So...

Yeah, it varies store to store. Some locations are great, and know exactly what they're talking about. Others can't tell you anything unless it's on a cue card.

Okay, I have to say this again, because it's fun to rile baseball fans and because I truly believe it: baseball is not a sport.

That being said, I stopped shopping at gamestop a while back. I got tired of poor service across the board... and I've since found other places to get better service and the same kind of prices. =)

QFN (Quoted for Nonsense). How can you say that it's not a sport? It's a physical activity that requires immense amounts of skill and strength.

Is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

Random Semi-Incoherant Thought Man, away!

Nah, regular chemistry is still chem. Organic is like the carbons and hydrogens, and alkanes and stuff.

That doesn't rile anyone. It's just an incredibly stupid thing to say.

In case I don't get the chance to tell later, I am going to Italy on Wednesday. So, I will be gone for about two weeks in April.

Sitting in the dugout, standing around waiting for a ball to come to you, standing on base waiting for someone to get a hit... these things are very physically demanding. Almost as much as playing darts or going bowling. Baseball is the most boring, least entertaining game I have ever seen. If fat 90 year olds can play it while intoxicated, it's a joke.

And yes, I've said that casually and baseball fans get all pissed off. It's fair to say it's stupid if you disagree with it, but to get upset is kind of funny.

That's pretty random, I must admit. Have fun, and don't call them EYE-tal-yins. 😉

I forgot to mention something. I retook the SAT tests and got a 1960. Previously I received an 1890. I did 20 points better on critical reading (now a still very low 570), 50 points better on writing (now a decent 650), and the same on math (740). I actually did worse on the essay -- this time I got a 6 opposed to last time's 7 (of 12).

Yeah, reading and essay writing aren't my best skills.

Icey, I'd like you to try it with people your age. Let's see how you do.

Eh, I'm not taking the SAT's till April. But when I took them back in 8th grade I think I got a 1070 on the old 1600 scale, which is like a 1500ish I think on todays. Not great, but eh, I was in middle school

I got back to UCLA last night after the game at the Coliseum yesterday. I find out this morning that there is no food here at all until 3. It's ridiculous, all I had at the Coliseum was Derick's Big Sausage (yes, that's what the place was called) and a few beers. Needless to say, I'm hungry as hell, and there's no food in the room.

That happened to me during finals week. I forgot they don't serve dinner on Friday of finals week so I got out of a final at 5:30 pm starving to find no food anywhere. It was pretty lame.

And phattonez, I'm not bad at baseball, and I used to play, but I've never enjoyed it. It's just not a game I like, that's all.

Even though I almost never, ever post in this godawfully long thread, I wanted to add that I agree with Icey about baseball. It's very boring and does not require the physical athleticism of more exciting sports.

Baseball players have to work just as hard if not harder than people of other sports. It may not be as athletically demanding (for some positions), but it requires so much more skill and especially great reaction times and the ability to move very quickly.

Also, if you want it to be enjoying, you really have to understand the complexities and the strageies.

I can't wait until this thread moves to Forum Games and everyone here's post count count down by 200.

Not as physically demanding? Have any of you ever SEEN a MJL baseball player? Their arms probably weigh more than some of you do.

In any case, while I am just a casual player, I agree that baseball is boring to watch. Playing, on the other hand, is great. I really enjoy the game, if I'm on the field. Then again, I've never been a very good spectator. I'd rather be out there having fun than be sitting on a cold plank of wood twenty feet above the ground watching others have fun.

Though, for the sake of argument, I don't know of many non athletes that can throw a ball with deadly precision at over 90 miles an hour.

And an NFL lineman's calf probably weighs more than some of us. Complete exaggeration, but the point is there.

I don't like baseball for a few reasons. One, it's miserably boring to watch. Two, the only way they try to make it interesting is by regurgitating insanely detailed statistics to viewers. Three, baseball revolves around an incredibly precise degree of succeeding or failing; that is, hitting a tiny ball going 90 mph. Swing too high? Strike. Swing too low? Strike. Swing too early? Strike or foul. Swing too late? Strike or foul. I'd rather watch or play a sport that something happens every minute.

Typical baseball game in (then) Jacob's Field in Cleveland, Ohio, a few years ago, even though this isn't a picture of the field:

Typical football game:

Plus, take high school sports. Baseball and soccer games have mostly parents of the players, basketball games have a few non-parents, but football games are packed with townsfolk.

I'd rather watch or play a sport that something happens every minute.

Wow Pineconn, I didn't realize that you were so unreasonable. Baseball has 162 games a year, how many does football have? Nowhere near that. Not only that, but you pick a picture where THEY AREN'T EVEN PLAYING YET! That's right, they're either prepping the field or cleaning it up.

Also, could the fact that more people go to high school football games be the result of always having games on Friday nights? Most high school baseball games are weekday afternoons.

And that, kids, is why we Canadians like hockey.

...and I've just come back from my first day in my internship at about 5. ...It's gonna be a looooooong 8 weeks. :uhoh:

Fistly, I'm on an older Mac, with a mouse that has no mousewheel. Second, Dreamweaver has expired somehow on the computer, so I have to use TextEdit to make the code (and it SUCKS compared to notepad.). Thirdly, I only had my first day and I already messed up something. ...Don't ask. It's a long story. But at least I got that mess up out of my system right away, I guess.

So, I came home, had my supper, and since my mom and younger Bro were off to a doctors appointment, and my dad is coming home much later, I was able to play a half hour-ish of Brawl so I could unwind.

and when I'm done catching up, net-wise, I gotta continue working on my work, since I have dreamweaver at home.

....aaaaaaaah....@_@ Oh for the days of homework again!

Why not just type in the code?

Yeah baseball requires you to be a real specimen of fitness:

...I did.

but seeing as how I haven't coded directly for over a year, and seeing as how I only brought my dreamweaver book and not my HTML book...it was a bit tricky. ...oh, and once again, I say that Notepad >>>>> TextEdit. TE can't even open an HTML file as a .txt file.

I really need some help to get this off the ground, guys.

Not necessarily fitness. There is simply a ton of muscle under that fat.
