    I love football but I LOVE baseball. I don't care if it's spring training or playoffs, I'm watching it. I just wish I lived in a city with a team...
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    I find all baseball boring. Well...all the major pro sports really, but baseball is the worst.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    You sound like the type of fan that gives Philly a bad name.

    I don't think the baseball playoffs are boring at all. I try to watch every game. October is my favorite month of the year. Weather down here finally cooling off. NFL in full swing. NHL getting started. Baseball at its best.

    Now, a mid August game between the Rangers and the Royals? That's boring.

    I could care less if no one other than myself watch the World Series - as long as the Phils are there. They could play it on the fucking moon. I could really give a shit about anyone else except for those in the Philly area. A title is a title is a fucking title.

    Are you all going to burn the city down when Philly finally gets rid of that monkey on it's back? ;)

    I am actually enjoying this year more than I have the past decade or so. I like the fact that there are some different teams in it and that NONE of them are the Yankees, Braves(and they are my fav team) Mets, or Cards. Boston is there, but about to be bounced. Cubs would have been fun to watch make a better run, or ATLEAST get there... I think the ratings are prob not the best, and the WS will be rated low, but myself...I am REALLY diggin' it this year. GO RAYS!!! GOOD STORY imho.....:)

    It'll be a good world series I think.


    this world series? does it have other teams from all around the world? nope? call it the fucking US series or something then!!! ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    If your neighbors to the south didn't exclude baseball from their Olympics, then we might let your team into the league. No respect for the round ball over there damnit!!

    Yeah but they never seem to pass the 'drug and alcohol and deep-fried mars bar test'. Shame on them!

    On topic, baseball is boring whatever way you want to swing it (See what I did there?) It's the cool man's cricket, which is.... yeah, exactly.
