Re: Baseball Playoff Game - There Are Too Many MORONS In This Country

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

The guy in the front row, reaches over and grabs a ball that's a Fair ball in play. Automatic ground rule double, runner scores, no chance for an out at 2nd.

All so he can get a baseball. What A Frickin' MORON.

1. Tigers will lose to the Mets in the World Series

You read it here first.

[Radical Activist]

2. Hardly. Cards win it all.

They're due.

[Chan790]

3. They're the Cards.

They had their chance and blew it. They don't deserve to win it until after the Cubs do.

[Radical Activist]

4. The Cards have won the Series so many times since the cubs...

as a Cards fan, I'm not willing to wait another 100 years before the Cubs finally win it again.

[MrScorpio]

16. The Tigers Beat the Cards Before

And they'll beat them again

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

12. From your lips to God's ears

But my Mets are in trouble. I hope they can get past the Cards.

[driver8]

15. If the Mets keep playing like they played today, they'll be watching

The World Series at home.

5. Shades of Steve Bartman, Wrigley Field, October 2003.

Haven't watched a Cubs game since that night. Too, too painful.

Even though I am a lifelong Cub fan, I hope that St. Louis beat the Mets. I intensely dislike the Cardinals, but the Mets, I loathe....:puke:

[Chan790]

6. Interesting

I was always led to believe that the Cubs/Cards rivalry was no less passionate or intense than Red Sox/Yanks, just a little more genteel and civilized.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

7. The summer of 1969, that should explain why I loathe the Mets.....

[Presidentcokedupfratboy]

13. It's not our fault

The Cubbies collapsed and the Mets came on in 1969....

[vickitulsa]

10. "Genteel"?? "Civil"?

Cubs and Cards rivalry?!?

Hardly! :rofl:

Seriesly, though (as all thoughts right now should be series since we're about to have a WORLD Series), I think all the "hatin'" has grown plumb out of hand these days!

My house when I grew up was full of sports fanatics -- football, basketball (my brother played in HS and was GOOD), all the "good old Amurkin" team sports. Mom and Dad always chose rival teams and did more cheering for the opponent of each other's favorite than for the team they LIKED! :rofl: It was a madhouse, and I musta been 8 or 10 years old before I realized they weren't really THAT seriesly angry and probably would NOT kill each other over these games.... ;)

On rare occasion the taunting and arguing over plays or calls by refs got out of hand though, and that's not good.

They seemed like life-or-death affairs to me as a kid, all the shoutin' and fightin' and stuff went on in MY house over sports.

So now as an old lady I prefer "civilized" sports and especially civilized FANS! :D

I get a littl crazy sometimes too, but with FUN, not with anger or hate. Although I sure don't like them damn YANKEES! Hah!

I'm actually rooting for both the Tigers AND the A's, did in the last series for each of them, now I'm feeling sorry for the A's (and wonder what happened to 'em) while I still celebrate the Tigers' great wins.

That ball grabbin' shit, though -- THAT'S GOTTA STOP!

WHEN will the fans LEARN?!?!?!?!

Fortunate enough to get to actually ATTEND a live major league baseball game -- post-season no less! -- and don't know how to behave when millions of people are watchin' ya!...........................

Big fans who LOVE their team so much but then will grab a ball that coulda been caught or at least played -- hurting your own team ... now that's just, well, someone said it earlier -- STUPID!

I'm thinking maybe he was really an A's fan, or maybe a Mets or Cards fan even, who wanted the A's to win this series? Hard to say. Old fella though -- and he looked guilty as sin when he had snatched that ball up out of play, don't y'all think?

HE KNEW, at least immediately after he did it, that he should NOT HAVE DONE THAT.

I just hope that that one incident doesn't turn out to affect the entire direction things go afterward, but it would be hard to make that case in this instance, I believe.

That Cubs fiasco, the Bartman thing, man that was BIG! I almost cried out loud the minute he caught that sucker... :cry:


Now I'm having a hard time watching these late innings, with the score tied. Too nerve-wracking! Thought I'd check in at DU. THAT always makes me smile, if I go to the right places here or click on the right threads! Humor is one of the saving graces of my fellow DU members, after all. :party: :applause:

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. I support the death penalty in such cases

Seriesly. Kill 'em right then and there.

Then bury 'em beneath the pitcher's mound in the yard of the club they hate most.

Justice. :thumbsup:

[petronius]

11. I wouldn't say death, but I've always felt that there are certain

circumstances in which athletes should be allowed to enter the stands and kick the crap out of 'fans.' This would include:

• Anything that interferes with play,
• insults to mother, sister, or children,
• racial epithets, and
• throwing any object from the stands.

[ChoralScholar]

17. It wouldn't work

The pitchers mound at Kansas City would be 30 feet off the ground.

[Bill McBlueState]

9. Reds fan

Did you notice the dumbass in question was wearing a Reds cap and jacket? I don't understand these people who show up at baseball games wearing all their crap for a team that's not in the stadium. You see them at every game.

[bridgit]

14. agreed, he should be made to catch a whole inning without a mit...

face, chin, or chest guard :thumbsup:
