I agree with this. Jomboy's channel is utterly brilliant.

It's my own fault. I really don't know why I thought I'd have the time for another hobby.

Argo's right. It's our fault. We came on too strong.

Emotions are understandably running high right now. Let's not say something we'll later regret.

Jorge has proven the obvious. When the Astros exit early, baseball fandom suffers. Time to admit that MLB needs their scapegoats to go deep in the playoffs in the Manfred era. Hate = ratings

On the contrary. But we have an MLB thread. Jorge isn't interested any more, so we can talk baseball over there or in the minor league thread.

it's our national past time..its a time of joy..its the sport that starts in the spring and lasts until fall..bats and balls..newly oiled gloves..get to know your teammates again and meet their new wives..if you're a pitcher on a road trip you can bring your golf clubs and get in a round..position players not so much..there are buckets of free bubble gum everywhere..you get to try to sign baseballs before or after the game..many fans with throw shit at you while you're playing..you go home and do the same thing the next day or night

Baseball is the soul... the cock...the pussy... the small of a woman's back... the hangin' curveball... high fiber... good scotch... believing the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap... believing Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, believing there ought to be a Constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter, believing in the sweet spot, soft core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and believing in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. That’s what baseball is, Jorge Brown.

baseball is a team sport...lets say we have a 2 run lead and brought Jorge into close the game..he gives up a 3 run dinger..then what do you do? You go to him as he's sulking in the corner of the dugout and you look him in the eyes and you put you arms on his shoulders and tell him we got this but you do owe us drinks..all is forgiven..its baseball
