So anyone here likes Baseball?

tell that to Dontrelle Willis. Or any of the braves starters. They aren't exactly batting champs, but they compete against each other to see who gets the most hits, lays down the most sacrifice bunts, etc.

Honestly there's no point arguing about whether or not pitchers should hit. The two leagues just have different rules, and there's honestly nothing BETTER about either of the two. It's just done differently. I can understand why AL fans want a DH, and I can understand why NL fans think the pitcher should hit.

[eestlinc]

except that the DH was just some crap the AL made up 30 years ago to keep their aging sluggers who can't run and are too lazy to keep up on their fielding. It's not like the DH has existed since the beginning of time. I bet David Ortiz would play 1st base just fine if he were forced to actually do it, and if you can't and don't get up and swing a bat then you aren't a baseball player.

DHs make good money so I don't think the position is going anywhere. I like it because it gives the leagues their own look. I also like hitting and with the pitcher ninth that pretty much makes for 2/9 at bats boring (since the number 8 hitter is usually pitched around). On the other hand, seeing pinch hitters and playing small ball in the later innings is quite exciting. So both have their strong points.

I like to watch baseball because baseball is a fun sport.

When I watch baseball I like to eat hotdogs and hamburgers and bratwurst, but not all at once.

I like the Braves and I like the Red Sox but I only liked them for forever because I always liked the underdog, but now I have a reason to like them because Curt Schilling was the man for just a little while. At least I thought so.

Also, baseball is fun to play sometimes.

Postseason begins tomorrow. I'm scared

[Del Murder]

I hope the White Sox don't win. I don't think they're very good or exciting. The Padres are also not very good. They both need early exits.

[eestlinc]

go Braves.

[XxSephirothxX]

I second that, though I don't care about baseball much anymore.

[Crossblades]

I hope Chicago beats Boston. I don't want another Yankees vs. Red Sox war for the 3rd straight year

[Sasquatch]

I don't really care about this year. I'd like to see the White Sux and the Cardinals both get knocked out...and of course I'd like to see the Braves take it, but we all know that's not going to happen. I bet they look forward to making it into the postseason so they can relax and start losing.
