Did I hear correctly that this was a sellout crowd for a minor league game? That doesn't happen too often. Hilarious team names probably a big part of that, imho.

social distanced sellout, so like 1600 people. but not bad honestly! it's like, the first live sports you can attend since March in North America pretty much

minor league (affiliated or independent) ball rules live. nothing like $10 seats and $5 tallboys and a free shirt for Garlson's Hyundai on Route 20 and fireworks after the game from a little launcher they put out in center




thanks Saoshyant and nesamdoom for the sigs!

the goldeyes are in the same independent league as the Chicago dogs, but I think this season they're not playing in Winnipeg, presumably because of travel issues

Basketball is a good sport but it is not as good as the ones I mentioned. The most exciting basketball game of all time is not nearly as exciting as the most exciting baseball game or tennis match. Basketball is good for highlights though.

s.m.d.h. if u can't admit the supremacy of a game in which rules about fouls are so ambiguous that refs can literally just decide games and only feel guilty enough about all the fouls they gave out in the first half that they'll finally balance it out in the second when its too late for the losing team to benefit

Is there another sport besides baseball where a manager can be ejected and then return to the dugout disguised with a fake mustache?

Or when a manager just decides they want to leave and tells an umpire "I'm tired of watching these guys play like garbage, I'm going to pretend to get mad and start yelling, please throw me out of here and put me out of my misery." lol

No fake mustache though. Let's not lose sight of what is important here.

Also, let's not forget how chill baseball was in the 1960's, as exemplified by Mickey Mantle.

One day nearer spring
one of my all time favorite baseball moments was izzy alcantara kicking the catcher before rushing the mound. it was a minor league pawsox game but this, and many other legendary instances of douchebaggery, kept izzy from becoming a full time major leaguer despite his immense talent.



it was a incredibly unique strategy not seen in the game before or since :hai:

quote:

On July 3, 2001, after being brushed back a second time by Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Red Barons pitcher Blas Cedeño, Alcántara turned around, kicking catcher Jeremy Salazar, karate-style, in the mask before charging the mound, throwing an unsuccessful punch at Cedeño before turning around as other players joined the fight until he was tackled by Kevin Orie. The incident cost Alcántara a six-game suspension and his spot on the International League's All Star squad.

My teams are doing things and winning games and signing 23 year old Russians and falling down in the outfield and destroying the last vestiges of their projected hall of fame careers. It's great. Sports is great.
