gonna agree with you here. i enjoy baseball more than football, but strategy in baseball is pretty overrated. football really is more of a chess match between two coaches (if peyton manning isn't playing), but i'd be willing to bet that a vast, overwhelming majority of football fans don't give a shit about how strategic it is and instead are more focused on YEAH FUCKING KILL THAT GUY LAY HIS ASS OUT BIG HITS BIG HITS BIG HITS 7/5/2012 8:49:48 PM

This was pretty much my point earlier. Maybe if I had screamed it using shorter words, Kurtis wouldn't have completely missed it. 7/5/2012 8:56:37 PM

Carlos Gomez loves turning routine singles into triples
Which would be great if he were batting, but he does it as an outfielder 7/7/2012 4:19:10 PM

ok so in both of those scenarios a manager came running out to say WTF. in the first one, the manager was ejected from the game because he said something an umpire didn't like. in the second one, the manager said something the umpire probably didn't like (being second guessed) but was rewarded with an overturned call.

Vicente Padilla layed the fucking smack down on Teixeira
"In this sport, as competitive ball players, we get pretty fired up," Padilla said. "So I think, maybe, [Teixeira] picked the wrong profession. I think he'd be better off playing a women's sport." 7/8/2012 8:29:56 PM

oh yeah. layed the fucking smack down by resorting to a contrived jab at another player's manhood. i'm sure that was hard. "what? you're calling me out on throwing at people? well...well...you're a girl!" 7/8/2012 8:45:04 PM

my favorite is around 1:16 where the 1st base coach for the twins starts waving his hands in the air, heads towards the field, then makes his way over to the rangers' dugout before turning and running for the twins' dugout.
