am i the only one...

[ash1ee]

who actually enjoys baseball? (.....loves it)

hate away. what else is there for you to follow other than futbol?

[LeeBrat]

i like playing base ball :) *or pretty much any sport*
but i dont like watching them so much

[KenJi]

i am in a beer league team and i follow baseball to an extent, but since my team blows for the last three. *mariners* i don't follow it as much. Man what happened 2001 everything is well than on back to the celler.

but i have always loved boxing and since this month is a treat with a good fight every week culminating with GATTI vs MAYWEATHER.

I can't go wrong

[Silverwinged]

I love watchin' ball! (seeings how i cant play worth crap)
Some of my fondest memories with my grampa, are him taking me to games at Nat Bailey and explaining the game to me.
Then, us watching games on TV together...

[Chewy]

watching baseball sucks dog balls

[ebbomega]

I went to a Mariner's game a couple years ago.

This was like 2 weeks after the Canucks got eliminated from the playoffs.

At like the 7th Inning Stretch, we were all like "So... when're they gonna start playing?"

Baseball has completely lost its magic for me ever since that player's strike back in the mid-90s.

[Mr.Wrong]

i like playing baseball, but i cant make it through a whole game on tv

[veN]

Love playing, love watching. I simply love the game.

I miss it so much since I can't play anymore. Sometimes I get sad watching it, but on the other hand, it's one of the games I get more hyped up about. Since I don't hang out with any girls from ball anymore, I don't really go out and watch games anymore. Wanna change that Ashlee? I'm a really fun date who looooves a good game. Just name a time + place.

[Anjew]

I love it.
I love all sports
In order here it is:

NHL
CFL
NBA
MLB
NFL

I wanna head down to safeco field... man.. that ball park is beautiful.

[TheCooker]

NASCAR

Watching cars race around a oval really, really fast!! Can you imagine anything more exciting???

Seriously I can't wait for my next Lions game! I want to beat my time last year of 15 minutes. That's how long it took until we were kicked out...WOOOOOOOOO good times being a drunk ass! >=] YiP

When you see a big eskimos flag near the goal line or mid field
that's me.

I'm down with baseball once the games start to mean something. The playoffs can be totally entertaining, as each game contains stratigizing on the level of competitive chess.

The first 140 or so games of the regular season?... *yaaawn*

While we're ranking sports in order of descending viewing enjoyment....

1) Hockey
2) Boxing
3) Soccer
4) NFL
5) NBA (similar to baseball, only interested in key games.. beats baseball because of much higher athleticism)
6) CFL (sometimes entertaining, but mostly because weak ass defense allows for multiple 70 yard plays..)
193) Curling

Hockey is clinging to its top spot out of nostalgia.. The aftershock of the Canucks' 93-94 run still lingers to this day. Also, the Canucks/Blues 7 game series a couple of years back remains the most thrilling live sports experience of my life, with Game 7 being the most transcendent live game I've seen.

But moments like these have been few and far between, whereas boxing has offered up tons of quality entertainment, as long as one steers clear of the heavyweight division.. and soccer blessed us with Euro 2004, and an amazing Champions League final this year. Add to that the ongoing labor negotiation nonsense, and hockey's position at #1 is tenuous at best.

but i have always loved boxing and since this month is a treat with a good fight every week culminating with GATTI vs MAYWEATHER.

I can't go wrong

No, no you can't.

Hatton/Tszyu tonight!

[Grapes]

PS Kenji, when you said "A good fight each week", surely you were not including the latest 'Iron' Mike Tyson debacle?

versus... Kevin Mcwho??

[Hot Karl]

i can watch baseball, but only because i'm a sports junkie.

and i'll always put the jays game on for a bit, just on principal.

[Grapes]

The principal of being a traitor to your Vancouver roots by following a team from Toronto?

i didn't know any better when i was a kid. I DIDN'T KNOW!

[Anjew]

gatti vs ward 1

OMG....
unbelievable

[Grapes]

I'll admit it, I cheered for them too. Then I became an expos fan. Then the strike robbed them of a World Series appearance. Then I became full of bitterness and loathing. That pretty much brings us to now!

[sidekick]

baseball's one of my favs!

i head to boston every summer to visit family and we also hit up a Red Sox game (favourite team since i was a kid).

this year we're stopping by new york as well, so i'll be able to see a yankee and a red sox game this summer.

i saw the red sox play the yankees like 5 years ago (maybe more actually) and the crowd at fenway went nuts. they chant 'yankees suck' even if they're playing baltimore or some other team. it's hilarious. selling 'yankees suck, jeter swallows' t-shirts outside of the stadium.

No not Tyson and Mcline

I meant there are three good junior welterweight fights this month,.

Cotto and Abduliv or however you spell his name

tonight at 2am in manchester Kostya Tzsyu vs Ricky Hatton

and my favorite Mayweather and Gatti. < - can't wait

[Grapes]

Ah I see. Don't know much about Cotto, but I've heard good things.

Just found out Antonio Tarver / Glencoffe Johnson II is on the 18th! Who knew? Hopefully my boy Tarver can step it up this time around and use his superior skills to take it. He could have won the previous fight with a better work ethic.

[Grapes]

Oops.. baseball thread becomes boxing thread :)

[soma]

Go Yankees!
