I can't wait. I'm wondering what Detriot is going to do this year?

Anybody that played (little league to high school) still loves the game.

Baseball is very boring to watch on t.v. The only time I enjoy it is when I go to the ballpark in arlington and even then I might watch 2 or 3 innings. :cool:

[01WhiteCobra]

I'm so damn ready.

Didn't they get some badass guys this offseason??

[46Tbird]

I hate the summer ESPN doldrums. You know.. three months of boring-ass highlight reels of the 40 meaningless MBL games played each day, with a sprinkling of Nascar coverage thrown in to really spice it up. BLEH

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Are your days already not boring enough?No, actually, they're not.

[Trip McNeely]

Go Mets!

[Slowhand]

I can't wait, even though the Rangers are charging us out the ass for our season tickets this year!

Goddamn, I love that feeling in April with all of the windows open, and the game on TV around 7.30pm, with that awesome spring smell pouring into the living room, listening to Tom Grieve serenade me with some beautiful commentary.

Are your days already not boring enough?

That's rich coming from the guy who makes threads about hockey games :rolleyes:

That's the truth. I'll never get tired of the game. I miss it now that I don't play anymore. :(

[Strychnine]

I've already taken off the afternoon of April 8. See you bitches there. :cool:

[gip99drop]

There have been a lot of trades all around the league.

A friend and I got a 4 seat package. Lower level, 3rd base side for 17 games, including opening day. :cool:
Orioles, Twins, Astros, A's (2 games), Braves (2 games), Phillies, White Sox, Yankees (2 games), Indians, Red Sox (2 games), Angels (2 games), Devil Rays.

The Rangers may suck ass but it's still fun as hell :D



Oh, and when I said April 3... i did mean April 8.

Where did you guys get your tickets from. I plan on going to more games than I did last year.

[Strychnine]

We got one of the 14 game packages, then added on 3 more games.

http://texas.rangers.mlb.com/tex/ticketing/mini_plans.jsp


4 seats at 17 games, section 16 row 23. Getting the package saved $8 per ticket compared to "at the gate" prices ($42 vs $50) so in the end we saved over $540.

[BLAKE]

Damn Matt.

First I hear that you hate AC/DC, now I find out you're a diehard (yawn) baseball fan?

I think we're gonna have to fight. :(

Shit. I feel like I'm failing people left and right lately! This has not been my month for making people happy. :o


Seriously... you don't like goin' to the ballpark, drinking some cold beer in the middle of summer, relaxing and watching some baseball? We even made sure to get 3rd base side seats to stay out of the sun in the evening.


LOL. Maybe this will make up for it. We got 4 seats instead of 2 so that for every game we could round up a pair of hot whores and take them with us (and make them buy all the beer) :D Oh, and we only live 3 miles from the ballpark.


I think this guy has it right:
Anybody that played (little league to high school) still loves the game.



We can fight if needed. I haven't made my peace with the world yet... but I'll get on it. Don't hurt me too badly Sasquatch :(

[BLAKE]

Sounds like torture. :o


FWIW, I played little league and enjoyed it. Fun to play. Booooooriiiiing to watch.

Oh well, we'll always have hot rods sweetie. ;)

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

You lost any cool points you might have gained for liking baseball when you disliked AC/DC. Shit, man. I thought you were better than that. :(

[Slowhand]

I think this guy has it right

Yes, he does. It's just something that sticks with you.

Anyone who says baseball is "boring" or "too slow" simply has no respect for what is good in this world. Hell, you're probably the same people who find Survivor intriguing. :p

[46Tbird]

Seriously... you don't like goin' to the ballpark, drinking some cold beer in the middle of summer, relaxing and watching some baseball? We even made sure to get 3rd base side seats to stay out of the sun in the evening.Four hours in the baking Arlington afternoon sun, sizzling on the bleachers and drinking $10 beers, stinking of sweat, getting a sunburn, and getting dehydrated? Just to watch the Rangers get their ass kicked?

Yeah.. its a riot.

I'm with Blake, except that AC/DC has some good stuff.

[BLAKE]

I'm with Blake, except that AC/DC has some good stuff.

Well then you're really with me. AC/DC is great!

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

You're fucking un-American fucking faggot fucking communist fuckers if you don't like baseball.

[Slowhand]

You're fucking un-American fucking faggot fucking communist fuckers if you don't like baseball.

You have to keep in mind that one guy in question hasn't missed an episode of Survivor in 9 seasons, and the other...I heard that he's bald.

