Hey all!
New to this shantytown...
thought I share some thoughts on Baseball

A bunch of steroid abused millionaires hittin a ball with a stick keeps showing up as I puruse through the nightly lineup.
America's game is in ruins in my house.
Can't catch the drift.

I'll hockey until it's done and wait for America's real fanatical sport starts back up...

Sean

What sport would that be?

The chickens are comin' home to roost, Bobby Bousche. You'll reap the fruit of your selfish ways! You gonna lose all your fancy foosball games and you're gonna fail your big exam...because school is... Bobby: The devil! Mama: Huh! Bobby: Everything is the devil to you, MAMA! Well, I like school! And I like football! And I'm gonna keep doin' 'em both, cuz they make me feel good!...And by the way Mama, Alligators are ornery, cuz their medulla oblongata!......And I like Vicky, and she likes me back! And she showed me her boobies and I like them too!

By the way - like the Zappa pic's - seen him twice back in the day

Baseball is America's game. You're fooling yourself if you think Football is not run amuck w/ steroids. The DH sucks! Yes, Zappa ROCKS! If you're actually interested I can send you a couple of links to all Zappa streaming all the time.

George Carlin's spin on Baseball vs. Football

"Baseball is a nineteenth-century pastoral game.
Football is a twentieth-century technological struggle.

Baseball is played on a diamond, in a park. The baseball park!
Football is played on a GRIDIRON, in a STADIUM, sometimes called SOLDIER FIELD or WAR MEMORIAL STADIUM.

Baseball begins in the spring, the season of new life.
Football begins in the fall, when everything is dying.

In football you wear a helmet
In baseball you wear a cap.

Football is concerned with downs. "What down is it?
Baseball is concerned with ups. "Who's up? Are you up? I'm not up! He's up!"

In football you recieve a penalty.
In baseball you make an error.

In football the specialist comes in to kick.
In baseball the specialist comes in to relieve somebody.

Football has hitting, clipping, spearing, piling on, personal fouls, late hitting, and unnecessary roughness.
Baseball has the sacrifice.

Football is played in any kind of weather: Rain, snow, sleet, hail, fog...can't see the game, don't know if there is a game going on; mud on the field...can't read the uniforms, can't read the yard markers, the struggle will continue!
In baseball if it rains, we don't go out to play. "I can't go out! It's raining out!"

Baseball has the seventh-inning stretch.
Football has the two-minute warning

Baseball has no time limit: "We don't know when it's gonna end!"
Football is rigidly timed, and it will end "even if we have to go to sudden death."

In baseball, during the game, in the stands, there's kind of a picnic feeling. Emotions may run high or low, but there's not that much unpleasantness.
In football, during the game in the stands, you can be sure that at least twenty-seven times you were perfectly capable of taking the life of a fellow human being

In football, the object is for the quarterback, otherwise known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his recievers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use the 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!"

And yes I know they all do steroids...
It's just that baseball is such a wimpy game

The hardest thing in sport is to hit a moving round ball with a round bat, squarely.
