I did find that Jamaal Charles provided value, pure entertainment value which is what sports are for, and I disagree that since he never got a Super Bowl payout that his presence in the organization was a "waste of time".

I guess he was the only thing worth watching on the Chiefs for a while, I'll agree with you there. But to have the best RB in franchise history during the worst stretch in franchise history is definitely a waste of talent.

I don't disagree- if it was about awarding the two best teams from a sport in a regular season, everything would be like MLB was back in the day when the AL and NL winner would make the WS without any other teams competing for a title. But we don't live in that world anymore and no one gives a shit that the 2001 Mariners or 2007 Patriots had great regular seasons without winning a title.

Titles are all that matter.

I understand your viewpoint but I disagree. I don't think the last game of the season as contrived by owners and TV networks incentivized to maximize income are necessarily the most important games. I never have the money to go to the big championship game anyway, so it means particularly little to me, though I do have the money to see some games along the way.

Stop and smell the roses some time along the way, man. The ultimate place we all go to is the grave. Enjoy the moment.

It's pretty rich to have a Rams fan lecturing me, a Chiefs fan, about the postseason. You're running your head into a brick wall, friend.

But baseball is fundamentally NOT a tournament sport. You can put on a tournament after the 162 games but you'll never convince me that the team that was the best after 162 games got "exposed" in a 3 game postseason series.

Do you just buy into any hype that your television tells you about? Rams fan?

I need to change my username at this point as it's no longer accurate.

And no, I do not buy the hype of everything. I know the postseason is flawed and realistically the regular season and postseason should be shortened.

But in a team sport, acting as if not winning a title isn't failure, is shortsighted.

Vladimir_Kyrilytch 04-01-2023 07:34 PM

Nah, 2002 was it. That was the year every A's fan told me how great the A's were. That was the year that in September, I told my summer job that I won't be able to work next week cause I'm going to Oakland to watch the Angels play the A's. My boss said she would fire me if I didn't come back into work, but she didn't realize I was only there to make beer money for my next term at Oregon State University. Beer isn't free.

That lady thought I was trying to make a career out of Subway sandwich making and that she'd put my career to a stop if I went to Oakland. Poor lady.

So there I was, in a car with my buddies, headed to Oakland. We had good seats. There were Raiders fans all around us. Near the end of the game, an Angel victory over the A's that Troy Percival closed out with 100 mph fastballs that Eric Chavez had no chance against, some A's fan that was also a Raiders fan called me out.

"HEY ANGELS FAN, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WON A WORLD SERIES?", he said.

"THIS ****ING YEAR, BITCH" was my response. It was 2002. The Angels did win the World Series that year. The A's would have to settle for their Michael Lewis book and Bradd Pitt. I was right all along.

As I always am.

The baseball playoffs are meaningless to me as an Angels fan and a fan of baseball as its played in the US. I don't care about the donkament. The donkament has different rules that don't apply to regular games of baseball, such as in the donkament, you get so many off-days, you only need two starting pitchers. That's not baseball. In baseball, you need a 5-man rotation at minimum (the Angels, to accommodate Ohtani, use a 6-man rotation).

You're the one that focuses so much on donkaments. It's fine for football but it doesn't fit baseball at all. I don't even watch the baseball postseason. When the fantasy baseball season ends, so does baseball to your boy VK.

I liked it. I wont tell you it was a bad movie. It did make sabermetrics seem really dumb.

But best ever? Rookie of the Year about the kid that becomes a star pitcher for the Cubs after his broken arm heals weird, that's number one.

Number two is an independent film called Sugar, about a Cuban trying to make the pros.

Number three is Field of Dreams.

So Moneyball is four at best. That's high praise cause we can't forget The Natural.

In fact, Moneyball is 5 bro. You cant rank it higher than the Natural. A strong 5 though for sure.

Those are all great movies as well. I'd add The Natural, For Love of the Game, and The Rookie. Now that I think about it seems there was a lot of great Baseball films.

