Instant replay in baseball=travesty

by Sharky on Aug 26, 2008 11:09 PM CDT

Now we can get this:

"Oh wow, spectactular game ending home run..or is it? Hold up, the umps are going to take a look at it.."

Like we dont get enough of that shit in football...

I'm sure we all enjoyed the last Cowboys game, of incessent delays for challenges and considering challenges and disecting for the 8 millionth time "what exactly constitues possesion of the football" inanity in the last two minutes of a meaningless preseason game.

I thought you quit watching baseball?

Well yeah

But just saying.

I see the Rangers attendance is down again, looks like I’m not alone.

And 5 games under with a terrible manager, I dont see any “progress” either.

Hilary's speech at the DNC was rather moving.

It made me move my bowels.

Nope

We are going double or nothing McCain beats Obama.

And obviously, I’m winning that.

You sure?

Your boys at Fox News don’t think so.

Haha Barack Roll

I found that way before any of you guys, a long time ago.

I was definitely first on that.

Probably Romney

McCain has pissed off conservatives enough just by being himself. Karl Rove said an election is always about the respective party bases. Romney might help win Michigan, whos importance is absolutely ginormous.

But stop introducing politics in my replay thread!

this thread is pretty boring otherwise

Or Tim Pawlenty

I’m new to Pawlenty but he seems pretty great. He would also help give McCain a chance to take Minnesota and it’s 10 EV’s. Similar to how valuable Romney would be to getting Michigans 17 ev’s. That’s where Obama struck out in my opinion. Not getting Kaine to help with Virginia (since he wasnt going to take HRC anyway).

Safe white guys, that’s what McCain needs, dont get cute.

I'm sitting here laughing out loud in my office

That post made me laugh.

by Adam J. Morris on Aug 27, 2008 12:21 PM CDT up 0 recs

wait. is that true?

I’m all for it – if you have finally come to understand what double or nothing means.

One more time:

if I win: I get $200
if you win: nobody owes anybody anything (the nothing part).

correct?

I’m not nearly as confident about this bet but I’ll go ahead and make it. Republicans can laugh it up – they should be in the worst position ever and yet the race is still going to be close. However, I think Democrats still take this one.

Its a bet then

Yep, unless the polls are showing a significant Obama bias (which they probably are) I admit it’s an incredibly close race and will be very difficult for McCain to win.

It basically all comes down to Michigan.

Anyways, replay sucks

Gammons said the umps are worried about this, next it moves to the infield..

Yep, next every catch that might be a trap, every bang bang play at first, will be subject to replay eventually. And then they’ll go for balls and strikes next. What a travesty. Actually I cant see them doing balls and strikes, but everything else I bet they will.

And we’ll have the endless uncertainty that exists anywhere replay is used..hmm, are they gonna replay that or not? Quick, everybody stand around and look indecisive about whether to continue play or not after every close play..

When you're not getting your ignorant xenophobe on you're just boring

Stick to spewing ignorance flavored vitriol. At least that Sharky is interesting. This one bores me while adding absolutely nothing useful to the conversation.

Snore

This is your worst rant yet Bill Jones. I’m sure it will somehow get to 500+ posts anyways.

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

Not even rec-worthy

and normally Sharky is an autorec.

"Oh well, McCain is pretty communist anyway, so not like they had a lot to lose. we can be 70% communist with McCain, 90% with HRC. or 100% communist with Obama, they probably figured it was worth the gamble for the extra 10% since they cant "lose" anyway."-Sharky
