Play Ball!

[futilitarian_]

The crack of the bat, the sound of mucus gliding through the air only to clang against the scorching blacktop and the taste of stale Cracker Jack nestled between your teeth can only mean one thing: run-on sentences...And that you've been temporarily distracted from that pigeon ten yards up on the bleachers attempting to shit directly onto your

Ah baseball. One of the only pasttimes where it can be heard. "HEY! WHO WANTED THE SMALL BEER!? YEA. YOUR LOAN'S BEEN APPROVED!"

[futilitarian_]

Haha, they really ought to make a lendingtree.com commercial about that.

I don't see how anyone can find baseball interesting...
"A LINE DRIVE UP THE 3RD BASE LINE, OH THE GUY GOT IT!! HOLY SHIT, HE'S THROWING THE BALL TO THE FIRST BASEMAN!!! Jesus, Jim, that guy nearly got halfway to first base."

I'd rather watch ping pong...and I'm not even asian!

[tame_the_cunt]

Seriously. I wouldn't go to a baseball game if it was free. Unless, maybe I was accompanied by acid or something, that way I could be entertained. Actually, that's a good idea.

Baseball is just longing to take over the sporting world. Right now, it's trying to pull attention away from basketball and the all-important March Madness, and then like you said it runs into football on the other end.

How selfish...

that last picture was the coolest thing ever to happen in baseball.

old man attacks kickass brown pitcher.
brown pitcher beats the shit out of old man.
benches clear and chaos ensues.
4 innings later, bullpen manager attacks groundskeeper.
lawsuit is filed.

a lot of blood was spilt on the diamond that day.

OHHH and lest us not forget the mike piazza/roger clemens fiasco!

Bullpen manager? I think what happened was Jeff Nelson of the Yankees had a confrontation with a Red Sox groundskeeper and then Rightfielder Karim Garcia hops the fence and gets into it. Still the best baseball game ever.

And Piazza is a fag. Not just for the Pert Plus commercials but because he didn't face Roger like a man.

[bobbola]

i could have sworn a bullpen manager was involved...

but still though. still.

[shallowsheila]

also because Sam Champion is his roomate

[inyagrrl]

But what does pastime mean anyway? And why doesn't it have two "t"s?
Seriously. What the fuck is up with that? I think it must be one of the greatest etymological mysteries[mistakes] ever.
