The racing was good.

 

I just read that on TT. Unfortunately Mongo's right, but the guys still a douche. The comments below the article don't help anything from a public perspective.

 

that was a sweet race, this guy sucks

 

I thought it was part of journalism to get the facts.

Pretty much it reads to me this guy is ranting about there not being enough baseball, and that the stadium got a supercross event to make some money.

I like how he references Harley's the whole time..TOOL!

 

Another Dipshit Baseball Fan thats all....

 

It's not journalism, it's an opinion piece, which means it's HIS opinion. He's even listed as a columnist, not reporter. I'm not much of a baseball fan but I do know that maintaining a baseball field is a lot different than a football field, it is considered an art to some. And to many baseball fans it isn't just grass and dirt, especially the pitcher's mound......

 

Whats hilarious is that baseball players spend 50% of the game sitting on a bench and the other 40% waiting for a ball to come towards them. Then you have the pitcher, who is doing some amazing feat of athleticism to pitch on "only 2 days rest".

Just ignorance. Take the most fit baseball player and compare them against Dungey or Stewart. Do some tests and see who is really an athlete.

Baseball is no longer "America's pastime"....the NFL took over a while ago

 

Wonder how the attendance was? Better than a ball game?

 

My point exactly... I havent been to a Game since 94... Screw em all.. Also the NFL isnt too far behind...

 

That shouldn't be too difficult, seems like I see quite a few fat ass baseball players. Baseball and football bore me to tears. The fanaticism associated with the people that make it their life freaks me out. But I'm no better with being obsessed with motorcycle racing.:up:

 

As a life-long baseball fan, Dodger fan (and former long time season ticket holder) I can tell you this is nothing but a pencil-pushing baseball geek bitching about nothing.

There are millions of baseball purists out there who get their panties in a bunch whenever change comes about. I know because I'm one of them, except I don't wear panties.

You'd be hearing much more grumbling from golf fans if, say, they held a Supercross event at Pebble Beach, for instance.

Whatever, only read the first paragraph or two and I got the point. With the season opener more than two months away, what else are the groundskeepers gonna do with their time?

This is a throw-away opinion piece by a dorky baseball guy with nothing better to do.

Oh yeah, and baseball's a great sport!!! Not that any of you "stick-and-ball-sport" hating biker geeks would know.

 

More of a Game than a sport.... When was the last time you saw a baseball player sweat?

 

:crackhead:
Not sure what's more stupid, the article or the comments in this thread. Usually it's golf getting ragged on by your hardcore M-Fers for not being a sport, now baseball isn't a sport... apparently you didn't see the thread about soccer being the most phyically demanding sport ever... this offseason sucks. :down:

 

McGuire during that senate inquiry.

 

That's fucked up right there.

 

But so True!

 

My thoughts exactly.

Most B Ball players are waaaay too full of themselves.

 

I can't remember who said it, but during an interview one guy said "Ma'am, I'm not an athlete. I'm a baseball player." I think he was on the Phillies.

The article is stupid. It's a stadium, not some holy temple of baseball. Whether it's dirt for supercross or folding chairs for a concert you have to put the space to use.
