Take me out to the ballgame - NOT!!!
 

Hall of Shame. :nope:

I think that is baseball, right? I just can't figure what the game is about. :88) At school I played Volleyball (I did quite well), and I loved "Völkerball" - I was everybody's nightmare, so the others didn't like it as much. :smug: But baseball - the team collecting the most plates wins, yes? It seems to be a solitaire game, then. But what has a ball to do with it?

Baseball?
Thats some sort of rounders, but played by grown men and in silly costumes....right?

What's so silly about pajamas?

Oh, G-d...Europeans. :-?

Actually, that was minor league baseball (an affiliate of the Major League Atlanta Braves), and those kinds of things are generally part of the show, although he took it to an interesting extreme.

Within the "gentlemanly" context of baseball as a sport, managerial explosions are really quite traditional and a natural part of the game... the theory being that umpires will be less likely to start squeezing a team on close calls in the future.

I love baseball. :yep: :)

I like Baseball, understand about as much of it as I do cricket, but I like cricket too :up:

Good show by the manager, obviously running low on funds and couldn't afford a mascot for the light-entertainment ;) :lol:

I find myself saying that a lot while visiting this site! :rotfl:

I love baseball (recently, at least). Sunday was a 24-carat Red Sox heartbreaker

Baseball :up:

Or is it that one that looks a bit like Rugby with armour and helmets;)

I just couldn't resist sorry:rotfl:

I no longer consider baseball a true sport with all the body-enhancing drugs on the market nowadays. Todays' baseball players will never equal the likes of Hank Arronson or Babe Ruth.

I agree. Though it still beats that silly thing you Europeans like to call "football".

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I thought that guy was a little worked up for Bobby Cox.:lol:

:o

How many TV shows or Comedians have made a career explaining baseball?

The simplest way to explain baseball is:

You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball.

Its really a very very simple game. Some dumb looking brute stands at the plate with a 2 by 4. Some skinny head case throws a bundled up bunch of yarn and tanned animal skin at some crazy motherfu**er thats crouching behind the hitter wearing a pillow so he won't die (that was my position). The hitter tries to hit the ball and if he does he runs as far as he can without getting himself tagged out. Repeat until 3 outs. 9 innings. Lots of trips to the concession stand.:up:

Now Europeans might be ignorant of baseball, but at least they appreciate hockey.:rock:

Hockey? Bleh!:roll:

Well, I was born in the PRC so I'm not European, but okay......:doh:

I didn't mean you as in you but rather you as in them. Clear as mud?:lol:

Yea what makes me really sick is that you're one game away from being the state that will host the Stanley Cup for a year.

But what can I expect? You people like basketball. I mean honestly. Know how much basketball sucks? Canada created it, played it for a bit then said "hey this sucks, lets go play hockey".:rotfl:
