The H9 and DD500 don't have a mode for it yet.

Mets should be ok. They have some holes and durability concerns. NL east is weird though and some teams there always under perform (Nationals...)

I broke my hand in a door once and couldn't play baseball...I was hitting like 700 or 800 or something so I ripped my cast off and tried to get in the game. I got in trouble. Haha.

Chased a coach down with a baseball bat when I was 11. Didn't like the asshole.

They refused to let me pitch because I threw to hard so I played short...Then a parent complained when I bruised her kids hand on a throw to first...I told his mom to teach the kid how to catch. I played first after that.

You passed out from a tender ankle?

It got shot out of a lawnmower and knocked me square off my feet because I wasn't expecting it.

:lol:

I loved playing soccer/football (15 years into college), but can't watch it. Football American-style (though it's in my blood) is about the most tedious to watch on TV...Talk about pushing commercials and adding way too many rules (used to like it a lot). Basketball is ok sometimes and fun to pick up and play.

Hockey is the other one I like, especially in person. Don't follow it too close though.

Baseball is still tops. I get that it ain't for everyone.


Trout is the longest tenured Angel I think (with Weaver a Padre for a few months). Sad that the best player is on such a stagnant team...I have hope though. Glad Dipoto is going to take Seattle down a road toward further ruin and the A's/Billy haven't lucked into a Donaldson in a while. Texas will always choke. Houston might be good, but I think their pitching will falter.

Dude, NCAA is fucking goooood! I gave up on NFL, too annoying indeed.

Another one I really love to watch is tennis, even davis cup.... Play? Well, everything.

Yea, I love tennis...The coverage has been harder to catch lately. Used to love watching Chang play...That era (Courier, Sampras, etc) was awesome.

NCAA is far superior to NFL, I agree. Just haven't been able to really sit down and watch like it do with baseball.

It's certainly not my place to censure you for plagiarizing DOS' 2015 jokes, but for someone like you who's trying to farm e-cred, you might want to dig the corn out of your own shit next time.

Sorry to hear you dislike me so much.

Richards vs. Cotton tonight. I haven't seen Cotton pitch, but his limited stat line looks good. Richards is inconsistent, but I think his fastball is dominant when on....He kinda gets into a mode of frustration when getting squeezed or misses some spots. Should be a good game.

I think the Phillies suck again this year, the entire city is in a damn rebuild state.

Baseball falls pretty down on my list of sports I enjoy. Hockey is always king but after that I don't know. Soccer would be better without flopping and I'm starting to get to the point where I couldn't give a shit about football. Baseball just can't keep me engaged like I wish it could.

Baseball manga though? Now we're fuckin' talkin.

Phillies could surprise...I've heard some good things about a few of their younger players. Probably just going to play spoiler for someone though (which is cool). They'll probably get Trout in a few years haha.

Hockey is a blast live! Used to love going to minor league hockey games (don't know if that's what their called though).
