because stick ball has 162 games? there's zero reason to watch 162 games of somebody swinging with a stick or standing out in the outfield chewing sunflower seeds or scratching their balls

What's the point of watching 82 games of guys standing around, scratching their balls, missing free throws and travelling 10 times a game when the playoffs take almost as long as the regular season and just about everyone makes it?

The sport is entertaining but the league is trash. MLB is at least interesting and competitive.

Technically, the NBA has maybe seventeen games per season. The number of games teams don't show up or quit is astounding in the current brand.

162>82 no matter how you spin it. There is ZERO need for one hundred and sixty two games. Stickball is dudes literally standing still until the ball comes their way. The entire game. Unless you're a pitcher, catcher, or at bat you don't do shit. When 48 year old pitchers can still compete that's a problem.

If I was forced to watch John Wall play basketball I'd think the league is trash too. But the Astros are trash too so I guess it evens out.

You sound like a Eurotrash gender bender bitching about football by calling it handegg.

Why would you complain about quantity?

There will never be anything better than the phrase, "Going to the pub to watch the game.".

I could say the same about you and the Astros and why you hate baseball so much. My point is, basketball playoffs are as predictable as WWE is. I watch because its entertaining, but it's still garbage. You don't know what you get when you watch baseball. That's what makes it more exciting in my book.

Baseball is 90% white so of course you like it and think it's the greatest thing ever

Football is best ball. Best league, most entertaining sport to watch. Basketball great, but the pro league sucks. Baseball is good, but it's too long
because the Dodgers can never hold on to a lead no matter how big it is. >:| FUCK THE GIANTS!

[edit] Baseball has a lot of black talent, but since they speak spanish, we refuse to recognize them!

Why do you have to make everything so personal, enzark.

I guess if i lived in the middle of no where and had a few hours while waiting for the deer to come out because there is nothing else to do, i might enjoy baseball too.

There are better things to do in the California Spring/Summer

Baseball is predictable!

The San Francisco Giants, a team that made almost 0 major off season moves and got almost nothing out of some of their most expensive players just won the World Series. I am not entirely sure what was predictable about that.

I like to think of it as a last defense in case Livewire gets frosty. For the most part you are probably right. Most trades are fine. I just approved a trade that i didnt feel needed approval but its better to be safe than sorry.

Do we still need the shadow council? I think the Fitz trade backfiring like crazy against the cards taught everyone a lesson. The cap keeps us from doing too many stupid things.
Click to expand...

It didn't really backfire. It's not like there's any gems in free agency I'll be missing out on this year due to my cap hit and I'll be getting 4 1st rounders the next two years, which is what my goal was. That being said, the cap issues will help others from doing boneheaded trades.

That requires 2 or 3 people. Having to PM 8 people over a 5th round pick and two players is a bit much. Plus they don't like to be bothered and MrBob has an agenda!

Its not 8 though. Its really 6 cause the divisions involved don't vote. And you only need majority so that's 4. Most trades won't be voted against.

Not trying to hurry us along, but at this pace, we're not making it by Saturday. We might want to use that website eznark suggested in case that happens.
