FSG & winning

Time for Silver Sean's medication methinks.

 

[doctor_mac]

When did baseball players start wearing these lame looking slacks? I much preferred it when the pants were tight.

I'll bet you did.

 

[gene hughes]

Arf.

Reminds me of one Dave Allen used to tell. On a wall somewhere, somebody's written "I Need Grils". Underneath that someone else has written "You mean 'girls'." Underneath *that* someone else again has written "What's wrong with us grils?".

Hahahaha. Loved Dave Allen.

When FIFA first introduced an international football competition between national teams it was sponsored by a company called "The World Cup"

The Premiership is considered by many to be the best league in the world, and players from Japan, South East Asia, South America and Lichtenstein all dream of playing in it, so from now on it will be renamed the "World Series* of Soccer Football in the Offensive Endzone"

(* apologies to World Series Inc. for taking their corporate name in vain)


PS - In fairness I did once go to a baseball game (in Phoenix) and by the 8th innings was enjoying it. Though that may be more to do with the fact that there were folks wandering around the stands selling beer to us while we watched - that is one innovation I think should be adopted in our sport.

The aggressive nature of the support in football, as well as the comparatively short games would suggest it would get pretty chaotic if introduced in football.
By comparison, the laid back nature of baseball and cricket makes it perfect to have it.

 

[keniget]

Well, this ended up going rather poorly for Silver Sean.

Live a little, take a risk - chaos is fun
I am very proud of my record of never having attended a cup final sober ... A late arrival at Istanbul airport on a "dry" plane put that record at risk in 2005, but discovery of a kiosk in the airport selling cans of fosters, filling a bin bag with them and jumping onto the last bus to the Ataturk helped avert the risk, and lead to one of my top "final experiences"

So are the Boston Red Sox the world champions now?

 

[Mors]

I heard that the world's strongest man tournament is sponsored by a company called 'strongest man'.
You can tell I love my world's strongest man tournaments by knowing that. Any of you that didn't know that are fakers.

 

[Mors]

So are the Boston Red Sox the world champions now?

No, you're getting all confused. The Boston Red Sox are a baseball team, and world champions is a company that does other stuff. And no, all the players haven't gone to work for them.

 

[Athens]

It's a bit like Miss Universe. I mean, as far as I know all the contestants have been from Earth.

Where's all the Martian chicks with three tits?

 

[localny]

Oh deary me. Silver Sean pop your head in, and have a humble laugh man. They've taken your tale and made it hilarious.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

I remember super baseball 2020 on the super Nintendo, you had robots on your team.
Good times.

[Sheik Yerbouti]

It is shit though isn't it. And American Football. That's shit as well.

 

[gene hughes]

I thought baseball was shit but now I've watched it a bit, including this week, I like it and can see why people get a bit fanatical about it.

The constant fucking ads on tv are a terror though.

 

[Lippy]

Or maybe it's because it's a football forum. Baseball is the finest game to watch in sport. If you actually, you know, understand it, watch it, get involved with it. But why not just dismiss it out of hand because you have no knowledge.

Wow. It's really not but carry on going all angry and stuff.

 

[IGotALuvlyBunchOfCoconuts]

WHen does the new season start? I'll try following the Red Sox, just because...

Oh and I hope robots will play baseball soon, they're cool!

 

[Judge Jules]

Don't know about baseball but NFL is most certainly not sh!t.

 

[Gerry_A_Trick]

All sports are shit.

 

[Athens]

I just realised I missed a chance to include the line:

"They make me want to have three hands."

I'm disgusted at myself.

 

[Le Chacal]

And they won it at Fenway Park! Good news for Boston after the marathon tragedy.

Having said that, yeah I agree Baseball is shit

 

[Mors]

Don't know about baseball but NFL is most certainly not sh!t.

But there's a lot of pissing around and stopping and stuff? And they use armour aswell which is cheating the big girls' blouses.

 

[Mors]

Don't know about baseball but NFL is most certainly not sh!t.

I wonder if there's a company called super bowl that started it all?....

 

[Judge Jules]

It's true about the stopping and yes, that can be irritating, but the armour is badly needed. Those guys are crazy big AND they cover the ground at incredible speed for their size. Without the body armour people would quite literally get killed out there.

Gene is shocked at the commercialization of sport in America, and not a baseball fan. Have you been living on Alcatraz Island for the past few decades or summat?

 

[tombrown]

It is shit though isn't it. And American Football. That's shit as well.

Was in Arizona the other week & one of my colleagues said he had been playing "football" in the park with his mates the previous weekend. I had to ask him if they stopped playing every 4 minutes for a commercial break.

[Dreambeliever]

Ha Jesus Sean is taking a real Ass raping in this thread.

I enjoy playing baseball but watching it is boring

Now Hurling that's a sport impossible to dislike as a neutral
