[ice grillin you]

baseball of all sports needs come color and personality....baseball with these archiac rules beat the joy out of kids from little league on up

its not like that in other countries which is why the brown players piss people off so much

baseball of all sports needs come color and personality

yes, 100% agreed.

You can tell that baseball (a) is the oldest "American" sport in the country (TRADITION!!) and (b) originated from a British game (also known for their love of tradition and being bland and proper).

The 2 most popular sports in the country are hoops and football, both of which made a gazillion dollars by allowing their players to have fun, show off their personalities, and taunt the hell out of their opponents. Both have scaled back on the latter over the last decade, but still allow for a lot of individual focus to be put on players.

It's funny because baseball is the most individualized of all the team sports, but it's really the only sport that doesn't want players to celebrate an individual accomplishment. Hit a HR, and it's like 90% because the batter beat the pitcher. ROB, who is due up, # of outs does play a factor in what kind of pitch a batter might get, but it's still largely mono y mono. A million different things can happen to allow a RB to break a 60yd run or for a player to get to the rack and finish with a dunk that the individual had nothing to do with, but it's more acceptable for him to celebrate. Doesn't make sense.

the thing i wonder is why is it ok for a pitcher, like say papsmear or giles or smoltz to name a couple, to celebrate after stiking a guy out to end a game but OMG a guy flipped a bat after he rocked a pitch 400plus feet.

part of it is it was the 7th inning....but even in the early 90s white people and boring people every year raved at barry sanders for flipping the ball to the ref after a td

theres a ton of sports fans, republican and democrat, that just have a stick up their ass. no other way to say it than that.

[smeags]

you damn kids, get off my lawn !

[ice grillin you]

I loved what sanders did too....barry and deion...problem is so many people only like barrys way

[smeags]

one thing TO said that was on always on point, you wanna stop me from celebrating, stop me from scoring.

[Rome]

I don't know any other way of saying it.  I was trolling before and if you didn't catch it the second time, you should really consider driving super fast-like into the nearest brick wall.

eddie v is dealin

[ice grillin you]

joey at bats with great work to draw that

pen needs to get up

[ice grillin you]

eddie is classic example of great stuff but doesn't know how to pitch and so he becomes so inefficient

[ice grillin you]

someone paid off tulo to not swing that at bat

[ice grillin you]

wow what a turn

Yep, that 6th inning where he threw allmost 20 pitches to walk Donaldson and Bautista with no outs was almost a complete disaster yet he strikes out Encarnacion and Tulo to get out of it.
