We’re talking baseball.
Well hopefully.
They want to start up Spring Training on July 1st. At least they hope to because who knows how the worry warts are going to deal with the reality that testing positive for the Chinese Flu is NOT a death sentence. Sigh.
On the bright side we may have Baseball again. Yipee!
So the question of the day is this, how do you feel about the return of baseball?
I know I will watch. How about you?
how do you feel about the return of baseball?
Couldn’t care less about it starting.
I might or might not watch, probably not. I can’t take sports announcers anymore, they have way too much to talk about to pay any attention to the game going on.
I am a little worried about if they start with the kneeling and pandering and “Bubba” Wallace crap, then I’ll be done with it.
“Low and outside. You just bought a condo in Boca Raton, how are you liking that?”
“Well, I gotta say, it’s a big step up for a kid from Milwaukee who never thought he’d even get a job in broadcasting. We’re going to get some fishing in before the end of the year, I hope.”
“But this is your town.”
“This is my town. Malone takes first.”
What I was thinking about was, ‘This reminds me of a game I played in 1987, (long story about him), oh, they just hit 4 home runs in a row, now back to my story about me.’
Me? I’m just hoping it gets cancelled because of another disease, so I can use “Baseball’s been beriberi good to me.”
Shellfish, I know.
It gives me fever. Fever…in the mornin, fever all through the night.
So I guess the liberal terrorists have won. What are they coming for next, Apple Pie?
mmmmmmm . . . .
With a universal DH and a runner on second to start extra innings, can 4-fouls-and-yer-out be far behind? Welcome to Major League T-Ball. Boileryard Clarke weeps. But of course I’ll watch it.
DH in the National League instead of cancelling it in the junior league, I was blocking that out.
T-ball indeed..
How soon before they don’t keep score?
Dammmmmmmmmmnit, DH. Now I’m ticked off.
The can put a keg at each base and call it softball.
A keg at each base?
That I’d watch.
Even with aluminum bats?
Hey, as far as I’m concerned, baseball is getting what they deserved.
They really shouldn’t have drank Jobu’s rum, is veddy bad…
They’ve introduced a universal DH. They’re dead to me.
And ALL sports need to fire the announcers. They add nothing to the game.
As long as they play the game “just a little bit outside “…
I grew up watching the LA Dodgers. Later, when I was married, Anaheim stadium was much more convenient and I tried to get interested in them. Nope, not happening. I could never get over the DH. What a sissy way to play baseball.
Then came the strike. I realized then that MLB, owners and players, don’t care about baseball. More to the point, they don’t care about baseball fans. I skipped anything but the occasional box score for fifteen years. Pro football proved the fans were immaterial and I haven’t watched an entire NFL game in 30 years. I asked myself, if they don’t care, why should I?
Now MLB is reminding me of what I’d forgotten. Their current squabbling shows fans are unimportant. Then they decided to not just step on a rake, by introducing the DH to the NL but stomp it into the ground by eliminating 40+ minor league teams. I now live in what is/was a minor league city with no minor league season and, now, no minor league team. If MLB doesn’t care about baseball, why should I care about them? I skipped MLB for 15 seasons the last time they got stupid. I can do fifteen again without breaking a sweat.
Metal bats by 2025, just watch.
I really don’t care one way or the other about pro baseball, it’s a very boring game…not as boring as soccer but pretty close. I’m getting that same attitude towards pro-football but for a different reason. I fully expect this season to be a full on sit/kneel during the anthem whine-a-thon of political correctness and I am really not in the mood to put up with it. Yes you are free to do…it but I am free not to participate by watching it.
