Astros win their division last night.....4th in a row.

[Cranky]

And so far no one is accusing them of sign stealing....yet!

 

[Budnicks]

Yeah, not stealing signs again
4 in a row is pretty impressive...

but who cares ?
I quit watching MLB kneelers (BLM anthem support reversed)
about the same time as the NBA, kneelers, Nothing Butt Assholes

sorry,
you can tell how much I care about them 2 sports now

In my day,
I was a diehard, 20 year season ticket holder (77-97) & since I was a small kid
I routed for the Oakland A's, American League
& a pseudo LA Dodgers fan, (met Don Drisdale & Steve Garvey a while back)
I had to route for someone in the National League not a real NL fan
way too far away to go to any games, when it was full of stars
(I was young & dumb)
I hated the New York Yankees, with a passion, (still do)
I didn't like the Giants either...
I'd route for whomever them 2 were playing to win

I never really cared for any Texas teams/in any sport, especially MLB or NBA...
but;
I did like Hank Aaron thou...

I don't watch every game but the ones I did watch back then.....I didn't see any Astro bending a knee. Baseball is about the only stick and ball sport that I watch.

Yeah, I get it some didn't do it...

Also;
With the players strikes/whinny millionaires' greed (like 5 now)
or lock outs (ownership, not wanting to comply),
all them shortened seasons & rules changes, slow freaken' games
I just got fed up with the whole deal...

Now I will only watch 'really in the playoffs', & usually next door
drinking beer (or stiffer stuff) with my neighbor
he's a diehard MLB fan, like a walking talking encyclopedia, it's amazing...
He's "a diehard SF Giants & SF (Santa Clara) 49ers fan,
& I'm a bleed silver & black LV Raiders & sometimes pseudo A's fan now,
but we get along...

I do still watch PGA & LIV golf too, but not like I used to...
Presidents Cup starts tomorrow, USA against the World
Very lil' politics or crap in that sport... some tried to fabricate some
& a bunch of drama like stick & balls sports all have
because the $$$/funding changed & 'it died hard' on the vine...
Thye all got richer...
& I can still play it competitively, the very same game as them...

 

[Richard Cranium]

I’m so underwhelmed.

The White Sox screwed up and won last night, otherwise they would have set the record for most losses in a season. I have faith they still will manage to set the record, maybe today!
That is the only interesting thing going on in major league baseball this season IMHO.
The Chicago White Sox are on the verge of making history -- in a really bad way

 

[Cranky]

I’m so underwhelmed.

That's probably because you don't like baseball lol

First Baptist Church Softball Team Defeats Chicago White Sox 7-2

Sep 25, 2024

CHICAGO, IL — In what experts described as the final insult during the last week of what has been a dreadful season, the Chicago White Sox were defeated by the First Baptist Church softball team by a score of 7-2.

White Sox team executives had hoped that taking a brief break from their historic losing season and playing against the church softball team on their off day might boost the club's confidence, but the plan backfired when First Baptist mercilessly bludgeoned the team.

"Just when we didn't think the season could get any worse," said a disappointed White Sox Manager Grady Sizemore. "I thought we showed a lot of fire and desire to win this one, but that First Baptist lineup was just too much for us. That tubby first baseman in particular was just crushing us. We couldn't get him out. But that's nothing new for us this year."

The First Baptist softball players, while happy to get the win, didn't feel like they had accomplished anything spectacular. "It's just the White Sox," said First Baptist catcher Ralph Harmon. "I guess maybe we should be excited about beating a Major League Baseball team, but we need to temper our celebrations and remember who it is we beat. Still, we'll at least have bragging rights here on the South Side for a while."

At publishing time, the White Sox front office was reportedly in deep negotiations to sign several members of the First Baptist softball team in hopes of improving the club's lineup for next season.

Even though baseball and softball is similar.....they are very different with the size and and weights of the balls. Many major league baseball players don't do well when trying to hit a softball. Also, underhand pitches are quite different too....try going from softball to hardball and you will probably not do well either......but you already know that

 

[XS22J8R]

Wahoo! White Sox set the record for most losses in a season today!

I didn't see any Astro bending a knee.
