So, baseball consists of nine defensemen?

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

uncle phil · 11-23-2009, 01:07 PM

yup...

BadNick · 11-23-2009, 01:16 PM

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

Jetée · 11-23-2009, 01:28 PM

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).

BadNick · 11-23-2009, 01:55 PM

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

Jetée · 11-23-2009, 02:12 PM

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"

Jetée · 11-23-2009, 03:50 PM

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.

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.

hahhhhaha........

BadNick · 11-25-2009, 07:09 AM

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.

Jetée · 11-28-2009, 02:52 PM

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.
