It would be better if we filled the seats for a sport that the country actually cares about.



So should less people go to the baseball games?

If we are lucky it bothers the opposing pitcher as much as it bothers the true intellectuals of the sport.

Who cares as long as LSU's baseball team scores more points than the other team?

I was a LHP in college and i loved it when everybody would yell balk because it made me feel like i had a really good move. When Don Sutton was a commentator for the Braves he used to always say, "If you aren't balking, you aren't trying hard enough."

This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine.

There are 13 moves on the mound that can constitute a balk.

The average baseball fan knows ZERO to ONE of them.

Just shut up, people.

I always think it's funny. I think most do it just for fun. I don't find it annoying at all. Just people having fun.

Did you ever think that might be the reason why people yell it?

How about fans that yell "Overrated" when their team beats a good one. You are basically chanting that you just beat an ordinary team.....not a good team.
