MLB Strike? Place Your Bets
 

I say yes. Only because its all a conspiracy against the Twins who Bud knows will win the World Series. !uck you Bud. !uck you. (my f key is broken... wait)
Everyone who guesses right will recieve a special gift from me.... mmmmk greeeat.

stop the afhrod whatever his name is shit u asshats!

Yes they will.

Why, you ask?

Because baseball completley and utterly SUCKS.

Baseball is so boring it shouldn't be on TV in the first place. Americas past time...pshhh. Whatever.

Hey, I played baseball for 3 years. I even saw a game in SD a couple years back. But to watch em on TV is just disgusting. When playoffs come, I guess its ok, but untill then, strike away!

It's fun to watch when you have a team to root for.

They'll strike cause they are greedy ass bastards, I mean come on they make a hell of alot of money to play a game. M16:

That is very true. And since I don't...Baseball Sucks!!

I like colege baseball. Actually, I prefer the college brand over the pro brand in any sport. Yes I think MLB will strike. MLB will lose many many fans because of this.

If they strike in baseball again, i will never watch another game, hockey and lacrosse for me!

GO CALGARY FLAMES AND GO CALGARY ROUGHNECKS!!

rofl roughnecks, im not talking about indoor lacrosse, im talking about the MLL. and go red wings!

What the hell is MLL?

Roughnecks are NLL.
I've been to about 4 games. Their great. Toth rules em all.

I hope to god they strike. I hope that in turn, nobody ever supports Major League Baseball again. Time to cut the shit with the multi-million dollar contracts. It needs to be like it was back in the day, when baseball players lived in your neighborhood and drove cars just like you. Thats why we fell in love with this game.

GO BLACKHAWKS! *Checks Behind him* GO TAMAKI RAIDERS!

if i got paid that much money i sure as hell wouldn't be complaining

Yeah, well the only reason they are complaining is cause they're little whiney Bitches! hake:

Oh GOD i can not tell you how much hockey sucks......its degrading really...

I sure do hope so. Then we wont have to put up with that garbage on my tv the rest of the year. Hopefully, if they do strike, it will be the final blow to a dying sport and they will be able to schedule quality sports, like truck pulls and competitive basket weaving.

[quote:ff8f6]Oh GOD i can not tell you how much hockey sucks......its degrading really...[/quote:ff8f6]

I'll....pretend.......you....didn't just...say...that.... mad:


I love baseball. I've played it most of my life. But, enough is enough. If they strike, I'll have to think long and hard about supporting anything MLB related.

I hope Alex Rodriguez ends up on the street giving head for coke and quarters.


Zone

who cares about their stupid strike i dont give a damn. they could all end up in cok for all i care

well at least fox will show Stargate SG-1 on schedule instead of at midnight.
HOOAH!

Ya well they didnt, but I can't give my great prozes away because I dont know whjo voted no. cry:

They signed a SHITTY contract, I wish there was a strike to deal this mess out

Ahhhh, it's refreshing to see these people finally pull their head's outta their a$$e$ and get on with the games. I would've hated to see the AL West race end with a strike.

Gad Damnit!!

Why did they have to reach a deal!

Baseball sucks and it messes up all the god damn TV schedules. I don't think any TV stations should carry baseball.

HOCKEY RULES ALL!!!!!

I CAN'T WAIT FOR HOCKEY SEASON!!

FUCK BASEBALL.

That's all you really need to hear. Football, Basketball, Futbol - all these sports carry with themselves a dignity, and a fucking more GRUELING regime of physicality than BASEBALL (not to mention managing to sell out fucking arenas), and yet they still lace up their boots and get out there when its game time.

Sure BASKETBALL is littered with pistol-whipping, coach-strangling, blow-blowing, girlfriend-murdering fucks - but god damn. They get paid, and boy do they go out there and earn their money.

This isn't fucking about repsect, or fait treatment. How badly can a fucking millionaire be getting treated. If you wanted to toss feces at me for about 3 hours a day, for a baseball season - step right up. I'm still a millionaire when a french model with a poodle tail on is cleaning my shit off.

Hell - I could have her eat it off if I were loaded like these guys.

It's just sick that 200 millionaires are even thinking about striking again.

Tell you what though - BASEBALL strikes...that's it. They're done. This sport cannot and WILL NOT dictate anymore shit to the folks who pay their salaries - the fans.

[edited]

Guess there is no strike. Fuck. This could have taken away the stain that is BASEBALL. We were this close to getting the WWE as the "national pastime" -

very well said


i always thought football was really considered more of a national pastime then baseball, because it is, like you said, carried with more dignity.

Seriously don't even post when you don't even know half the politics of baseball. It's much much more than "us players need lots more money"
Do a little research before you post and sound like a dumbass. Just a heads up for ya.

You're a baseball fan, but I'll still try to respect you for 1 minute and a half while I answer this post -

First off - it's not about fucking players right. It's about fucking money. If you think anyone has ever fucking "struck" over ethics you're out of your mind. People strike for TWO reasons; safety on the job - and money. That's it. And I cant tell you the last time I heard some poor ball-player getting clubbed to death by a former disgruntled hot-dog vendor.

[quote:704d8]"It came down to us playing baseball or having our reputations and life ripped by the fans," said Steve Kline, the Cardinals' player representative.

"Baseball would have never been the same if we had walked out."[/quote:704d8]

Even this poor punk seems to realize what the score is. Doesn't matter what the concession/demands are - ::cough::fans::cough:: wouldn't have put up with this shit. Not when the lowest player salary hovers around 200,000 (soon to be higher). Sorry MATEY but it's pretty hard to relate to the POOR, LITTLE MAN who's pulling in 300 g's a year.

So teams get a temporary reprieve on cancellation. Great. Good for them. They only had to risk destroying the American version of the game in the first place.

Well dook on mate.

Jesus, ED, I haven't seen you post in ages.

well yes its obviously about money but its much deaper than you seem to think.

They get payed a ton of money to play a fucking game, they need to quit their whining.

Got rid of DSL. 1942 coming out (if it aint already here..::shrugs::), then I'll hop back on, as well as AA. Of course this time around I think I'll go with PACBELL or AT and T.

I'm with the old battle cry though that EA fucked this game up by not supporting it. Oh well. I hear rumblings of AA 2. That sounds neato.

And JUJU? - These players werent threatening to strike as a metaphor for "innocent"-Afghani lives - they were striking to get a better piece of the pie. When things are materialistically motivated, they dont go THAT deep.

Sorry, but it doesnt.

Well, I finally finished me map, so you'd best download it now, Mr :)

WB and all that.

Holy flying spam!, we actually agree on something Ed, its always been about money, the strike in '94 was about money and the one that they were planning on was about money.

FUCK BASEBALL THE COLLEGE SEASON "OFFICIALLY" STARTS TOMORROW

Yea, I'm going to DL it - but I'm just gonna be able to test it out without connecting to the INTERNET - theres no fucking way I'm gonna try to play this thing on a MODEM dial-up. I think I'll get around to BROADBAND in a month or so.

At the very least - I'll have it when 1942 comes out.

Theres no one on this piss-stain called a Message Board that can deny picking (and subsequently falling in love with) that game when it comes out.

As far as JUJU is concerned, you have yet to give any reason why it ISNT about money here. This is a sport man. These people arent protesting American Agression against IRAQ.

And looke looke - another one of my threads shut down by a Forum-Nazi.

Ahhh - the good old days.

I don't think bf1942 was as good as everyone expected. I won't be buying it.

first post on this page there lil' buddy
