MLB Playoffs

[snickerd3]

I still have to say, my God baseball is a boring game. I'm glad I didn't watch the first 6 scoreless innings last night, and I recorded the rest so I could fast forward through the tedious parts.

My thoughts exactly...being at a game is better than watching on tv...the feeling the crowd gives off is quite an experience.

^ true dat.

In the next game, I'm curious to see if Leland has the stones to send Valverde out on the field ...unless he's pushing a lawn mower or something

Live baseball >> Televised. Although not true for football IMHO. Cards look great again. Cant wait for another WS title.

It just seems like the tension mounts better to me as the innings go on in a baseball game, and that it is more of a chess match/cat and mouse game than football with the strategy. Then again I grew up in the baseball centric Northeast so I am sure I am biased. Don't get me wrong, I LOOOOVE football, just if you stuck a gun to my head and said pick a big baseball game or a big football game, I'd pick the baseball.

I tell myself that I enjoy watching playoff baseball because every play is magnified. Any one play can turn a game one direction or the other. In football one play can shift momentum but seldom does it seem to shift the outcome of the game in the same way as it does in low scoring games like baseball (hockey, soccer, etc.).

With that said, Sunday evening when there was a baseball game and a football game on that I had no vested interest in, I tended to end up watching the football game.

Baseball is messing with my regularly scheduled programing...now that we have cable back my shows are on hiatus due to the playoffs!!!!

Last night's MLB game was a dud. I flipped back and forth between that and MNF. I tried to go to bed at halftime, couldn't, and figured I'll fall asleep while I watch. Tale of two halves to be sure.

At least in hockey there is some ACTION. I'd watch that over baseball or football any day.

But then, I'm from Hockeytown.

too bad hockey is on lockout...at least they are talking though.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ How's that lockout treating you right now?

 

[mudpuppy]

Eh, I'm a fairweather hockey fan just like I am with baseball. Ask me again in May.

I used to watch a lot of hockey. At least until the salary cap turned the Avalanche into a shell of it's former self. Now I can't name 2 players on the team...

Same same - too much good sports going on in the fall to give a rip about hockey for sure!

Now tonite, its either watch two sack of sh!t *********s debate & spin for the media...

...or watch Verlander & Cabrera paste the Yanks - not a tuff choice in my book :tv:

Phew! I thought you'd gone full Canadian on us, what with the hockey and curling...

Don't forget the Kraft Dinner and Molson...

He does live in Michigan, which Canada might as well usurp as its next province.

I am ambivalent towards hockey. I've been to a bunch of college games and love it in the Olympics, just don't give a hoot about the NHL.

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

A-Rod benched again, and they get 5 more years of this. I'd love $25M to warm a seat for someone.

 

[Dexman PE PMP]

^^^ that's $25m of pure happiness for me.

 

[EM_PS]

Hopefully he'll begin his offseason after tonite.

Now I kinda hope the Cards do advance...no pacific time games in the Series, and of course there's the revenge factor too. :15:

SWEEP!! AL East - WHAT WHAT?! oking:

two words for the Yankees - blow chunks! uke:

 

[RIP - VTEnviro]

This is the bat the Yankees used in the ALCS. Woof.
