They're the same and they both suck.

Baseball is for old men, who still call African Americans Negroes and Coloreds. [yes with Robinson, I left the door open for you, but my sentiments remain the same.]

"The beauty of baseball is not having to explain it."

I don't remember right off hand who said that, but it is true. If one doesn't see the beauty of it, one never will.

I love baseball arguments.

The distilled anti-baseball argument:

"Baseball sucks, it's slow and boring."

The distilled pro-baseball argument:

"Baseball doesn't suck, you're just too dumb to understand it."

I don't think it has to do with intelligence as much as personality. Baseball is probably not the sport most conducive to the ADHD-type mentality.

And us Baseball fans would do well to not bother trying to explain the joys of the game to those types. They really will never get it.

Few things in life are better then being in a MLB park on a sunny afternoon with a dog in one hand and a _____/Coke in the other hand.

Which is your team?

I'm a diehard Orioles fan.
