What are you drinking now?

I get the rules. I don't know the details. For example, I grew up with basketball as my life. I can watch a college basketball game that ends 50-45...extremely low scoring...and someone will say "wasn't that horribly boring?", and I'll respond that I've never seen so much defense and so much away from the ball action in a game...it was great. I never played soccer. I don't notice the nuances. I get bored. It's not a ding on the game...I just don't get it.

And that is why baseball is the true American sport.

Agreed. I love a 1-0 baseball game. Bores most people, but I understand the pitcher v batter game and appreciate the battle.

That is a sport I will never understand. I enjoy playing American football, and I can tolerate watching it when someone else puts it on. Not so much for watching basketball, but I enjoy playing it. Baseball, I don't get it, and can't stand it. I mean, I get the rules, but not the strategy, and definitely don't get the enjoyment. But where I grew up playing football/soccer, others grew up with baseball, so I suppose that's part of it.

And that is why baseball is almost as boring as soccer.

Completely agree.

It's terrible sitting outside in 75 degree weather. The drought helps.

Bespoke bacon is craft bacon...not that mass produced stuff you buy at the super market. They do online sales as well, and we'll worth the money. These jars were 10 a pop and would be absolutely spectacular with horseradish cheese on a cracker

I'll have to look them up.

Baseball has more strategy than any other sport. Chess on grass. If you truly understand it, it is an amazing game to watch. Not the athletic showcase of other games, but strategy and numbers games galore.

The enjoyment: you can yell at the hotdog or beer guy, pay for your food, and eat it... Never losing track of what is happening. Best of all, no soccer fans at the stadium.

Not the artwork I would have chosen for a beer named double d blonde

It is light by style but after Marks hop bombs this beer taste like absolutely nothing.

Fully agree. When you start to understand everything from pitching sequences to hitting and fielding it becomes very entertaining.

I love to watch golf too. And people think it's the same as taking an Ambien and going to sleep. When you realize how hard it is and the strategy that goes into it becomes very interesting and entertaining.

Every sport has it's intricacies. The more I watch hockey the more I see the strategy to it. I can see some strategy in soccer, the problem is that it takes so long to actually get to the point where the strategy has the potential to pay off.

But I digress.

I could see the chess analogy applying to multiple sports. However, I suppose since baseball really is the closest to turn-by-turn (followed by American football) I suppose I could see that. I suppose if I understood it more I'd enjoy it more.

I'm perfectly capable of ordering a better-priced hot dog and beer elsewhere.

And there is no kind of enthusiasm like a proper 12th Man squad. Tifo needs to be exported to ALL sports.

You don't see this in baseball:

To stay OT, still working on the last of the bomber of Winter Warmer.

Also OVECHKIN!!!

Yep. But understanding baseball doesn't happen overnight. When you find yourself saying "I can't believe he threw a breaking ball in that count, with a man on first...", then you get it.

Love, love, love baseball. Grew up watching it and playing little league from t-ball when I was 5 to little league all the way through middle school. Then my mother made me go to a high school that didn't have sports.

Anyway, having this delicious 100% Brett beer. Dry, tart, fruity, and funky.

There were so many things in that post that I don't understand.

I would google it but I try to only research one post a day and didn't know what tinder was... Now that I do.... Best one word post ever.

Love baseball, cannot wait for the season to start! We have a triple A team here that is fun to go see when it isn't 100 degrees.

Water after my 4 mile run. Wife is passed out on the couch, I'll wake her up after I cook dinner.

Spoilsport.

See what I did there?

 

[wobrien]

I picked up some cans of this when I was there last weekend. I enjoyed it and I can imagine it's even better on nitro

They can this now?! I don't have to buy it in $20 750mLs anymore?!

 

[Ridire]

Still drinking Norm, talking to the wife, and not being questioned about my consumption.

Back to soccer - I have made honest attempts to like it, but just cannot get to the point where I understand what's going on away from the ball (the real key to understanding a sport, in my opinion). I have been at points in my life where I could watch hockey and "see" the action away from the puck, so I'm sure I could get soccer if I had enough of a tie to it that I paid attention for a for a few seasons...but, alas, at this stage of my life I am losing track of sports that were very important to me as a youth, let alone pick up new interests. The more time passes, the more I gravitate to baseball, even though I did not really care for the game as a player...I was a speed guy who did well in basketball and football (and ironically, would probably have done better at soccer, due to size).

How is it fresh? The only one I have had was nearly three years old and was a hop bomb!
