lmao...the only people in the sports forum. It's sad but true. I've been gone for a couple of days but I'm back now

ok, for my 1,2 about it...

baseball is an exacting sport, but not an intensive one. in my experience (junior tri-state majors for three seasons, carried two trophies home), training was harder than gaming. becuase when you game, you are rewarded for progress for being in the dugout and cilling out. when you are trainig you are swinging at mopre balls than you see in agame, and sprinting and catching multiple balls on the field.

I am not a big man, and I got a mean swing; hips, angles, southpaw.. I topped the fence a couple. i could drop an 86 on the outfield and pop in over the fence. i never needed to hit a home run ever,... i just had to make a base. that was the key, and it still is,.. set up an assembly line of players to come rolling in. the only reason to deviate from that is to make the crowd excited, or to prove something to the other team.

that being said, i suck at basketball and i am a decent reciever for a back yard game.

r.p. should not make the hall.

and baseball is derived from a girl's form of cricket which is actually more intensive.

the work in baseball is making it watchable.

Yea Raum...training for baseball is pretty intense. At least for my team it is. The game isn't as bad but training is hard. Anyone who takes steroids and shit shouldn't be considered for the Hall. Specially with the numbers RP has

you know what i agree with lost ghost and we had some bad times. baseball is just retarded. i mean the only reason im watching it now is because i never knew how awesome it was to watch A Rod get hit with a baseball. bunch of pussies playing a pussy sport.

red sox got their ass handed to them also. cant wait to see some more pussies get hit with the ball and get juiced.
