saying we need more showboating, bat tossing. USA baseball is too puritanical and "no fun."

Baseball is just fucking awesome. Been watching Cubs/Sox past few days and enjoying the hell out of it. I don't need any assholes flipping bats.

2 out of 3 ain't bad! Baseball is not dying and will only continue to grow with the death of football. DO we need more blacks in baseball??!?!? Only if they want to play damnit! Chris Rock can shove it up his ass!

No.

Haven't you figured it out yet? Everyone on this board knows everything and their opinion is the only opinion that matters. The Bernsy virus has been infecting people here for years and they don't even realize it!

Baseball is by far the silliest major sport. I dont know where this idea of "no fun in baseball" came from.

Anyone who uses the phrase "death of football" deserves to be told they are wrong.

It may change or decline from the astronomical popularity it has now but it isn't going anywhere.

That's such a Bernsy response. He is so in your head and you don't even know it.

Baseball's unwritten rules can lick my taint.

Didn't they demonize Santo in part for his "showboating?"

Every organized structure created by human beings has protocols or "unwritten rules". Why should baseball be any different?

Look, I know that look, all this, I mean, all this talk about the code and this code and that code and it's code outside, and it's all just a bunch of hooey, but when you have a guy who was clicking his heels, I mean, this isn't about showing people up, this is about being a damn fool! and really, what it really is, I mean, for the love of god, I mean, he never won anything! He acted like that and his team never won anything. I don't mind a bat flip now and then, I think I had a plate of bat flip now when I was in Korea, but what we're talking about here, in point of fact, is, well, I mean, it's a guy who's an assbag, and he did a lot of assbag things, so go on and celebrate, just don't be an assbag when you do it. That's all. I don't think that's really hard to sort out at all.

Point taken, but the unwritten rules tend to lean more toward minutia that don't really affect the outcome of the game. Therefore, they aggravate me.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

All "unwritten" rules govern seemingly trivial or tangential domains (like sports etiquette)--that's why they are not formally codified as rules.
