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? |
Quote:
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. |

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. |

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

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. |

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. |

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 |
5 games. Looking at the second angle, he's lucky it's only 5. Seeking out the guy, calling him to the rail...

Well, he didn't actually hit anyone, so unsure why we care?

How much salary would you need to take a daily onslaught of strangers talking shit to you while you do your job without retaliating or responding negatively? Just trying to determine CP’s tolerance levels.

I really don’t even see anything wrong with what he did, he stayed calm and the fan deserved way worse. It wasn’t really a punch it looked more like going to swipe off his hat or something.

First off, can adults please stop acting like unhinged morons at sporting events? It takes a real big man to shoot his mouth off when you are separated by a wall and the guy is below you. Also, I don't agree with what AR did, but the F is your problem that you have to have a verbal tirade against opposing players at a MLB game? Makes absolutely no sense to me....

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. |
Quote:
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. |
