God, yes.... I have no idea how people can sit through 82 home games to be honest....
2009 baseball season...
- Thread starter hunsperger
- Start date
People do not sit through 82 home games.God, yes.... I have no idea how people can sit through 82 home games to be honest....
Spoken like a true hockey fan.
81 is the number we were looking for. LOL.
...
they have a long regular season to determine who the best teams are...
this weeds out all the have nots and streaky teams...
you have to be consistent over the long haul...
once they have established who the best teams are they have a very expeditious playoff to determine the champion...
not like the dumbass NHL where the playoffs are a season unto themselves...
hell, in the NHL they play six months to eliminate a whopping 47% of the teams ....
than they take the other 53% of the teams and have another season of playoffs ending in approximately mid-June ...
BTW Hubba, percentages always total to 100...
fuck, if baseball was like hockey, the World Series would end two days after Xmas...
but what else does one expect in dumbass Canucklehead land ...
Trackstar et al...
I am trying to broaden your horizons...
there are other sports besides Canucks hockey ...
BJhunter, keep up the good work...
have a nice day...
actually baseball is one of the few sports that does it right...81, 82, 162, 164, same shit, different pile... Still too long of a season...

You're not very good at this whole, "Trying to be a troll" thing. I'm guessing you would be better at the whole self deprevation and being gay like Sperminator
Ya, finally a sport where the, "Athletes" look like the beer-bellied couch potatoes that watch themHear Hear!!! Finally
...
he's a troll...
don't worry Dave...that's why we love it, because we can relate. Be nice, if you don't like this sport, just don't watch it or talk about it. There is no need to bash people who like it.
Peace!

But, Dave, you just do not understand.
Those who hate baseball still feel they must enter a discussion on baseball (even though they know so little about it) because they know how valued their opinions are to so many other members.
Where would the rest of us be without their brilliance?
I, on the other hand would rarely enter a discussion on Hockey because I do not have the basic knowledge of the sport. However, I can confidently state that I have been to more Canuck games in the last 10 years than at least half the members here. And, yet, that still does not make me an expert.
Sometimes brillance is knowing when to say nothing.
Baseball rules in my life, but that does not make me right or wrong.
Great piece there, dude. I'm willing to bet that you know way more hockey than 90% of the CH and BW here. the ppl I overhear at the pubs think Luongo was originally drafted by Florida, think that Toronto was Sundin's first team...you know, a lot of dumb, stupid fans in this city (of course, never on this gorgeous forum, hehhe, everyone's a smarty pants here, right Trackie?) actually think they know hockey, but only about the Nucks.
They don't know the rest of the rules or the history or the league. heck, they probably still think the top 16 teams make it to the playoffs
at least SFMike calls it the way it is...
...
watched the Sunday night game between the Dodgers and Cubs...
Dodgers off to a great start...
sans Manny for the last little while...
the guy that really impressed me though, over 1.2 innings, was Ronald Belasario...

Funny how you two CH keep on reminding me of dementia; don't you know about the Nucks' fabulous history of losing???Dementia forbids that
why don't you compare their losing percentages, how many cups they've won, how pitiful some of their fans can be?
Guess you guys are just a bit too old, or just a bad memory...lol!
Or maybe because this is a baseball thread? See? DementiaFunny how you two CH keep on reminding me of dementia; don't you know about the Nucks' fabulous history of losing???

Please do me the honor of not dragging my name into your anti-Canuck spiel.Great piece there, dude.

Your outlook on the Canucks is so different from mine and I have enjoyed all 69 Canuck games (I just counted the ticket stubs) I have attended. And, regarding "your" stupid fans BS, you are so far off the mark. Almost all I have learned about hockey has been from those around me at the games I have seen. There is nothing wrong with being loyal to the hometeam.
And, speaking of being loyal to the hometeam, as this is a baseball thread, I am an Oakland A's fan and they are currently the worst team in the American league (thank you God for the Nationals). But that does not stop me from being at the games. I remember the great years and the not-so-great years.
In all sports, there are true fans, and there are those who climb on the bandwagon when the timing is right. Must have something to do with the male ego, not wanting to associate oneself with a losing entity.
How else would one explain the large numbers of Yankee fans over the years?
Being a Yankee fan is easy, not so easy being an A's fan or a Mariner fan.
But, I will always consider myself a Canuck, even though I am not.
...
music to my ears...
God created baseball, all the rest is the work of man...
the Oakland A's...
let's see now...
1972, 1973 and 1974...
Vida Blue, Rollie Fingers, Sal Bando, Joe Rudi, Bert Campaneris, Reggie, Jimmy "Catfish" Hunter, John "Blue Moon" Odom,
Kenny Holtzman and so many more...
"Catfish" was the master...
lest we forget their one time beloved owner...
Chuck O. Finley...
although Bowie Kuhn might disagree...
SFMike, do you remember orange baseballs...
I better stop, I'm starting to weep...
BTW...
don't feel too bad, I'm an Orioles' fan...
yes!!!...

Carlos is up to his usual shenanigans...
he makes $17,750,000 a year and he was fined $3000...
that certainly will be a deterrance ...
he was also suspended for six days, but the only impact on him will be his next start is delayed one day because he is a pitcher ...
have to admit though...
he is a pitcher everybody would love to have on THEIR team...
kind of like the whiny Cindy Crosby ...

...Hunsperger: very good long-term memory, not so good short-term
How could you forget the Loma Prieta Series? And, just missed in 1988 and 1990.
And, some bandwagon rider pointed out the Yankes' 18 game errorless streak.
Let's not forget the A's 20 game loss-less streak, as opposed to winless.
But, wait, just for you, I have saved the very best for last: Coming to a movie theatre near you, in 2010, Moneyball, the Movie.
Apparently, there is high hopes for this movie (not many decent baseball movies) since a guy named Penn is going to play the role of Billy Beane.
Sorry about your Oriole thing. i am feeling your pain this year.
