We all got really quiet


Not a slight on anyone. But I usually find that those that don't like to watch baseball are usually people that didn't play it all that much...

I like to watch it 'cuz I can put myself in every situation I see. Kinda like my own little commentating. Guessing what pitch is coming next (depends on the count, the score, runners on, batter's weaknesses/strengths, pitcher's weaknesses/strengths, ballpark, pitch count, batter's count etc...), when a runner is gonna steal, when a batter is gonna bunt. I try to pick up their signals (catcher to pitcher), I remember how certain batters were pitched and how they handled it. Is he a pull hitter or does he go to the opposite field? Is he a sucker the high heat or does he like 'em low & away? Everything, I pick it all apart. I can watch it 24/7, any teams-any time. Doesn't matter to me...

That being said, I'd hafta say hockey is my fave to watch on TV. As much as I enjoy the pure brutality associated with it, the finesse and power and control they have on skates is amazing. Now we just gotta get Fox to stop using that damn colored streamer they put on the puck!

Football? Who doesn't like watching it?
