Giants, my entire team is injured though so we're probably not making the playoffs

Is Jetset the one that likes the Lakers, Phillies and Steelers (with his second favorite being the Patriots)?

Absolutely not.

I like the Lakers, Phillies, and Steelers. I don't like the Patriots, that's Riot who likes them. So I'm not sure where you got that I like them. I don't really care for football tbh but when I watch it's usually a Steelers game. Baseball and Basketball are more of my sports.

I despise the Giants.

We're coming for the NL Crown, count on it.

Damn right, the defending champions. Even though Posey's out for the season, we're make it to the playoffs and shock the world again with our pitching.

Get out.

Your little Cinderella run last season was nice and all, but it's time for grown men to play in the World Series.

#Phillies bitch.

Kind of random to despise the Giants, other than wiping the floor with the Phillies last year what have they done? They've been largely irrelevant before last year, besides Lincecum's 2 Cy Youngs

Jetset · Post #727 » by **Jetset** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:23 am

And that's why I hate them. I felt last year was our year to get back on top and win another title, and I know we could've beaten the Rangers. But the Giants ended that. Plus Brian Wilson's beard is annoying.

bitter about them leaving NY?

Do you guys actually watch entire games of baseball? Like from start to finish?

hermes · Post #730 » by **hermes** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:32 am

haven't in a while, but i have to be doing something else

tough to just sit there and watch all of that

Jetset · Post #731 » by **Jetset** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:35 am

I'll have to have something else to do. Like if I'm at home I'll just flip the channel when the game start to go dry and return later. If I'm at the game I'll just text or surf the web to pass the time through the dull parts. It's a long and tedious sport that's for sure.

Shamizy · Post #732 » by **Shamizy** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:42 am

Yeah, that's why I don't really like baseball. To me personally, it seems like one of those sports you could just read about next day in the paper and not have really missed anything. Unless of course something UNBELIEVABLE happens, but for your typical game, I don't think there's much to see, right?

I tried to watch a game one time, but I couldn't take it after like 12 minutes.

Shamizy · Post #733 » by **Shamizy** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:47 am

Why are there 8 Peanut Butter and 16 Oatmeal Raisin in this box of Chewy Bars? They need to get these #'s reversed.

LaLa · Post #734 » by **LaLa** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 3:49 am

I keep tabs during the season and watch some games when they face the Dodgers or are on ESPN. There's nothing like playoff baseball though. The pitching, strategy everything.

Um, it's just like any other sport--you consume alcohol while watching.

This. Everything gets interesting come playoff time, regular season play just seems like filler compared to it.

I see where you're coming from. There's an occasional steal here and steal there that you could miss but it'd show up in the box score. But there's also great athletic plays made in outfield that the box won't be able to show you. But I can understand that since there's no constant exciting action happening, it could be enough to shy someone away from the sport. Just have something to do whenever you're watching the game, text, web surf, some fans actually go to games and read books. Or just be like TyCobb and get piss drunk and fall on your face diving for a foul ball.

Yeah Quaker needs to get their **** together.

I usually get the variety pack with the Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter & Chocolate Chunk, Oatmeal Raisin, S'mores, and 2 Cookies & Cream.

50 pages until a comm thread is made in my honor 8-)

We'll see if I have another 50 pages of spam left in me.

I'm a huge baseball fan, so i can sit through any game and remain interested lol.

Basketball, Baseball, Hockey.

Then a bunch of sports i dont really give a **** about

Shamizy · Post #739 » by **Shamizy** » Sun Jun 5, 2011 4:10 am

I used to dislike soccer, but after my friends and I sort of went crazy playing this crappy version of Fifa '10 during Calculus class senior year, we got caught up in the World Cup craze. I actually understood the rules and knew like half the players playing.

But as far as baseball goes, I don't really see much happening that I can't just see during highlights later on in the evening. The only sports I'll really sit around and watch are basketball, football and soccer.

That kind of talk will get your 5'9-lay up-attempting-shot sent back to mid-court.
