Ike and Duda are big boys. What channel are you watching it on?

 

[Swift]

ESPN.

How are the mets doing this year btw?

They have 8 wins after tonight and 4 of them are from Harvey. I think they are 8-7 after tonight.

Fucking nice play by Murphy

 

[Danielson]

Yeah, if you ever want to watch a fun team with a bunch of 20-28 year olds, watch the mets.

I don't really care for NL baseball honestly

 

[Danielson]

Why is that?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I only really care about Oakland/AL West and so that's what I follow. I'll watch other AL teams because we will play them in the playoffs, but the NL just seems irrelevant to the A's.

I can't just sit around and watch a random baseball game like I could basketball or football. I enjoy watching my team but that's about it.

That makes a lot of sense. I follow the NL East more intently

I guess the reason why I watch so much is by the time the mets are over, a few games are just starting and i'm bored out of my mind that late with nothing better to do.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I'll tune in to a Giants game every now and again and I'll watch the Nats if I happen to catch Gio or Stras on the mound.

Playoffs are a little different. I can sit through most any MLB Playoff game for the most part.

 

[Danielson]

Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I thought you were going to say because the pitchers bat in the NL. I hate that argument for why people hate NL baseball.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I enjoy NL baseball and can appreciate it because Oakland played sort of like an NL team for a lot of years the way they depended on fielding and pitching and manufacturing runs. I like both leagues having their own rules, it is unique. I don't, however, like that Selig is adding more interleague games and having them all season long. That is Blue IMO.

 

[Danielson]

Yeah when Astros went to the AL, in order to have an equal amount of games for interleague it required that. I would prefer just having you play your interleague rivals once a year.

EDIT; Series once a year^

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

I think most fans would. Baseball is all about tradition. It is the one sport I really feel that way about. The more you move away from old operating procedures the less I like it.

I agree one 3 game set a year would be perfect, maybe two so you get the home-in-home. We don't need to be playing anyone but the Giants, just like the Mets should only play the Yanks, Dodgers/Angels, ect.