But obviously your opinion is bias when it comes to rating Moneyball :p.

Worst decision? Naming the team “The the angels angels”

I think the Angels Angels is a cool name. Los Angeles means of the Angels, literally paying homage to Angelic biblical Angels which are Godly things that are 25 feet tall and sound like thunder when they talk and their feet are like burnished bronze. They arent women with wings like the cartoons. The biblical version of an Angel is a scary thing indeed.

Of the Angels Dodgers is a worse name by far. A dodger refers to a Trolley Dodger, which refers to trolleys, a form of public transportation that replaced horses in New York. Evidently when trolleys were first introduced in Brooklyn, people were so unused to these things being in the streets cause they were huge machines, not horses. A horse won't run into you if it can help it cause it has eyes and a brain, so it will walk around you. A trolley has no eyes and thus will run you over. A lot of deaths ensued from dumb New Yorkers in this manner. So it was common practice to step out onto the street and then remember these new trolley things dont move, and then have to "dodge" the trolley to avoid getting run over by it. I don't care what year it was, that proves how stupid New yorkers are. Theres your history of the Dodgers, a very local New York reference that makes no sense in sprawling LA whatsoever.

Aint no trollies in LA at all. Very few lakes for that matter also.

Not all baseball fans care about that. The beauty of baseball is in the game itself. When I go to an Angels game, and the Angels win cause Mike Trout hit a 3 run homer, I don't make a point to tell my kids that this was all meaningless cause come fall, there is a good chance that the Angels won't fare well in the tournament.

Me and my kids enjoy the win that we saw, and we enjoy the homer that Mike Trout hit. You're easily pursuaded to nonsense if you think that was a "waste of time" because come the fall, when the donkament started, the Angels didn't win the donkament. My kids on that night when I took them to an Angel game to see Mike Trout and Ohtani play? They weren't sweating 5 months in the future about the donkament. That's shit that football fans that have only a passing familiarity with baseball would say. Such as yourself, DJLN.

Oh you've got some kids do you?

He was so money, pepe. Nice to see a fellow baseball connoisseur knows about the best of em. GA. He won the home run derby and all-star MVP in the same weekend.

Sabermoocians claim that clutch hitting isnt a thing. But GA was clutch. I was never more confident in a run when he was at bat with a man on second and two outs. Even Mike Trout would work a walk there. GA would gap a double and look bored doing it.

I say a lot of things Mr. Howard the Duck. I'm on record here as both being an astronaut and a burger flipper at McD's. Of course I have kids and it wasn't that hard to find a sexual partner when internet dating became a thing. Nobody knows what I'm really all about. Bearcat might but thats a post of yesteryear and he didnt call me out and I dont think anyone really noticed. Maybe I teach history at a community college but out of the boredom of that life I make up things online like I'm crazy, just to cosplay as a wild person. I would do that. If anybody would do that, it would be me. I'm prescibed lithium after all. 1500mg a day, 900mg in the morning, 600mg at night. That's an aggressive but plausible dosage for the truly insane. As it goes.

A vast majority of MLB games are tame and family friendly.

From my experience, the New York fans, both Mets and Yankees, can be trashy, especially if you sit in the cheap seats.

I was pleasantly surprised that Philadelphia had a mellow crowd when I attended but I'm sure it's different in the postseason or if the Phillies playing the Mets.

The worst game to attend in baseball is Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres

Hey man I'm not disagreeing here but when you see a player take a swipe at fan its going to cause a suspension unless the fan is on the field.

I think its kind of funny but in the end Rendon comes out looking like an idiot here. The fan was likely a moron but he can now talk shit about it.

Oh, I'm not saying that Rendon shouldn't get suspended. At the end of the day, this is about optics, and Rendon did enough to get pinched, whether I agree with it or not.

But I don't blame him either. I blame the dipshit drunk. Were I commish, yeah I'd suspend Rendon. But I'd also perma-ban the drunk.
