It’s true. Baseball has sexual relations exclusively with members of its own gender.

Soccer is with out a doubt the better sport. the ball is only in play for like two minutes in a game of baseball. Soccer there is unstopped play for an hour and a half! plus baseball is gay

Pants to Josh for mentioning Cookie Dough. Yum.

Pants to John for making me laugh when he changed the spelling of “footie” to “footy”

And two pants to Josh for winning.

Final (soccer-sized) score, 3-1.

Go DisAstros!

[...] I’m still reeling from my mauling at the hands of baseball apologist Josh yesterday, but it’s only fair to admit that I was well [...]

just make sure your manpris don’t have cargo pockets in them, John.

Josh, I like how you felt like you had to announce that it was Daniel’s comment. Anyone who’s met Daniel knows that no one else routinely elects people as chosen leaders of made-up villages and cities. One time he elected our friend Bill Mayor of Cockopolis, and I think Bill wept and asked for a key to the city.

Also, in light of my last comment, I’m still only taking myself half-seriously, though I have been genuinely shaking my head in disbelief at the comments here. I am actually getting into baseball, but it’s nothing on the beautiful game.

So, I award myself awesome corduroy flares, and all of you American Flag-adorned huge puffy shorts (so you can lend them to your sporting heroes with the large posteriors).

Dear God.

You’re all misguided.

Meredith, I essentially made football=world peace a major part of my argument and you think I was taking myself seriously?

I’m not naive about drugs, I’m just not American; drugs in sport is an American disease in the way that hooliganism was once an English one. FOOTBALL ORGANISATIONS HAVE BEEN TESTING FOR DRUGS FOR YEARS, UNLIKE BASEBALL WHICH JUST STARTED!!!

Match-fixing is a fair point, though it’s not at “all levels”. What about basketball?

Football is incredibly strategic.

I’m genuinely terrified that you all like baseball so much and now believe in the power of brainwashing through state education and media.

I also forgot to mention the World Cup is awesome and the World Baseball Classic is lame.

Flops are called dives, and please watch more games before you conclude that everyone does it.

MARADONA IS AWESOME THE HAND OF GOD WAS ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS I’VE EVER SEEN!!!

Thanks for reading and commenting everyone! I’m in awe of your support for your national game of glorified rounders.

It really depends on whether you are at the stadium watching in person, or watching it on T.V. They are both fantastic to watch in person (I would watch either one if in person), but when watching on the tube, I want to watch football because I get 45 minutes (plus stoppage time) each half of totally uninterupted play (no stupid commercials). On the tube, baseball gets so boring. Too many commercials!!!!!
