple million $$$ legally. While others risk jail and death to rob a gas station. Whose dumb? Moronic comparison. And yours was not? To what comparison of mine in this thread are you referring, Bilious, or are you as usual just drooling? I think it was the relative dumbness baseballers and footballers. You don't seem to favor the more educated footballers. Why? Isn't the quantity of higher education the only measure you subscribe to? I don't "favor" athletes for their intellectual abilities, but I am sure for you the typical brain-damaged footballer is a hero to you because he was brave enough to risk his thinking ability for money. Use to scuba dive with a guy, who played for Green Bay. Had better degrees than you. Ended up a math teacher. Yawn. I have a friend who was All-Pro a few times and has two Super Bowl rings. I'm sure he's smarter than you are, because he retired *before* he was permanently injured and hasn't fallen off any roofs. |
