Baseball your out!

Posted by Dansstuff

Why do we keep watching sports? What’s the thrill? I’ll tell you, it's hearing the crack of the bat, the whiff of the ball hitting the glove. The ump yells strike three, the crowd booing, starting the wave. Being there is not the same as watching the game on televison, but still I hear in the sports news that players are trying to find the edge, even if it means bending the rules.

Do I care if the best guy on my team is using steroids nope? Is there going to be a light at the end of the tunnel with this mess? Come on. Where is baseball going with the steroid issue? In the end, is baseball ready to wipe the records and start over until another 100 years or so some other issue comes along like the steroids of today? I’m not asking you to like what I say, just have an open mind to one mans opinion.

They're making fun of your title.

Correction: Baseball You're Out. As in "you are", not your.

From my experience, if you want people to pay attention to what you have to say, it helps to start with proper grammar.

Why should users of illegally obtained drugs be given a pass simply because they also happen to be professional baseball players? Especially when they lie about it?

I plan to keep watching. Even with all it's warts, baseball is still a great game, and people will still go. There's nothing quite like the excitement leading up to opening day.

I don't think I could ever turn my back on baseball. After following baseball since 1955 it is too big a part of my life.

Niteowl, I love how you are so passionate for baseball. I don't think I've ever met someone as passionate as you are about anything.

I've practically lived with baseball. Playing it in my backyard with a Pizza hut bat since I was able to swing one (2 years old; Yeah, my mom didn't feed me enough). Been following it since I was 5, looking up stats, memorizing them. I've always been the outcast in Kuwait, and people think I'm a loser.

I'm still going to love baseball forever though, and there's no one that's going to stop from doing that.

As to your article, I'm a Baseball fringer (if that's a word) myself. I gave up on the game when they canceled the Series. I pay a little attention, but don't follow nearly as closely as I used. Still love the game, just not the Majors (as much).

Where is Too Manny at? I know he has something to say about this and how will agree and disagree with this opinion at the same time...

I love basbeall - always will. Cheaters are cowards - always will be. Cheating is NOT exclusive to baseball - never was.


Stop blaming baseball for your lack of perspective. Go hate people, not the games they ruin.

Does that suffice, Falc? (I normally wouldn't have bothered to respond to this)

Thank you Manny. I was trying to force you into a small preview of something else (you know what I mean), but alas, I am satisfied...

I guess I should hate football because of arrests and drug charges.

I guess I should hate soccer and basketball because they're fixing games.

The Olympics we know is fixed.

Golfers are on 'roids now.


I have confirmed the Spelling Bee is the only clean sport around.

Baseball's a rubbish game, compared to cricket. Maybe you should refocus your energies on that. :)

I'll go ahead and give you a plus (even though I disagree) in a meager attempt to counter all the minuses you are about to get bombarded with.

Why do you say that, Alex? What makes cricket far more superior than baseball? Must be the flat bat. DAMMIT!

I guess that leaves cricket and croquet as the only sports with no steroids users and also badminton.

No, cricket's out. There have been allegations in badminton. And there is something called eXtreme croquet, which is described as "croquet on steroids". Not sure if that counts...yet.

I am not saying to get rid of baseball, just Clean it up. There is more to life then worrying about spending our tax money on court costs over 2 or 3 players who claim they did not use,and only get probation or 2-3 years in prison.I love the game.Especialy being there. The $4.00 Hot dog,$3.00 pop knowing you spent your $500.00 pay check at the game {priceless}.
