BuffOrange Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Since you guys are conflating quality with popularity, I'd like to remind you that the #1 television show in America is usually "Two and a Half Men". Yah, but so what? When I hear a morning talk show on the radio talk about last night's American Idol or Dancing with the Stars, I've found that changing the channel works better than complaining on TBD.

Peace Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 By "you guys" I assume you mean Peace. Because I, for one, have enjoyed MLB more than the NFL's commercial-laden product for the past 5 years, at least. Right. 5 years ago when by your own admission, you became a Yankees fan!
bbb Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 For all your insulting Cowherd talking out his butt, you are doing it yourself. Hockey ratings are not in decline: http://www.baseball-almanac.com/ws/wstv.shtml Soccer ratings for the World Cup this year set sport records. Major League Soccer ratings are flat while attendance is up. http://www.blnz.com/news/2010/04/22/appears_expand_Montreal_3367.html MLB, however: In decline. (Also NBA.) You don't get it, Adams. I'm not saying Cowherd is wrong. (Please point me to where you said you don't listen to him, because I don't recall that). I'm saying that he can talk 100% football for all I care, without insulting the number 2 sport in the country. Where am I talking out my butt? BTW, you want to say MLB attendance is in decline. I don't think it's in decline as much as NFL attendance is, so you can use stats any way you want. Like saying hockey's TV ratings aren't in decline because they had a 1 year Olympic year uptick, bringing them from microscopic to minscule. Since you guys are conflating quality with popularity, I'd like to remind you that the #1 television show in America is usually "Two and a Half Men". And, as Chef pointed out, the songs at the top of the charts are the music equivalent of Two and a Half Men.
Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Right. 5 years ago when by your own admission, you became a Yankees fan! I've felt the same way for 5 years too. It has nothing to do with who I'm a fan of. It's because the NFL on network television is pretty much unwatchable.
bbb Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 I've felt the same way for 5 years too. It has nothing to do with who I'm a fan of. It's because the NFL on network television is pretty much unwatchable. You don't like watching non-stop commercials?

Chef Jim Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 You don't like watching non-stop commercials? For crap beer I don't drink and monster trucks I don't drive.
bbb Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Don't feed the troll. The troll who said that I must be upset because Andy Petite got shelled? Too bad he didn't pitch yet!
Peace Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Don't feed the troll. Don't you need to go back to insulting Bill in NYC over the posts he's been making for years?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 Don't you need to go back to insulting Bill in NYC over the posts he's been making for years? I'm an equal-opportunity troll-hunter. He's just a more seasoned troll, and a one-trick pony to boot.
BuffOrange Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Since Lee doesn't pitch on short rest anyway, I don't know what the big deal is whether he pitches game 1 or 3. Sure it's less likely they get to a game 7, but either way they have to win 2 games where he doesn't pitch. Good point - I agree.
CowgirlsFan Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Good point - I agree. One win down ( Saturday ) and one to go.....Tuesday...Wednesday..Thursday..Saturday..Sunday.
Mark Vader Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Baseball is still and will always be the national pastime... It is played everyday from April to the first of October... Then the playoffs/WS to early November... That is almost 8 months. The only break in there is around the All-Star game when all teams get a day. Want a game to pass the time... You can find it anytime... Even during the day and normal working hours. Why wait around till Sunday... Monday... And sometimes Thursday? I think Howie Long said it best: "Baseball is America's pastime, but football is America's passion."
bbb Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I think Howie Long said it best: "Baseball is America's pastime, but football is America's passion." I would say this is pretty accurate.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Yankees fans? <crickets> You have a question? I'm here and I'll follow their progress until the last pitch, win or lose.
Peace Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 You have a question? I'm here and I'll follow their progress until the last pitch, win or lose. You don't count. You're an expansion fan.
erynthered Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 You don't count. You're an expansion fan. I've been a fan of the Yankees for over 45 years. Whats your question then. Lee pitch great, what can I say?
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 You don't count. You're an expansion fan. I'll give you a gold star for originality, but you're still a troll.
