Who has been better than Arod? Arod has been superior to bonds in the field. He was an excellent SS and damn good at the hot corner as well. In fact, Jeter should have let arod take over SS when arod first came to the Yankees.capable_keL wrote:BANNED!!!!Race Car Bed Sleeping Rapist Virgin wrote: arod is the greatest baseball player of our lifetime.

So I get a ticket. These aren't the super cheap seats but they're not exactly courtside either. I'm sure this has a lot to do with what I'm about to say but it's not the only reason.
I present to you, in no particular order, why going to a live game is fucking terrible:
The cost of a ticket Wait until the game starts and buy a cheap one from a scalper (they lose value quick)
The cost of parking Take the bus
The cost of a bottle of water Bring an empty bottle and fill it up at a drinking fountain
Goofy white people on the Jumbotron Don't look at the jumbotron
Annoying ghetto lady a few seats above me yelling at the team to get a rebound Really?
Annoying ghetto lady a few seats below me yelling at the ref to call a foul Really?
The complete lack of sports knowledge of the people around me and even worse, not realizing how clueless they are FUCKING REALLY?
People who think they're coaching the game from the stands (no, the backup point guard shouldn't be in right now) Jesus christ is it your period or something?
The endless string of piercing hype noise during before, during, in-between, and after any sort of gameplay Because you never hear that on your TV?
Bratty kids with better seats than me Please
Being unable to go to the bathroom without missing significant portions of the game Don't buy the expensive water you already complained about
Some dumbass oversinging the Star Spangled Banner See my comment about ticket prices
Having to sit through the Star Spangled Banner You're supposed to stand during the national anthem, asshole
People fighting over free t-shirts Why does this personally offend you?
Not being able to sit with like-minded fans Maybe if you weren't such a bitch you'd have friends to sit with you
Dudes who wear jerseys with no undershirt or over collared shirts Do you even watch THE ACTUAL GAME when you go to games? Or do you just sneer at everyone around you?
Literally every pair of girls taking a selfie or the same picture overlying the court What is wrong with you?
Harassment of people minding their own business and acting tough about it Save us and yourself the trouble and literally never go out in public.
There are more...many more...but I'll let you add on.
Literally everything is better watching at home. But I bet you still complain when you're there too.

Of course, Bonds was a great in the field early in his career, but I feel arod lasted longer into his career than Bonds as being really good in the field.alpha wrote:I know you're trolling but Bonds won 8 gold gloves. C'mon man do better. No one who's ever watched either would say ARod has had a better career or the better player.
If Arod stays healthy, just DH's, and plays 5 more seasons, he has a shot at breaking Bonds HR record....Myjah wrote:Right. Bonds was 42 in his last season, A-Rod is 39 now. A-Rod could play 5 more years and still has slim to none chance of reaching Bonds numbers.
And don't get me wrong, I'm an A-Rod fan.
I agree with you that it's much better to watch sports at home than live (especially football). However, baseball supersedes this sentiment due to the technicality that you can just go to a baseball game to enjoy the warm weather while drinking and chillin with people you're with. It's more of an intangible casual atmosphere thing. I've gone to games at Citi Field, and watched like a total of 30 mins of the actual game. These were all Friday night games that are basically just a de facto way to pregame for the bars later in the night.stupidregister wrote:Like you, I enjoy watching sporting events.

I don't watch much college sports so I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not but does the the University of Hawaii gotta fly their team to the continental US every week for games and then back again to Hawaii for classes? That must be expensive as fuck as well as super taxing on the players just because of the time change/jetlag etc. Or do they have a satellite campus in the States that athletes attend to minimize travel?Ramen wrote:
I do go to about 20 Hawaii games a year tho. Football/Basketball/Baseball

i went to a game in ukraine, there were guards with assault rifles patroling between the home and away sectionsKiran187 wrote:Is it true that there is no way to for opposing fans to sit with each other at soccer games because of the potential for violence?

nba games are great IF the team is good AND the fans are good fans (mad annoying to be at a game and see half the fans looking at their phones) AND the other team isn't complete shit (Unless you're a bball nerd like me who doesn't care)Doogs wrote: I've never been to an NBA game (would really like to) or an NHL game (semi-interested) before.
Nice games, especially Boggs. I've probably been to a lot of notable games that I don't even remember. Once you get around the 800 game mark in 12 years they mostly tend to blur together.Kid That's Lifeless wrote:I'll play:
