So, baseball consists of nine defensemen?

(pitcher, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, home/catcher, short, center, left-,right-... is that it?)

yup...

also nine offensive men ...not including all the offensive people around here

Dude, I'm an excellent educated guesser.

Did I even get the postions right?

(I'm off to see if any of my friends have baseball pictures).

are you sure you're not a baseball expert in disguise?

No. What constitutes a "baseball expert"?

All I've ever known is a few names, a few locales, and that 'The Rays' used to be appendaged by 'Devil'.

What does RBI stand for?

Oh, I most forgot to continue my "theme"

run batted in...

Does the "CY" in Cy Young stand for anything, or is it an award named after a famous accomplisher, like the Heisman?

cyrus,,,,,

well, there's the history

the georgia peach...

he was a mean man they say.....

sorry to stray away from the conversation, (how was he mean? Did he strangle ducks, or not tip the bat-boy?) but this was especially amusing.

From the Lions-Browns game, an extravaganza of a game that only 3.8% of the football population watched, and only 0.2% of the population thought was going to be a good game. It turned out to be a theatre of a match, going down to the wire, and a remarkable comeback upset from a rookie, ending 38-37, in favor. Only a small snippet:

Cleveland faked a field goal with 10 seconds left in the second quarter, converted the first down on a pass from kicker Phil Dawson, and then actually kicked the field goal on the very next play. The only possible explanation was that Eric Mangini hoped to completely catch Detroit off guard for a touchdown, because otherwise it was insane.

Cleveland Spiders? wonderful

his "slow ball" = now called changeup

Are any of you other guys here running out soon to get your very own RipT Fusion tee shirt?

my two main concerns are that it might constrict my ability to breath and it might reduce the amount of beer I can swallow

Well, yesterday was reading the box scores and digesting the information, and this morning, I'm reviewing all the highlights from the weekend to better appreciate what had occurred.

Simply unbelievable.

NFL Videos: Lions 38, Browns 37

(at about the 4:30 mark, I am in awe of the sort of athleticism and escapability one 'Josh Cribbs' has. It's the sort of play that makes you jump out of your seat.)

ty cobb was a foul-mouthed racist, as well as a "spikes-up" dirty base-runner, but jeebus, could he hit a baseball...

I was gonna say "who ever let the Canadians into our game..." but then I found this...probably written by a Canadian

The first baseball game recorded in Canada was played in Beachville, Ontario on June 4, 1838 (before the purported codification of the game by Abner Doubleday). Many Canadians, including the staff of the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in St. Marys, Ontario, claim that this was the first documented game of modern baseball, although there appears to be no evidence that the rules used in this game were codified and adopted in other regions. The first documented evidence of a base ball game in Canada comes from a letter published in Sporting Life magazine in 1886, a letter by Dr. Adam E. Ford of Denver, Colorado, formerly of St. Marys, Ontario and Beachville, Ontario, about a game 48 years earlier in Beachville on June 4, 1838 — Militia Muster Day.

the mudville 9?

probably written by a Canadian..., that was more than chuckle-worthy, Nick.

it's just a game fellas.......

we know, like "don't take the world serious..."

I like that ^ ...calm down your opponent, distract his focus. Then when they least expect it go in for the kill.

martial arts movies are awesome

I like pastels and tempura...sometimes charcoal gives nice effects. I feel free when I'm playing with water colors.

i'm a grey poupon kind of guy, myself...

fuckin' rights Nick.........you're catching on.

rather see martial arts out in the street, myself...

everything else looks so staged...

like dual staged nitrous

Ah, I just learned that Bruce Lee was born on the 27th of Nov.

happy belated birthday, Bruce....may you r.i.p.

staged, like as in "made for TV..."

I like things made for TV at times, saves me the time to read about it from the transcript or in the newspaper, but without those new-CGI-visuals they stack into all the latest shows nowadays. Martial arts are nice in-person, but more of the "style" is on display in TV and in expos; if not, every single fight just degrades into a grappling match more often than not.

But still, all my televisions (up until the last one I owned, which was around 4 months ago) all had closed-captioning enabled. Even when I try to get away from reading by watching the tube, I can still read along if I want to.

i'm also beating nick at "where in the world..."
