    I mean, I was over at my parent's house mowing their front lawn and saw a truck with not one, but two confederate flags flying on it going by. If that doesn't sell you on KFalls, idk what does.

    Haniger is I believe one of if not the most clutch player in baseball....it's not his numbers as much as when he gets the RBI or throws out the tying run at the plate in extra innings...dude is for real

    No doubt he is for real. And his throw from the right field corner to 2nd was much more impressive than the one in TB.. that was more a baserunning blunder in the bottom of the 9th than it was a great throw, IMO.

    Ah crap! I always thought that meant Huge Sausage. All these years, my self-esteem has been based on a lie.

    Totally agree. I’d be cool with this, cause I could make an extra 50K a summer, but how boring!!!!! It’s just an unwatchable activity. How people get pumped up for a baseball game the same you would for a basketball or football game is just behind me. But it is America’s past time right?

    You’ve obviously never watched a SF Giants game at AT&T Stadium, playoffs or otherwise. Or attended a World Series victory parade. Shit gets real there. No freakin’ difference whatsoever compared to the other sports you mentioned. It’s all about what you’re into. But I get what you’re saying because that’s exactly how I feel about pro football. I’d rather watch paint dry......

    Football and Baseball are very similar in a lot of ways.

    The only difference is that a football game for your team only plays once a week, so it gives the illusion that it means more. But the sports play the same (one play per "pitch" or "down", stoppages in between.)

    The best thing about baseball is you have no clock.

    It's not surprising baseball is slowing down in the age of impatience, though. Really casts a light on society.

    At least in baseball the pitcher doesn't have to huddle before each pitch...receive the signal from a guy up in a booth and call time out when he see's the defense...football is like watching paint dry....takes 20 minutes to run a 3 sec play...yellow flags every other play...15 yard penalty! Repeat 3rd down...never seen a baseball player spike a ball or take a knee for a play either

    I've seen a player throw the ball feet away from where he's supposed to because the teams afraid of who's at bat. I've seen a pitcher and a batter call "timeouts" and take 30 seconds for a 1 second pitch where nothing happens. At least in football, something happens every play and no one is standing around waiting for something to happen.

    You can pick apart and dumb-down any sport in the manner you have.

    or coach or gm...etc....president...although when something is dumb and you point it out, it doesn't mean you're dumbing it down.
