4. Just went all the way to page 4 and nothing but baseball....yawn
I guess the problems of the world have been solved......we don't even need to go vote.

I didn't watch the series it was so boring. Last week's play-off games had more drama, better play.

Anyway, I am a Cubs fan and we have gone even longer without a series win. Damn that cursed goat!

7. Pssst
Over here. I'm over in the non-sports watching section of DU. Just ride it out. Or hide all the sports threads. It's a big night I guess. Some kind of big contest or something that is now over, I take it.

Eh. But I don't begrudge 'em. I'll just skip the lounge the next couple of days.

12. 'zat you, boss...?
I once had a supervisor in a really crappy job say whose exact words in 1986, when I asked if she saw any of the previous night's WS game...

I'm sure some of our aging rock stars play a mean game of shuffleboard...I was thinking of forming a rotisserie league!

14. Baseball's a sport
that's best watched in person. Taking it all in, the smell of new-cut grass, the hot-roasted peanuts and ice cold beer. Feeling the breezes caress your face and watching a good pitchers dual makes it all worthwhile. It's not always the best sport to watch on TV. It's more like a chess match than anything else at times.
