Pablo Sandoval....Santa Claus on Third

Why Baseball is just a game, not a sport


If you
a. ever learn to read, and
b. develop an intellect....

I recommend Sexton's tome
"Baseball as a Road to God: Seeing Beyond the Game"


Well...you'd probably need
c. ....to be a baseball fan as well.
neat post and insults, etc. and all.....

its still not a sport :thup:


when you can be a chubby fatfuck who is not a lineman(their job is to BE a wall)....then youve no business calling yourself an athlete.

in baseball, a player is doing physical activity, AT ALL, like what...10% of the time if you're not a pitcher?

thats why many a slovenly baseball player can still be successful....because its more a skilled game than an athletic sport.

You have no a clue. It's been said the hardest thing to do in sports is to hit a major league pitcher. Pablo did well in that, until he had a ham on his back, a metaphor for all those who no longer have the fire in their belly. Baseball is a five skill game, all of which require strength, agility, fast twitch muscle, study, consistency and desire (practice, practice, practice). It is that and also a game of chess, best understood by the non verbal communication between the pitcher and the catcher.
Its actually only 2 things - skill and instinct.

Some of the greatest hitters of all time played: OBESE.

Babe Ruth was obese, he was a great pitcher whose eyesight was described in a book I read long ago as so good he could read the numbers on a license plate the average 20-20 person could not identify the colors. As I stated above, you have no clue. Skill can be developed, human beings do not have instincts, per se. We have reflexes, reactions but mostly learned behaviors.

Well, for one thing the area youre taking me to task on is the talent/skill that it takes......which I explicitly and whole-heartedly agree with that it does so youre farting into the wind there, genius.

But ignoring that lack of reading comprehension, Babe Ruth, big papi, tony gwynn......all these sloppy bodies prove that baseball is a game of skill, not a sport. Theres no prerequisite of being FIT, to be great.

"Baseball is a five skill game, all of which require strength, agility, fast twitch muscle, study, consistency and desire (practice, practice, practice)."

And Baseball, closer to life than any other sport....

"The thing about baseball is that the regular season is one hundred sixty-two games long. Way, way longer than any other sport. Any other sport has about half as many games as baseball. Basketball, hockey, football, soccer, anything. Any other sport, the players can start out thinking they can win every single game all season long. It's just about a realistic motivational goal. It's even been achieved, here and there, now and then. But it's impossible in baseball.

The very best teams, the greatest champions, they all lose around a third of their games. They lose fifty or sixty times a year, at least. Imagine what that feels like, from a psychological perspective. You're a superb athlete, you're fanatically competitive, but you know for sure you're going to lose repeatedly. You have to make mental adjustments, or you couldn't cope with it. And presidential protection is exactly the same thing. That's my point. We can't win every day. So we get used to it."

"We lose repeatedly. But not every loss is significant. Just like baseball. Not every hit they get produces a run against you, not every defeat they inflict loses you the World Series. And with us, not every mistake kills our guy."
From the novel "Without Fail," by Lee Child, p. 114

And of course there are unwritten rules in baseball, much as there are in politics, and it seems the R Party has violated many of them this season (which is even longer than the ML season) as well as the rule of common decency.

Does Politics ever leave your brain man? Ease up, garrsh



"...brain...."

Don't you recognize to whom you are posing?????

"posing"? Is that a reference to Buster? BTW, the giants are coming to Queens this weekend, I suggest you go to Finnerty's tonight, watch the game and bloviate about how you feel about San Francisco and liberals in general.

No.

Real Yankee fans go to Stan's.


But then I'd have to raise the portcullis, lower the drawbridge, disturb the sharks in the moat, have the stablemen saddle the horses for the pumpkin carriage, have the glass slippers shined, wave to all the peasants......

Nah....I'll watch it on cable.
And wear a clothespin on your nose.
 
"Baseball is a five skill game, all of which require strength, agility, fast twitch muscle, study, consistency and desire (practice, practice, practice)."

And Baseball, closer to life than any other sport....

"The thing about baseball is that the regular season is one hundred sixty-two games long. Way, way longer than any other sport. Any other sport has about half as many games as baseball. Basketball, hockey, football, soccer, anything. Any other sport, the players can start out thinking they can win every single game all season long. It's just about a realistic motivational goal. It's even been achieved, here and there, now and then. But it's impossible in baseball.

The very best teams, the greatest champions, they all lose around a third of their games. They lose fifty or sixty times a year, at least. Imagine what that feels like, from a psychological perspective. You're a superb athlete, you're fanatically competitive, but you know for sure you're going to lose repeatedly. You have to make mental adjustments, or you couldn't cope with it. And presidential protection is exactly the same thing. That's my point. We can't win every day. So we get used to it."

"We lose repeatedly. But not every loss is significant. Just like baseball. Not every hit they get produces a run against you, not every defeat they inflict loses you the World Series. And with us, not every mistake kills our guy."
From the novel "Without Fail," by Lee Child, p. 114

Win a few, lose a few.

And of course there are unwritten rules in baseball, much as there are in politics, and it seems the R Party has violated many of them this season (which is even longer than the ML season) as well as the rule of common decency.

I've been to both the old and new Yankee Stadiums, as well as Shea and Citi Field - Citi is by far the best of the four. Is "Stan's" in the Bronx, I'll check it out on our next trip east. We've been to Mickey Mantle's on CP South, good food & ambience. My favorite ML ball park - after AT&T in SF - are in Philly and Milwaukee - all three have great views of the playing field and really good food, but the view from AT&T is by far the best.
