Rest Of Baseball - 2021

[QB Eagles]

I can't tell if people "like" baseball as a gag that I just don't get or if they actually like it because they're slow witted morons who think hotdogs are a food group.

It's pretty bad. Not the fault of the current crop of players.

It's nice to have a game on the radio while grilling some burgers, but that's the thing. It's a radio era game. Hard to justify sitting down and actually paying attention to the whole thing with all the entertainment options available in the 2020s.

Jomboy's doing his best to make the game fit the era. He's basically the only one.

I loved listening to games as a kid but I legit can't imagine watching an entire baseball game right now. Any time America is the only place on earth that enjoys a thing you should probably look at it cock-eyed. Nostalgia is the only possible explanation for continuing to watch and defend baseball as a "sport".

I equate baseball fans to deadheads. Like, this thing that you like is very obviously not good or entertaining in any objective way. But you keep insisting against all evidence that WE'RE the ones who don't get it. Just admit that you have a soft spot in your heart for it because you got laid forty years ago during a killer jam sesh (the dead) or that it reminds you of a time that you didn't hate your father (baseball). That would at least make more sense than insisting that baseball is a farging sport.

[ice grillin you]

i think the super american maga sport that isnt played anywhere else you are looking for is football.... baseball is all over the world

if for no other reason baseball is great cause the summer would be a hell hole without it

emerald chessboard fo life

I don't know if Central America and Southeast Asia counts as all over the world but that's not a hill I'm willing to die on. Nor was it my point.

Baseball is boring af and has no redeemable qualities. THAT'S a hill I'm willing to die on.

I love baseball. Loved playing it and enjoy watching games.

Don't love the nerd takeover of the sport but hopefully they'll go away.

people who dont like baseball love nothing more than telling people they dont like baseball

i dont know one single solitary person who cares that russell 2 lite beers and go to bed virginia smith doesnt like baseball but here we are. i dont like lacrosse and therefore do not talk about lacrosse. its very simple.

[rjs246]

I like lacrosse and still don't talk incessantly about lacrosse. That's the farging difference, Todd.

[phattymatty]

baseball > lacrosse

[rjs246]

False. But everyone is entitled to their incorrect opinions.

[phattymatty]

too rapey for my tastes

[rjs246]

Oh sure. Entitled white boy prep school culture is the fargin worst. Of course, toxic white trash mullet and chaw baseball culture isn't exactly great either.

But the real point is that thiccboy first basemen with the agility and speed of a 2x4 are not athletes. And you know this, man.

[General_Failure]

Baseball is for people who can't handle the excitement of golf.

[PhillyPhreak54]

But what if one enjoys baseball AND golf?!

[Diomedes]

In that case suicide is indicated.  Hop to.

[PhillyPhreak54]

After you, sir.

After the MIL visit you may beat me to it
