nope, not a one. Why on earth would a gay man enjoy a sport with men standing around in tight pants?
To be fair, I don’t watch baseball for the guys. I like it because it’s an engaging sport and it’s a lot of fun to watch and discuss.
I can think of all manner of sports that have attractive men as players, but I don’t watch them. To me, it’s about what you’re getting out of the experience, not necessarily ogling for nine innings.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
But, if you can watch a sport you already enjoy – and there is some eye candy thrown in – that’s a great bonus. Not ashamed to admit I look (and often) and miss the tight unis.
"Curve: The loveliest distance between two points." ~ Mae West
Oh, absolutely. My point — and perhaps I wasn’t clear — was that it’s not the sole reason I watch. Icing tastes great on any cake, in my assessment.

He didn’t like icing? Because honestly, I’m not a big fan of icing. I was using it as a metaphor.
I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing Matt Cain.
My window overlooked the college’s baseball field. When he discovered that, he was suddenly sticking more than half his body out to check out the shortstop’s butt. That, I think, was his sole reason for caring about baseball.

''We cover the outfield like kudzu covers the land around here" - Bobby Cox, 2004
I figured as much...
but I’m sure that factor doesn’t hurt your enjoyment of the game. But if all you were wanting to do was look at attractive men, I’d assume there are better places to do it besides a baseball game, cause there’s certainly some fugly ones out there too.

Nope. I look at [said girl] like she’s crazy, and say, “If you want sexy, go to a women’s college volleyball game. They practically run around wearing panties…..and…….sighhhhh.”
THAT is sexy. Guys know why they go to volleyball games.

So do I. It’s not like I think they’re ugly. It’s just that I don’t find it debilitating to my train of thought. It’s the same as the difference between women who like baseball, and also think that the guys look good; and the women who go to baseball games and only ever talk about how cute the guys are.

I hope that *gulp * Derek Lowe can play stopper
HUMAN TEAMMATE HEYWARD JASON FOR FRANCHISE MVP AFTER TAKING MATTERS INTO OWN HANDS AND REMOVING MCLOUTH NATE FROM LINEUP
Pattern?
On Sundays…with Lowe pitching we seem to lose. Or maybe its just Sundays period. Lowe definitely isn’t who I want on the mound but how the pitching has been going he will be good as any.
well i hope you're wrong
cuz i started him in fantasy today. but it’d be great if we didn’t lose a 4-game set at home to these assholes.
Or maybe it's just Lowe period? LOL

Yunel not doing too bad with the Blue Jays
3-9 , 1 BB
So far, glad to see him get off to an ok start at least
I know we have Diaz and he is doing his job but our lineup really looks bad against lefties
Mac, J-Hey, Hinske almost become useless. And it seems like our righties struggle against them also. That’s why I shudder to think of playing the Yanks in the WS.

''We cover the outfield like kudzu covers the land around here" - Bobby Cox, 2004
Might not be that bad in the playoffs, check this out. Of the teams currently in the playoff picture, here is the lefties they have to offer that are likely to pitch in a 5 or 7 game series:
Reds: Travis Wood is their only lefty, and he isn’t likely to be in their top 3 starters
Cardinals: Jaime Garcia – likely would get a start as their #3 guy
Padres: Only left is Clayton Richard, he would probably only get a start in a 7 game series
Phillies: Moyer and Hamels. Hamels will get 2 starts, Moyer probably one
Mets: Santana and Niese are in their top 3 (barring a Maine recovery). Not clear what role Oliver Perez will have
Giants: Zito, Bumgarner, and Sanchez. Lots of lefties, but Cain and Lincecum will get 2 starts each.
Rockies: De La Rosa and Francis
Dodgers: Kershaw gets 2 starts.
So it looks like from the lefty standpoint, we match up best with the Reds and Padres. For a lot of reasons, I think we would be happy with either of those two (as opposed to the Phillies or Cardinals)

I really don’t see how that’s any different from a sac fly, which is considered a good way to score a run. And, with this type of play, he still has a chance to beat it out, and almost did.

Went something like this....
The other day, after the game, BMac was leaving and came across camera equipment guy (I think) putting stuff away. He realized he (BMac) had forgotten something in the clubhouse and asked if he could borrow the cart (golf) to go back and get it because he was really tired/exhausted.
The guys says he can’t give him the cart, but he’ll take him back and forth. The guy gives him a ride back to the clubhouse. BMac goes inside to get what he forgot and while there, he took the time to go to the bat rack, get a bat and autograph it for the guy and gave it to him for his trouble.

It's one of those...
like Basic, Usual Suspects, among others, where I don’t know what, if any of it, was “real”. Very freaky, but very very well done.
even if i told you the ending
it wouldn’t make any sense. you would just thing, “huh?” seriously. it’s all about the journey. and if i TRIED to explain to you the series of events in the movie, it wouldn’t work without seeing it.

I am just pointing out the fact
That the only realistic way we dump either of those guys is to take more salary on in return…
Because Guitterez is cheaper than both of them, and better. so it makes no sense to move him.
More than likely to move Nate/Melky it would have to be like for an Alfonso Soriano type contract
by UltimaParadox on Jul 18, 2010 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Well, that's the point
Most teams that have CFers with decent bats do NOT have spare ones, and usually, they cost a lot to get.
In short
It’s not easy to just go out and get someone to play center. Those guys tend to very quickly get locked up to long-term deals. I would go for Matt Kemp if he was actually for sale, but that seems to have been mostly rumor.
Anyone from the Dodgers will probably be fair game after the season with the divorce thing really starts to get going
'Bama fan since birth, NIners & Hawks fan since '86, Braves fan since '90
Championships: 'Bama - check. Braves - work in progress. Niners - playoff berth is hoped for. Hawks....maybe in my lifetime
He's one of the young pieces they're hoping to build around
The price will likely be more than he’s actually worth.
True...thought he was up around melky and nate's age...
'Bama fan since birth, NIners & Hawks fan since '86, Braves fan since '90
Championships: 'Bama - check. Braves - work in progress. Niners - playoff berth is hoped for. Hawks....maybe in my lifetime
He's actually older than Melky
But he’s better, and he’s further behind on his arbitration clock, so they have him under control for three years beyond this.
Yes but Nate sucks against lefties
If Jason Heyward were to hit a home run off of you, you would have to fight the urge to thank him.

A warning for that? He get grazed by an inside pitch. I’d argue umps are more responsible for the types of reactions we get these days than anything else. Players aren’t afraid of inside pitching anymore and take offense when a pitcher comes in. Just plain ridiculous. I wonder how Nolan Ryan would have handled that situation last night.

I think
He was just due some manner of regression. To be fair, it’s only been three games, and he’s not going to bat .500 for the rest of the year, but he was a better player than he had showed to date.
Heck, getting three days off during the all star break might have had more to do with this than anything else.
true,
but i’m sure he just feels better without a manager that’s not your biggest fan.

he was not good last time out.
