It's not nonsense. Well in your opinion it is. In mine it's fucking classless. If you are stealing bases in a 10-2 game in the 9th inning that's fucking lame.

Re: Stupid Rules In Sports
Stealing bases up by 8 runs in the 9th inning isn't playing hard. Again, agree to disagree. I think if you asked every player in the majors if this was ok most would disagree. If they wouldn't why don't you see this more? Why don't you see teams throw bombs in football when they are up by 6 touchdowns in the 4th quarter?cutuphalfdead wrote:People shouldn't be offended when their opponent plays hard until the final out.BigRedLedbetter wrote:Agree to disagree I guess.

Shouldn't the blame in that type of situation lay with they team that went out and started fighting the opponent because they had their feeling hurt instead of with the team that was playing baseball?BigRedLedbetter wrote:Agree to disagree I guess.

It usually is, yeah. I just think it's particularly stupid when a team does it as some kind of retaliation for their own ineptness.BigRedLedbetter wrote:That isn't right as well. Brawling in baseball is stupid.

Re: Stupid Rules In Sports
If you don't like something like that instead of head hunting brush someone back and be done with it. There is a way to play the game and a way not to. Starting brawls and running up the score are both wrong IMHO.philpritchard wrote:It usually is, yeah.
