well it was the cubs you were playing. the only fun thing about their games is waiting for castro, aram or soriano to boot anouther ball.

good point. that team is pretty bad...but i'm talking about a 1 or 2 run game in the late innings. i don't care who they're playing, that's a good game. how are you not entertained?

THAT was likely in support of Canadian hockey. Great One = Fraudulent?

I just searched Miami's official site. looks like ALL those players were 1 and done with the heat. Maybe it was a demand from bronbron to have it retired. But to put it in the rafters?

Jackie Robinson is really fraudulent in Boston where he's memorialized in Right Field and the guy who said "get those n's off the field" when he and two others were trying out for the team in 1945 is memorialized on the Green Monster.

...or the 12 other players who wore it at the time mlb retired it. rivera is just the last one still playing.

see this is another thing...if the buckner thing happened with the phillies and this town went 20 years hating that man to the degree that boston did--i think the reaction would have been much harsher towards philly than it was against boston. in boston, the hatred was part of the whole "tortured red sox fan mystique". had that happened in philly, the national media would have lumped that in with the few drunks who threw snowballs at a drunk santa like 50 years ago. :roll:

lazy journalism = fraudulent.

agree with this 100%. also that guy who dressed up in Santa deserved to get hit with snowballs. it was very unoriginal and lame. only way i'll let it pass is if he was Santa for a charity event or fundraiser and didn't have time to change for the game and just said fuck it i'll go as Santa.

don't know if you know the real story but the wasn't supposed to be the real santa for that thing. the guy the eagles hired couldn't make it because of the weather. it was snowing. so they saw this dude just sitting in the stands. he was wearing a santa outfit (yeah that is pretty lame) and they just asked him to fill in. guy was like 5'8 and a 140 pounds. didn't look the part, other than the oversized suit...and he was drunk.

a guy i work with worked with him years ago. said he's a decent guy and is hilarious when he tells the story

unfortunately 2 waves broke out at the phils game yesterday.

i ducked each time it came to my section.

how can people be this bored in a close game? i don't get it...

because 98% of the people there are there because it's an event and have no personal stake in the winning or losing of the game. i was at the game friday night and the wave went around for about 5 times (granted it started at 7-0 but gasoline Romero was in by the time it ended). even more than jerseys Jaegs I've always hated the wave more. any adult male who participates in the wave is a dope.

and i still blame mitch williams for 1993. earliest and saddest i ever left a bar during my heavy drinking days. only started to feel better because of 2008 and because Mitch was pretty darn good on Comcast and now MLB Network. but it was his fault (he blew 2 games not just the last one).

I am pretty sure Pat Riley mandated it to be retired. I think the line of thinking was he didn't want someone to wear it because there will never be another player like or as good as Michael Jordan.

So if it's ok to swap your wife out, why isn't it ok to swap your fandom out. I mean, when joining weddded bliss, you typically make a pledge of until death, but 50% of marriages end up ending well before death. So i ask you, if i can break the binds of marriage, why can't i break the binds of fandom?

remember when you were a kid, adults referred to whomever as "sports fan"
this was greatness
