You whine more than anyone. Don't (frank)ing read our posts if it upsets you.

Looks like I'm making the playoffs in our hockey pool. I love our fantasy pool, so much fun talking about it on these free message boards.

Jays baseball is the best.

Anyone see Dustin Johnson win on Sunday?

Who watched the Davis Cup on the weekend? Great win!

Whitecaps had a tough loss, hopefully they have a good season.

I agree, youth is much better spent watching a bunch of guys stand around for two hours, swing at nothing for 45 mins, and run in circles the other 15

Next thing you know, they'll try to sell us that NASCAR is a sport.

you're missing the nuances of the game, same as golf, if you understand the game and what those guys are trying to do when the hit the golf ball (and how friggin hard it is to execute) you appreciate the very few guys in the world who can do it on a consistent basis.

I appreciate the difficulty, but I have things I'd rather spend my time doing unless I am getting consistent reward during those 3 hours.

I used to watch the Jays until I realized that baseball was boring.

Like the guys are saying, it's a great atmosphere watching the game live, especially at Safeco...great ballpark!

I can't wait to make the trip to Safeco in May. The wife and I are driving from Seattle to San Francisco. Timing couldn't have been better. In fact, it will be the first west coast park I've ever visited. Might see the Giants as well - their park is incredible.

Sounds amazing. I've been to safeco, king dome, A's, candlestick, Dodgers on the west coast...then Fenway, old tiger stadium, new Yankee stadium, brewers, and sky dome.

Understood - each to their own...I no longer have things I'd rather be doing. Difference in age I guess. I enjoy the peace and quiet, wife reads on the one couch I watch tv on the other one. When you lead a somewhat busy existence you learn to appreciate the quiet times I guess?

Hey Vantel rocked me some homemade pho last night. It was killer Oldman thanks for the recipe a bit ago.

Skydome sucks - it's the Shea Stadium of modern domes but it will always be known as Skydome.

Had a chance to watch a couple of playoff games in 92/93, the atmosphere was incredible. Insanely loud , 53000+.

I loved Fenway, PNC and Wrigley.

I played Aldarra last year then went to the game. Year before played Seattle club. Amazing golf courses, two of the best you'll ever play.

Yes it sucks. Being the last dome stadium was a mistake, they missed the transition by about a year or two.

Driving in NASCAR while playing video poker on the cell phone, now that would be a sport I could watch.

Well it's got boxing in it sometimes
Edit: seriously though those guys are athletes and I couldn't do what they do in a million years, I just find that when I watch television, if I am not being rewarded consistently then there's really no reason why I would choose it over another show or activity

Nice win for the Canucks, but Bonino still sucks.
- we_are_all_canucks


What was with Getzlaf going after Bonino? Friendly competition or general dislike?

I enjoy quiet times, I'm a bit of a quiet person, but I would choose a good book over baseball personally. As you said, to each his own. Hockey is really my only vice WRT watching sports, only other thing I will watch when it's on is rugby or international soccer

I've played in 3 day tournaments. 12 hours a day. It really takes a toll on you. More of a sport than curling.

I hear Gretzky had a little sit down with Dustin and set him straight. Since then he's played awesome golf.

I guess when the greats talk you listen.

King Dome what a (frank)ing poophole that place was.
