Seriously then, why would you suppose the sport of baseball needs 162 games to raise the cream when the other sports require at most half that?
I don't suppose. They don't need 162. Who claimed that?

All due respect, Mike Trout seems like he could be pretty good protection, no?

Yeah look who's been protecting Trout since his rookie year. Now go look at who's been protecting #5.


He could be doing things Better. I tell him every chance I get to go look at Bonds at 37. Look at all the walks. The patience at the Plate. Albert wants to hit HRs and go down as one of the greats, but he's forgotten a who he was... He was Great hitter and now he thinks he has to hit HRs. Seeing 1 good pitch per AB? Pitchers don't need to pitch to him. Look who has been hitting behind him

Yeah bro add your first kid to that big 4-0 too. Wouldn't have it any other way. Still feel and act 20 :kissass:

Where do u work in MO?

I'm adding my THIRD kid in two weeks. God help me.

I live in northeast Ohio, but work for a group out of MO. Forgive me, but because of my irreverent nature on here, I won't say who or where that group is. But I do fly into StL four or five times a year and will likely be at the cards opening day next year.

What does it mean!?!

It means they're champs.

Who cares who was "best"? If you don't win the tourney, you ain't the best.

For real, how the hell is there 10 pages on this in 12 hours?

Holy shitballs, Champ. Hope you're getting the old snippity snip thereafter. I had #3 at forty and then had the plumbing rerouted.

Then you feel the length of baseball's regular season is redundant?
You argue like a millennial.
It's long enough. That's all that matters.
In any sport, a season has to challenge endurance, or else it's just a game.
Baseball has made sure to make their season long enough. And not so long as to make endurance the overwhelming aspect.

Outside that, it has nothing to do with the argument at hand.
A seven game series is enough of a length to be comfortable with calling the winner the 'better' team.

FIVE would be too short.

Seven makes sure your ace gets a couple of starts and also that you're lesser pitchers have to pitch. It lets your batters break out of a mini slump. Etc. Seven is long enough.

Yeah, I was hoping to have Mrs Redfoot's plumbing rerouted during the C-section, but her asshole doc advised against it. Said it should be mine. What if I lose my affable nature?

Im no expert here, or anything.

But I don't think its the Proctologist who should be making these decisions.

It's really no big deal. I talked baseball with my guy, but didn't tell him I was a Giants fan until after. I had it done in Pasadena, so I didn't want to tempt fate with a Dodger fan with my nuts in his hands. Just get a bottle of bourbon and bag of frozen peas and settle in for the weekend.

Would Nine games and lefties being required to step off before they throw to first be too much?

Ha! Buddy of mine is a urologist. Says, "dude, it's no big deal. Let's just get it done." I think he just wants to touch my balls.

That's exactly what he's doing.

Id live stream the entire thing on FaceBook, just in case of funny bidness.

Ha!

No shit, Mrs Redfoot's OBGYN is a UofM fan and I think that's why he fucks with me. I've decided that when he hands me my kid in a couple weeks, I'm going to hold her and lovingly sing to her:
