2002-06-29 10:33:02 PM
Psh. Too much thinking.
 
2002-06-29 10:33:15 PM
I love baseball.

Baseball - Seattle Mariners = (Sleep + Suckage)
 
2002-06-29 10:34:00 PM
Baseball is the best. I learned most of that in my Physics class this past year.

Pretty Interesting...

major league is retarded.....if they strike again i think they should be beaten with a damned trout...all of them
 
2002-06-29 10:37:16 PM
Oh yes!!! The football guy gets his revenge.

Who cares??? mwahahaha

Baseball blows! mwahahaha

For all the non-Americans out there, to get an idea of the game of baseball, picture a Cricket match being played in a monkey's anus.

I will only post this once. Unlike you football-haters out there who constantly have to tell me how much "soccer" sucks and post that stupid Simpsons quote EQAddict was talking about a couple of threads down.
 
2002-06-29 10:38:48 PM
baseball + physics = reflex vomitting
 
2002-06-29 10:39:03 PM
Woo Hoo an article for the Physics major in all of us
 
2002-06-29 10:39:27 PM
It's called AMERICAS GAME damit! Stop calling it baseball!
 
2002-06-29 10:40:35 PM
meh.
 
2002-06-29 10:40:49 PM
Baseball blows. How about the physics of hockey?
 
2002-06-29 10:41:41 PM
well it is getting late out here, it's about time someone posted an article to put me to sleep
 
2002-06-29 10:41:45 PM
What a kick ass game. Why would the authors want to make it boring by talking about science stuff? I bet they like soccer, too.
 
2002-06-29 10:42:00 PM
Broccoli is talking sense here... Listen to the man.
 
2002-06-29 10:44:05 PM
Baseball is quite a queer sport. Everybody know a man with four balls can't walk!
 
2002-06-29 10:46:21 PM
aw, man, i got geek juice all over me. thanks a lot.
 
2002-06-29 10:46:33 PM
Talk about some abuse. Baseball is our nation's past-time.

How can you not like it, and let alone, put it down like that?
 
2002-06-29 10:50:15 PM
i have to laugh at the Euros thinking they'll get back at us for saying soccer sucks, they'll really get under our skin, by insulting baseball. baseball sucks, gee, theres a news flash. thank you, Sir Richard Henry Obvious the Fifth.
 
2002-06-29 10:52:27 PM
-too slow (and people complain about soccer)
-you sweat because it's hot outside, not because you are doing anything strenuous
-intentional walks??? why is this allowed? because the guy is too good?
-fighting is not allowed (see: hockey)
-in fact I'm watching baseball right n-... zzZzZZzzzZZzzz

Please don't hate me. I like America. :)
 
2002-06-29 10:54:07 PM
Cleveland Indians - Bartolo Colon == SuckSuckSuck.

Well listen, in 2008 they're really going to kick some!! Woo. Hoo.

When does Football season start?
 
2002-06-29 10:54:58 PM
Cabes...Baseball isn't that bad, I mean it is quite funny, just look at my team this year, the Rangers, now THAT is funny.
 
2002-06-29 10:56:39 PM
I wish both the Blue Jays and the Expos would fold so that I'll never have to hear about baseball again.
 
2002-06-29 10:59:03 PM
What's funny about the Rangers? Their payroll?
 
2002-06-29 11:02:31 PM
Their payroll and the fact that they are a sub .400 team. With the 5th largest payroll, you would atleast hope to God that they could break .500. I mean the players are having to do Viagra commercials just to get their names mentioned
 
2002-06-29 11:08:10 PM
How are them Expos doing? Lowest payroll. In the race for a wildcard.

Perfect subject...
Did you know? Mike Piazza isn't the only gay player out there... There's someone else...



YES!
It's him!
LMAO

YANKEES SUCK!

i hope this works
 
2002-06-29 11:12:50 PM
Heh, this article is way more interesting than the game is. I love physics, I hate baseball. Even when the two teams in my area, the Dodgers and the Angels, are supposedly kicking some ass this season.

*snore*

Gimme American football and basketball any day of the week over this "everybody stand around while this one guy throws a ball at this other guy" game of boredom. Hell, I even actually watched half the World Cup games of the second and third rounds, at 11:30PM, when I had work the next day. And I don't even like soccer that much! Yet I haven't watched one single baseball game of the hundreds that have been played so far this season.

Baseball. Bah. Go physics!
 
2002-06-29 11:14:33 PM
Hey Cabes you seem to hate baseball so much it is all you talk about. Also Cabes why not put your location in your bio? Trust us we will not stalk you. Pimplefaced losers are not high on our list. But if you feel better hiding on a message board, fly high you shiney diamond.
 
2002-06-29 11:15:19 PM
Cabes:

I have seen you in a few threads recently in the last few hours. Are you bored or are you really that fanactial about soccer ;) Or maybe just bored?
 
2002-06-29 11:16:35 PM
I'm a Canadian, and yet that was almost.... spiritual. The energetic molecular insanity of that one frantic millisecond. Whoo.

cccpzzz

"Shine on, you crazy diamond."

"Factors effecting distance added to a 400 foot fly ball to center field:"

I hope their grammar is not an indicator of their physics.
 
2002-06-29 11:20:30 PM
See this is what I talk about. Personal insults. But that's ok... I don't cry when Bon Jovi fans diss me. I am from Canada (let more personal attacks come). All I seek is revenge for all of the soccer threads this past month.

I am at work and bored. I'm thinking about actually clicking on NSFW links.

For all o' y'all out there who love baseball... Don't sing it, just bring it!!!

Aztex999: I hope their grammar is not an indicator of their physics.

Actually, misspellings and poor grammar are commonplace among scientists - as long as their important scientific superduper ideas are communicated properly, who cares if "effecting" should be replaced by "affecting"?

But put a multiplication sign or an exponent in the wrong place, and you'd better hide in a lead-lined locker before that reactor explodes! LOOK OUT!

(Killing time on FARK before receiving the "we're here, lets go to the bar" call is most excellent.)

Thank you. I don't know why but thank you. Hi Laura.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Sorry.

HA!

Just for shear fun, not trolling, but let's do this little test:
Go to a batting cage and take twenty swings at the 'pro' cage. I bet you may hit three of twenty.
Go to a field and try to kick a ball. I bet you will hit twenty of twenty. Or, have some one throw the ball at you. I bet you will hit twenty of twenty.
 
2002-06-30 12:12:25 AM
How about you go in net and I'll take 20 PKs on you. Will you save even 3 of them? It's a fair comparison if you think about it this way.
 
2002-06-30 12:13:24 AM
Lets make another test. Sit down, and watch someone swinging at those balls for 5 hours. Also, have two or three other people join you. But make it so you cant see the other people, and the guy swinging the bat only dows so once every 5 minutes. Then see how you like it.
 
2002-06-30 12:18:08 AM
If you add beer, I can do either one of those. And, so you know, Cabes, I played for Stanton Prep in Jax as a forward and went to state. I probably could block a high number of penalty kicks. Sorry. I enjoyed playing it, but I have never enjoyed watching it.

All dick, or just gay dick? You seem to know a lot about dick. Do you play baseball?
 
2002-06-30 12:36:18 AM
How can anyone be dissing on physics or baseball? Baseball is an amazing game, not that soccer or other sports aren't. And physics, as all sciences do, affect us in our everyday lives.
 
2002-06-30 12:44:06 AM
Just gay dick, straight dick stays away from baseball
 
2002-06-30 12:48:16 AM
I find it hard to believe that more Farkers don't like baseball. It's all about strategy. The conspiring between a pitcher and catcher on how best to deal with the guy at the plate. The jobs of the fielders to best determine where the guy's gonna hit the ball so they can get their play off. The job of the batter to try guessing pitches and hit them well enough so that they aren't fielded quickly enough (or at all). Then there's the workings of the coaches on when to substitute players, determine when to steal a base, bring in a new pitcher, etc.

Baseball is mostly strategy and statistics, very much a mind game.

Azz That looks like Tom Cruise with him, but we all kow that he isn't gay.
