they dont risk near as much as any person on the football feild
drobro, you're not getting the point. i never said football players, hockey players, or basketball players are not putting themselves at risk for injury. i just said that baseball players put themselves at risk too. and since when did the amount of injury possible become the criteria to classify a sport? i thought sports were considered sports because they require athletic ability, such as hitting a home run 400+ feet, or turning a double play and still throwing with enough accuracy to get the guy at first out.
yea I don't see any of that happening the cubs prob won't make it to the WS. Sucks about quentin though he was killing it.
wow dude i spelled 2 words wrong but u spelled one wrong too
is actually argument...
That's probably the most uneducated statement I've ever heard in regards to baseball. Please do some research before you post such misinformation on the web.
There is so much wrong with that statement I hurt with laughter. I know, I know, the hype of Chicago winning it on their 100th year DROUGHT has brought the cubs to a new level. They're playing behind a world series hungry fan base that knows and respects the game of baseball, thus they're playing harder and actually leading the NL central. They have a shot no doubt, but my Astros aren't going to stop. After sweeping St. Louis we went out to sacred Wrigley Field and brought out the brooms for the home team for the first time since June of 2007. My Astros are making their September run at the playoffs like we always do. Milwaukee just got done being swept by the Mets and the Astros are only 6 back from their wildcard slot. We've won 8 in a row and are about to sweep Colorado. Brewers are about to collapse and St. Louis is going into a series with the NL West leading Arizona while Philadelphia's going to get their asses handed to them by the Mets. Astros are going to slip into the wildcard... and it's going to be a dogfight from there. As for the AL, I don't watch all to much of you and your not making your pitchers hit and contribute OFFENSIVELY AND DEFENSIVELY like the rest of the team does. It's just not real baseball... Ha if I were going to give my opinion on the matter though, the Ray's are looking good despite Boston moving to only 3.5 games back. That series in a couple weeks is gonna be a good one. Oh and you Yankee fans out there... HA! HAHA! HAHAHAHAHA! No but seriously you have the highest payroll in baseball and the owner of your team announced publicly over 2 weeks ago that he was "Looking forward to next season". The ASTROS were further from the wildcard than the Yanks were in their division when that comment was made and now we're only 6 back. I would be so disappointed in my owner if he wrote my team off like that. Let's keep this thread going... I love this game.
I couldnt agree more with what you are saying. I hate the DH. Why should the pitchers not hit? Come on, thats half the game and half the strategy when to pinch hit/double switch. A 7 year old can manage a AL team and still win if their team is decent enough. Good luck with Houston making the wildcard. Roy Oswalt is really coming around like he should be.
Tallanasty, I dont even know where to start with you. First of all, you have to get to the major leagues by being the best in the country, which means pitching your whole life without being paid ANYTHING. And only then, (your arm would be torn up before you even got there) can you start to make any money at all. Who makes 10 million??? like probably 1/10 of the mlb. The only players that get paid 10 mil are 1 in a 1,000,000 in this world. So before making stupid statements on a sport that obviously you know nothing about, realize what they do to their bodies to make that money. Theres a reason they are out there competing and making money and you are just an ignorant wannabe fanboy.
your nuts if you think morneau is out producing dustin predroia andespecially not on defense that little dude can hit al cy def goes to lee he's just nasty this yr
