IT'S VACATION TIME HULKY HUMPERS!!!

Why bother with any other forum?
Forum rules
We once roamed the vast forums of Corona Coming Attractions. Some of us had been around from The Before Times, in the Days of Excelsior, while others of us had only recently begun our trek. When our home became filled with much evil, including the villainous Cannot-Post-in-This-Browser and the dreaded Cannot-Log-In, we flounced away most huffily to this new home away from home. We follow the flag of Jubboiter and talk about movies, life, the universe, and everything, often in a most vulgar fashion. All are welcome here, so long as they do not take offense to our particular idiom.

Ah yes, sorry. Surrounded by soccer all your life it's perfectly understandable you wouldn't recognize an actual sport when you saw one.

I don't think Springsteen plays a sport professionally.

I can make an incredibly convincing argument that he's the greatest athlete in America though.

BY THE WAY!

He's been in England all week. So have you. Why haven't you gone to visit him??

Was he? Didn't know. He's just not that big over here so there wasn't a lot of fuss.

I'll do it, but only because you put me on the payroll.

Isn't baseball basically like cricket (which is a sport you get pretty excited about, if I remember correctly)? Except baseball bats are rounded instead of flat, so it's actually more challenging to hit the ball in baseball.

Nope. Nothing like it. Baseball is Rounders. In Rounders we have round bats. Run around the pitch rather than up and down. Have saves and bases etc.

Cricket, especially test cricket, is a highly technical game involving the weather and the crease and their effect on spin and swerve bowling and the degradation of the bowling pitch over time. It's like throwy chess!

I honestly don't know much about either sport, but I do agree that watching both cricket and baseball is as interesting as watching a chess match.

Is Dalty suggesting that baseball's resemblance to a sport he associates with girls is somehow devalued/less watchable because it reminds him of a sport he associates with girls?

Dalty! If this wasn't 1964, I'd say you were sexist.

It's not so much that he associates it with girls as with the Irish. That's what really devalues it.

I had a bad Guiness experience once and haven't been the same since.
