Play ball!
Totally agree.
Tim
Yes, I agree indeed! I couldn't have much better news. Especially b/c we're getting dumped on today with snow here in Columbus. Play Ball!!!
Boozle, RW here
I totally agree with you. Once football season is over I look forward to baseball once again with a passion. Now that I've moved to upstate New York, I can get the YES channel and am able to watch "every" Yankee game all season long if I'm able. Between that, my fishing and gardening, you could say that I'm a very happy retiree.
Later, RW
RW:
Sadly I can't get YES where I live so I have to hope the wind is blowing in the right direction and I can get some games on the radio plus the few that end up on Fox and ESPN. I will watch other games too but not with same passion as I do when it's the Yanks!
But I now have the AAA Scranton Yankees an hour away so I'll be up there watchin' the kids on their way to the bigs!
Bamboozle: Checkout MLB.com. They have a package that lets you watch the games or listen to them on your computer.

I work for a College with 14 (NAIA) national baseball championships. (including last year.) The first tournament is this weekend here in Lewiston. Let spring begin :D
Eric
Yea I know about it but pi$$es me off that MLB makes you pay when it USED to be free! I only have a dial-up connection so that makes it not too enjoyable. It's bad enough when I sit there like some kind of junkie in front of my computer watching the Gameday game simulation graphics; waiting for the updates when I can't get a game on TV or radio.Quote:

Ahh for the good old days when I used to get ALL the games FOR FREE on Channel 11.
Comerica Park will be sold out again this year. I hope the Tigers can keep the momentum going, at least give a try for the pennant.
Bamboozle.. you may get your wish. NASCAR ran from XM to Sirius and I wouldn't be surprised if MLB doesn't do the same thing. Every other major sport is represented on Sirius.. basketball, NFL and NCAA football, etc... I'm not a huge baseball fan in terms of watching the game, but I do like having it on the radio. Would be nice to get it on Sirius.
does football season ever end? is there someone, somewhere, anywhere,,, who is not SICK OF IT? :evil:
I've pretty much quite watching pro anything....give me a good college game anytime....and BTW...I don't care if Duke ever wins another game :evil:
JC
I was sick of Football season after the Buckeyes flopped in the National Championship. game :evil:
And don't even get me started on the NFL joke.
Can never tire of football.. actually go into a minor withdraw when it's over. Oh well.. that's what fishing season is for :D
Wild One.. just curious.. how is NFL a joke? I hear alot of guys say "I only watch college, never watch the pros" and I have my own theories on why people go that why and like to get any other perspectives when they present themselves. Care to elaborate? Personally, I have my preferences for each level, NCAA and NFL, depending on what experience I want to pull from it all.
Good luck to the returning World Series Champion:
ST. LOUIS CARDINALS!!!
I went back to watching my local little league. The best baseball in the world bar none. You can have all the professional (including college) sports.Quote:

I have to agree, PRO baseball is depressing. The OSU Beavers were a great story last year and it looks like the Beavers are good once again.
I think the only professional baseball team I root for is the Cubs. They have great fans and they don't act like it's the end of the world when they lose!
Because of their stupid payroll, I love it when the Yankees lose.
I'm happy the Portland Trailblazers look like they want to actually PLAY this year. Brandon Roy from Washington is a great player and person.
Ducksterman, the eastern press is having a heart attack that DUKE isn't what it used to be in BB.
When they get Kyle Singler next year, that should help them.
When Kevin Love goes to UCLA next year in BB, they will dominate the PAC 10.

If you all want to see real fun baseball come on over and we will drive up to the Little League World Series. About a 45 minute drive from my front door. I usually watch it on T.V. but I plan on personally attending this year.
By the way, it is hockey season. They may be over paid too, but, in my opinion, hockey players are the last of the real tough guys in pro sports.
If they would eliminate fighting in pro hockey, I'd probably watch more often. I played from a kid up into high-school and love the game, just hate seeing the fights. It kills the game's marketability and it's a shame.
Hockey,
Has been in trouble because of lack of Sponsorship and fighting and high salaries and not enough fans.
Something positive has finally happened for hockey and that is High Def TV. Every tuesday I watch a pro hockey game on HD and it is amazing how clear the picture is and you can actually SEE the PUCK!
Doug :D
Hazmat has hit the nail on the head. Baseball may be starting but I'm still in football withdrawal. Another month or two will be required before I can enjoy any sport again. But when the first pitch is thrown out, I will be ready. 8T :D
Take me out to the ball game.
GO JAYS GO!!!
Is Toronto going to beat the Yankees and Boston this year?Quote:

sorry for taking so long to reply to your question, i've been busy in other threads.
My main gripe is somewhat weak in terms of argument and I realized that. It doesn't, however, change how I feel about it. I just hate the feeling I get from most NFL players, owners, coaches, and sometimes fans that no other sport compares. It may be my own perception, but that is how I feel. There are actually other progessinals that have great talent that play other sports. Football is not the "do all, end all" of sports.
Also, the NBA might be close, but I can't think of any other pro sport with more criminals playing. My boss is a die-hard Bengals fan (yea I know, but they did have a great season). His 5 year old knows every single player on the team (by name of course, not pesonally). Nine Bengals players were arrested in nine consecutive months this past season. Chris Henry alone was arrested 4 times in 14 months. Wow, what a bunch of great role models for a 5 year old kid.
Secrectly, I'm jealous too :oops: . I always wanted to lay someone out and get paid 36 million dollars to do it.
Of course evey sport has its black marks and negative publicity (I love baseball, but wow, what a bunch of winers). So, I'm not poking sticks, just answering your question. I'd rather be fishing than watching ANY sport anyway. That is what really matters.
