Seriously, I think we all have some redneck in us.
NASCAR (until recently): Speed, racing, lots of tits at the races, lots of beer drinking at the races, the smell of fuel and burning rubber.
Baseball: A bunch of Central American, overpaid players who spend 4 hours trying to round the bases more times than the other guy. Almost zero strategy, and almost zero entertainment.

It's really pretty simple
I guess you've never played the sport, and combining this with your love of NASCAR, I'd put you somewhere around 330 pounds.

It's funny that you can make an assumption off someone liking NASCAR and not baseball and making them 330 pounds.

Well that's just stupid, right there.
Again, It's funny how it's alright for someone to disagree with you, and that makes them stupid, but as soon as I call you out for being stupid you'll send me a PM asking me 'tell me why I shouldn't ban you again'. Yet you swear up and down you don't run this place like a Nazi. yeah, whatthefuckever.

Okay - tell me a strategy? Bunt here, hit a single there? If you think that shit can actually happen, you're nuts. Yes, you can call a bunt play, but as a manager, you don't call single, double, triple or home run - that shit is based on the player being able to hit whatever is pitched to him. I'm saying it again - THERE IS NO STRATEGY IN BASEBALL.

If there was any doubt that you're a moran, it's been resolved.

yeah, whatever tard. Again, you post with absolutely no substance. You give an opinion, with nothing to back it up. Same old story, you don't know shit.

Albert Pujols is batting... well since THERE IS NO STRATEGY IN BASEBALL I guess I will just hum one straight over the plate waist high?
Baseball is only interesting because of the little intricacies that permeate every aspect of the game.

I wasn't aware you could comprehend substance. Okay.
I played baseball for 10+ years, most of that was as a catcher. Calling a game from behind the plate takes strategy. Setting your defense properly for the situation (double play, playing the bunt, looking for the play at the plate) takes strategy. Attacking a batter's weaknesses from the mound takes strategy. Beating the Tigers in the World Series takes strategy.

Okay, I give, you're a professional baseball player. Every time you get up to bat, you can do whatever it is you want to do. That's why the majority of players have batting averages under 300, because they can only hit the ball 2 out of 10 times. And on those 2 out of 10 times they hit it, they are doing exactly what they wanted, single, humming "one straight over the play waist hight". It's a no win argument. I hate baseball, and you can't convince me there is any strategy whatsoever. Go ahead and continue the moran and stupid remarks, I mean, I'm not the one sitting home hoping to win a lottery for an unproven player in the NHL because my team didn't make the playoffs. Oh yes, I just went there.

I'm just ignoring the fact that you're in the playoffs and won the President's Trophy...
In other words... F you.
Nobody here likes you - what will it take for you to figure that out?
Not surprised you fall back to the "no one likes you" comment. Are you self aware?
Yes, I'm self aware. I'm also aware that you're an idiot. I'm also aware that when I wake up in the morning and try to get on this site i'll either be banned for calling you an idiot, or i'll have a PM from Curt asking me 'tell me why I shouldn't ban you again'. And i'll respond in my custormay response, that I don't give a shit if he bans me or not. I'm here to have a good time. I've been here for 7-years now having fun with posters who can take it and who can dish it out, not with sissies like you who take shit so personal.

That wouldn't be because the pitcher is using strategy too, would it?

Just as much strategy as any other sport.
So, you can honestly sit there and tell me there is as much strategy in baseball as there is in football? Basketball? The NHL with line changes? NASCAR with pitstops?

I love how you can rip on someone for not having any substance in their posts and then you tack on an insult in every single one of yours. If you were legitimately trying understand something about baseball and not just stirring up shit then you wouldn't need your token insults.
I'm fine with the insults, generally they make me laugh (no, not with you, AT YOU). Just don't pretend to be a reasonably intelligent thing afterwards.
