Terrelle Pryor and I play a game

I'm sort of going all-out with these Fanshots but this might be the best thing to have ever happened to me. Maybe not the best, but it's pretty great.

So if you'd like a tattoo chuckle..here you go

Who cares about winning. Just keep hitting him with that stuff. Hilarious.

Funny or not,

will you guys (some of you) at least admit that you are creepily obsessed? lol.

Oh, let's not play this game again.

We all know how it ends and it got old years ago. I know basketball’s over and we’re running out of things to talk about, but can we go more than a month before we start rehashing the same arguments? Let’s talk about baseball. Baseball’s awesome.

I've always found baseball a tad bit boring. Sometimes exciting, but more often than not, not.

I think you have to really grow up with it.

It’s the only way to build up an endurance to the long games and longer season. I can (and do) watch more baseball in three weeks than most people watch all year, but I get that it would be hard for most people.

my whole family is nuts for baseball (Phillies) and football (duh)

I somehow did not inherit the fondness for baseball. I love to go to a game, drink a beer, etc. But I only watch on TV occasionally. It is just too slow for me.

So maybe its just an individual taste.

Almost everyone in my family watches whenever they can, but we could just be very strange.

no

I know a lot more people who love/are obsessed with baseball than are not. I believe I am a minority.

Really?

Most of the people I know who are obsessed are related to me, and all but one are from New York. I have one Penn State friend who is a hardcore “I Watch Almost Every Game I Possibly Can Because I Really, Really Like This Sport” baseball fan, and whenever he comes into Happy Valley we spend our entire time together talking about starters, cuts, and prospects.

I'm just leaving it to Mister Carlin

In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy’s defensive line.

In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! – I hope I’ll be safe at home!

I do believe you're simplifying the sport, sir.

In baseball we also try to hit the ball really hard. The pitcher tries to throw the ball really hard, and the outfielders are expected to do the same when the opportunity arises. Sometimes an infielder will dive to stop the ball or jump high to catch the ball, and then the announcer will be all “Wow! Great defensive play by What’s His Face!” and the audience will be all “Dammit, I thought for a second that something interesting would happen.”

There is a strategy to it all. It’s just more subtle and much less violent than ScreameyPuncheyTackleBall, so most people don’t notice.

I love Carlin, but remember,

he regurgitated the old park in a driveway and drive in a parkway bit.

Gallagher did that bit, too.

So, he hits some, he misses some.

by MainLion on Mar 28, 2011 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions

I wouldn't really know since I was never a fan of Carlin or Gallagher.

What I do know is that baseball is the sport of sissy New Yorkers and New Englanders who wanted us to lose in 1812.

Harrisburg Senators, Williamsport Crosscutters, State College Spikes, Altoona Curve, etc.

Lots of sissiness in Central PA then.

by ReadingRambler on Mar 29, 2011 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions

I don't deny it.

But it is most popular (Considerably more popular than in Central PA) amongst the same group of jackals who supported the British because their women were getting in bed with British officers in the first war and for “economic reasons” during the second war.

I am, of course, heavily, heavily, generalizing. It would be less of a generalization if I just called baseball boring and the knitting to wrestling’s laser rocket ship drag racing, but hey.

P.S. What do the Altoona Curve (The real one) and baseball have in common? Both were created by people who fell apart in the face of the inevitable advance of modern life.

I'll allow you to make fun of the baseball team,

but I’ll never sit back and let you badmouth what was so important that Hitler (or, more appropriately, his associates) identified it as a primary target during dubya dubya two.

Yes. Sorta.

Although that’s not a perfect example by any means, MainLion could easily have avoided this post by instead stating that the Horseshoe Curve – triumph of railroad engineering, John Thomson’s masterpiece, four track wonder of the world, playground of K4s and Decapods, – was also considered an obvious target during the Civil War and was thus guarded by Union soldiers.

Oh. Oh, that's really gross.

But definitely possible.

You know what some “railfans” call other “railfans” (God help me, I can’t not put quote marks around that word) who are obsessive about their hobby? Foamers. Rule 34 is definitely possible here.

Gross.

I badmouthed the railroads and, specifically speaking, the owners of the railroads.

I love watching Phillies games either live or on TV

I really think it is the most relaxing sport to watch – It was the perfect thing to watch (on mute) while studying for the bar as I could look up every few minutes and still know what is going on.

I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.

by psupride on Mar 29, 2011 8:40 AM EDT up reply actions

I'm about the same.

Unless the game is close or someone does something stupid and I feel obligated to yell about it, I kind of just chill. I sort of just mute all the sports I watch now. Sometimes I freaking hate announcers.

Where would you put him?

I instictively say outfielder, but I can’t really see him enjoying being out there in the middle of nowhere, all alone, for hours on end. He’s a QB. They’re used to being in the middle of the action.

I have a really bad habit of using class time to put together my dream All-Celebrity Baseball Teams. I decided a football player, some DE or LB, would have to pitch, not because of any particular skill, but because I think it would be hilarious if he didn’t like a call and tackled the ump.

Can you blame us for loving when an opposing team's player, who's surrounded or involved in a scandal

(directly or indirectly) does something funny like this? We’ve created memes that have stood the test of time for all of the ridiculously stupid things the kid has said to the press.
