One of the first baseball games I attended was at Angels’ Stadium - against Seattle. I was sitting in the right field area. When The Mariners came out to field a guy behind me shouted to Susuki “Ichiro you suck!” Everyone around laughed, but I thought it very unfair as Ichiro is a damn good player.

My companion explained that it was just gamesmanship.

Total NBA dress, only you are not in the NBA, and, they don’t wear caps.

That wasn’t tonight was it? ‘Just got back from Angel Stadium where Seattle beat them 5-2. Good game though. From my attention span Ichiro was at least 2 for 3 & maybe better still. And once he gets on the base pads, wow, is he fast.

1) You’re an imbecile by attaching monolithic philosophical outlook to a geographical location, as if because of where one LIVES they are irredeemably worthless.

2) You’re a disgrace to this country and this site. I don’t understand how someone so openly hostile to half of the team (conservatives/libertarians) because of their geographical location and so anti-American is not blacklisted as a troll.

Got your attention. You see how to actually get some attention now, we are fighting Marxists. I believe in states rights you are obviously a Federalist. You get what you deserve.

You Yankees sure are statists at heart, it isn't hard to bring it out.

Remember the bottom of a Federal boot is not a tasty thing.

BTW, Jim Robinson, the Founder of Free Republic is secesh himself. So you are the troll.

Your "team" up there, begats us RINO after RINO, so ware your Yankee badge with pride LOL.

begats=begets

LOL!

Federalism IS about states rights!

Wow.

Now I’m a stastist. Wow. Talk about missing the mark.

How long do your tin-foil hats last before needing to be replaced?

[NucSubs]

And BTW, somehow I doubt JimRob is “secesh”. Somehow I doubt he is anti-American or thinks all Yankees suck or that he wishes this country was destroyed in a war.

[rockrr]

LOL.

I’m always amused by bozos who feeeeeel the need to prop their POV by name-dropping. Says something about the “quality” of their argument...

'The Texas Rangers organization considers that shirt to be profane.'"

The Rangers implemented a code of conduct for fans several years ago after some people complained they were offended by shirts

Texas State Senator Blasts Perry For Secessionist Talk

The only way to settle this is for the rest of the nation to secede from Texas. But, of course, then I’ll be moving to the Lone Star Republic! Go TEXAS!!

Anyone north of Dallas is a yankee. However, Peggy Hill was born in Montana, and Hank Hill was born in New York city, so I guess it’s a state of mind.

Baseball has lost its mind and its passion. In my day the players were close enough to meet in person. I met Hank Aaron, Bob Gibson, Willie Mays, Ernie Banks, and Don Drysdale.

Now the players are far away like rock stars, and when they win the pennant fans are treated like an enemy army by the police. Does anyone remember the joy of 1969 when Met fans went nuts three different times storming the field to celebrate with the players?

We've become a legalistic bunch of people who twist ourselves into knots before expressing ourselves. If baseball isn't fun who needs it?

And another sore spot with me, I don't want to be searched like in the blasted airports upon entering football games. So I don't go.

Yeah...cause that comment taken out of context proves JimRob hates all Yankees and America.

Just curious, what room in your house do you hang the picture of John Wilkes Booth?

Is your name really Potsy?

For the record I don't hate my Northern countrymen, I just want to live free of them. To hate them would require that I give a crap about them. I could give a flying F about you or any other Northerner or Yankee.
