Not a big fan of baseball but I just saw the most chickturd thing ever. For those of you who know what a sidewinder pitcher is. Astro's vs NYM's. Tonight. This sidewinder is throwing the ball and bouncing it off the ground one to two times before it crosses the batters box. What's baseball going to do next? Start throwing under hand. Just another example of how cockeyed corporate will go to win. Games tied 6 to 6. Makes me wanna puke.

What's your point? There have been sidewinders and submarine pitchers for ages. If anything, it's more rare now than it was 20 or 30 years ago. Today, you can just about count the guys who throw a true sidearm or lower slot on one hand.

What the hell is the "corporate" comment doing in there?

He's gotta blame someone, and Bush didn't do it.

No really, I've never seen anyone do something that stupid in baseball before. But then I'm not much of a fan. Just looked stupid and weird to me. Didn't know the game had sunk so low. Damn ya think they'll start taking drugs next? Or is that another permitted play?

Excuse me but all baseball teams are owned by corporations. Anybody who owns a team is incorporated. If I win the lotto the first thing I do is get a lawyer and incorporate. Did you miss something in your college ventures.

Don't hate because they're different. American baseball players have been to used to overhand pitches. I don't know if any of you guys followed the World Baseball Classics last year but the asian submarine pitchers from Japan and Korea effectively shut down the all star USA team batting lineup. The ball has a tendency to rise as it gets towards the plate, throwing the batters off. Don't rule it out as unfair because we don't know how to counter it. Adapt and overcome!

mgeoffriau · 09-01-2006, 08:43 PM

Just because I can.

So your argument is that corporate ownership is pushing pitchers to switch to a submarine motion?

Keep talking. It's getting funnier.

No my arguement is that corporate ownership makes the rules. It's the first time I've seen em bouce a ball off the ground. I can see you explaining the rules to a kid. You'd say something like " hey ya little dumb**** this is the way it is". Now that's your kind of funny.

I can see why a lot of people are not into baseball your replys really suck.
