MLB Game Day geltz it wrong
-
I do not understand what happened on the 4th pitch.
I didn't see the game and there are no highlights of this play so I assume what happened was this:
- Pitch #4 was hit by Adam Lind and caught. Lind claimed his "Dog's Life" and remained in but had to bat holding the barrel and hitting with the handle.
- Pitch #5 was taken by Lind.
- Pitch #6 was a called strike and he was finally retired.
Note: Lind could have taken his "Dead Dog's Life" and remained in, batting with his eyes closed, but he chose not to.
Hope this helps.

Thanks. I was previously unfamiliar with the "Dog's Life" and "Dead Dog's Life" rules. Learn something new every day.

Do you mean the sport that you call football but should be called handegg, or football as in the sport that everyone else calls football (where feet regularly make contact with the ball)?
I always liked Jeremy Clarkson's explanation of Rugby:

They are seldom used at the highest level, which is a shame.
I have been lobbying for years to have Rush Goalie introduced in profession football (i.e. soccer)

In proper football, you often get a fall like that if one person slightly brushes another's coiffure.
+1 would chuckle againI have no clue what you're talking about. We're talking about football.
I cant help noticing neither of those fellows has a ball on or around their foot, are you sure you are not talking about wussy boxing?

Quite sure.

Really?
one is a picture of one man punching another while both are wearing full body armor,
one is a picture of a dude with some gloves and a hat on but no other armor or even clothes.
and the former are less wussy?
-

So your logic says that punching a man without armor is less wussy than punching one with armor? TDEMSYR

i demand that we have a fight to decide who is the real retard.
I will start.
verily thou shalt sucketh on my member, for thou hath partaken of many a member before, brigand!

:(
can we be friends again now?

-
Were we not friends before?
Are we playing that game where every response has to be a question?
-
-
Will it annoy @blakeyrat?
-
-
-
Maybe we can answer your question here?
-
did I answer correctly?
-
-
Would you like to?
Upon reflection and based on my experience in the poll thread, no, I would not like to play that game.

Boxing is two shirtless men in silk shorts fighting each other for a belt and a purse.

I will bite my thumb at them; which is a disgrace to them, if they bear it!

I think that's the only non-card-whoring "injury" I've ever seen in futbol ( it's only broken, shut up and play ).

Warning: This post contains generalisations, national stereotyping and "it was better in my day" overtones
It wasn't always this way though... When I first started going to football matches there was no such thing as "simulation" i.e. pretending to be fouled/hurt when you were not. Football was a contact sport and a certain amount of physicality was expected and allowed.
I'd say that at times this stifled skill as the more skilled players would and could get kicked off the pitch. This was typified by the English leagues being full of players with attributes like "hard working", "committed", "tireless" whereas your continentals and South Americans had more skillful players with a few hard-men protectors sprinkled in.
Sometime during the 1990's there was an influx of European players and refereeing changed to protect them. Contact became more strictly punished and diving increased, as typified by Jurgen Klinsmann.

When I played as a kid, only the Mexicans pulled that shit.

and "it was better in my day" overtones
I miss the days when you could go to a hockey fight and a game would break out.
I'm also of the opinion for games like football ( American ), soccer, futbol, etc… If you're getting paid millions of dollars a game ( or other equiv ), I want to see blood, Bring back real hurley!!!

Well, then you haven't watched a lot of soccer. I mean, the last worldcup had several injuries.
Including an open headwound (Schweinsteiger) and a cerebral concussion (Kramer) in the finale alone. The guy with the concussion was so confused after the bodycheck that he actually asked the referee if it was already the final game and he has no memories of the game at all...
Not to mention that the picture I posted is not the only one where a player's foot or leg bends in the wrong direction. And there's also the injury where someone's upper leg is split open so you can see the muscle.

Probably karma. He spent more time diving during the game than not.

ISTM, that for every real soccer injury there are 10—20 wussy dives, so when one of those divas actually do get hurt, well meh… Boy who cried wolf, and all that.

I suspected. But then what should I call citizens of Mexico?

Doesn't matter. Even if you don't call them anything you're a racist because progressives.

That is the correct answer.

By the way, that usage of the word "privilege" is a handy indicator. Whenever someone uses it non-ironically, I know that I can safely ignore everything else they have to say.

I don't know what that is. Google thought maybe you were talking about supernovae. Personally, I'm OK with that word so long as you're scolding a child.

Someone from Iowa, obviously.

I like the fact that doesn't help, given that I'm not going to google it. I'll assume that anyone who's one of those types is as humorless as your typical progressive, though.

Well, they'd probably appreciate our humor just fine. But, we probably have a few IA folk in our ranks, even, so that's not saying much.