So naturally, they're commies.

[BLAKE]

You're fucking un-American fucking faggot fucking communist fuckers if you don't like baseball in 1925.

Fixed.


The world has moved on. Let Puerto Rico and Japan have it. The real American past time is football. In 50 years it'll be UFC, lol.

[That_Is_My_El_Camino]

Bald, and gay. Go figure. Before you even say it, fuck you, Danny.

Baseball is such a fucking snoozefest. For your three hours in the sweltering heat, along with fifty bucks, your average game delivers two home runs, a half dozen pop-up flies, and if you're really lucky, a double play in the fifth. The Dot Race is the highlight of the evening. And the players are either overpaid, overhyped jerks or complete no-talent no-name nobodies.

Playing it is fine, I did it in high school. Watching it is the biggest beating fathomable.

It is fun to go with friends though. Gotta be free tickets and dollar hot dog night to get me to go. :D

You saved money...how much did you pay$ 2856 (4 seats x 17 games x $42 a ticket)....you saved money how about this I watch from home for free, don't pay for parking, and get beer for about a $1 a beer vs $5 or 8 or whatever it is at the ball park.

What's worse than 162 games (majority meaningless)



answer spring training games...



I will however attend 1-2 games a year, just for the atmosphere, but usually realize why I only attend those 1-2 games a year and thank God it was a free ticket.

Whatever. You guys go get into some pissing matches about college football or NBA or whatever else you care about. I'll come around in a bit to talk shit.

CFB = 6 home games a year, every game means something, 1 loss and done!

NBA falls into the same lines as MLB, call me when the playoffs get here I MIGHT be slightly interested. :p

It's really a game that takes true a appreciation to really enjoy.

Therefore, I would venture to say that we're on a higher plane of existence due to the fact that we understand, enjoy, and partake in the intracacies of the game.

Way to go! It's not like I didn't play the great game growing up either. I played 8 years. As Danny said, playing and watching: 2 very different things. I'm all up for going out and tossing the ol ball around but going to watch a bunch of steriod'd up pansies at a slow pace for 4 hours, paying 8 bucks for parking 6 dollars a beer, 4 dollars a hot dog, to sit in the hot sweltering texas heat...yeah.

Eh, personally that sounds like a shitton.

Then again, I don't pay for my season tickets. But also, food's really not that bad because every year, they give us 200 or 300 dollars worth of ballpark cash, so I don't pay for food out there either. Spoiled Ass Brats ftw!

And when did you stop playing? I don't think that even at 13 or 14 you can truly respect the game and understand it well enough. The 3 years I played in High School completely changed the way I look at the game.

But regardless, at this point we're at a difference of opinion...you just happen to be wrong :p

I didnt play after I was 8 or 9 and I understand all the intricacies of the game and wouldn't attend more than 2-3 games a year. This is coming from a guy who does radio/TV for high school baseball. It really is that much of a beating going to the games.

but to each his own. Hockey is where it's at:).

8 or 9? isn't that the age they stop using 4 outfielders and only play 9 positions? I guess that would explain why you stopped playing at that age.

No we had 3 OFs and I played first. I, being one of 3 left handed hitters in our Little league, got pegged at just about every plate appearance. Game wasn't fun anymore so I switched to a game where I could hit back and played hockey. Shame you got turned down to play coach-pitch because your dad kept throwing at you.

so you were a pussy even at 8 years old. Can't say I am surprised. My old man knew better than to throw at me, even when I was a kid. Probably why I never played coach pitch. Try again Sarah. Are you sure you didn't quit baseball to join the ballet? Seems more like your style.

[jims93lx]

Damnit, I'm caving, even on the Rangers. Been reading scouting reports, FTL. Probably won't go to many, if any games, but I'll tune in on TV

It was probably how your wife felt everytime you managed to find your way home. A deflated, "here-we-go-again" routine, where I stand at the plate, get beaned in one of the first 2 pitches and walk to first. There was no joy in playing. Just like I'm sure there is no joy in seeing you everyday. Who is Sarah? Veiled cry for companionship?

Trust me I can take a hit, but the fact that I rarely even got to swing at a pitch sucked the fun out of the game for me. So a few years later I switched to announcing:). And trust me I've been hit witrh hockey pucks and soccer balls and other shit going much faster, since. Speaking of, my final soccer game is coming up, you can come watch us play for next to last place!
