My Guy! Called North to discuss the highly debated 'Kids or No Kids' at the game.

And Yes Gary is really my plumber

Was he the guy who kicked Zach's ass as well.

I missed Gary somehow. How did he fare against Mike's "If I argue my point progressively louder it makes it more true" argument tactic?

3 and 4 year-olds don't belong at a game if they can't behave themselves. If Mike just would have said that, there'd be no argument. Instead he brings up this inane line of reasoning that if someone won't remember the game when they are older, they don't belong there. What about how the subconscious shapes us?

And what the hell is an "adelt"?

Did I hear Fred say that he left his newborn nephew crying in the room for a hour and a half? He said he didnt have a fever and wasnt sick, but it was 9:30 and time to go to bed. Well Fred, maybe he was HUNGRY! I thank god he doesnt have kids and I would file a complaint against that fat ass. I

Something you won't find in the host's chair from 6-10 AM--at least not IQ-wise.

Nas, maybe I wasn't clear. I disagree completely with Mike's reasoning that just because the child won't remember the game as he gets older he shouldn't be taken to the game. That is faulty reasoning. There are many things that happened to all of us - good and bad - that we don't have conscious memory of but that shape who we are. It's very important for parents to bond with their kids, and if that happens at a ball game, great. Also, there is something to be said for the contemporaneous enjoyment of the moment without consideration of memories.

The point I tried to make, and obviously failed, is that all parents have to make a judgment as to when their children will be able to sit through a game and act appropriately. I wasn't trying to tell anyone what age that is. From my own experience, we took my first boy to the Sox game when he was 4. We got through about 4 innings before he got bored (and full of $1.00 hot dogs). He got antsy and rather than bother those around us, we left. When he was 6, we went to a Bulls game. He was older and there was more going on so he made it through the whole game.

I can relate. We took my son to his first Sox game when he was 11 months old. He surprised me with how he was able to quietly follow most of the game at such an early age. But he started to get restless and cranky around the 8th inning so we left rather than to disrupt the people around us.

I have taken children many time to Sox games. They had a blast. I would sooner sit through a game with kids than Nort.

Kids can be obnoxious. The parent does have to know when to bail out.

Take a kid fishing sometime and see what happens. I had a 5 and 6 yo in an area a couple real fisherman were trying to work. Kids got so nutty and loud after a bit that the only thing to do was get off the lake. Why wreck someone else's day?

God knows what North said. I heard something about dogs being better than kids and bailed out myself.
