It is an opinion. Yes I am a big baseball fan. It is my favorite sport. Period. Most of that has to do with the history that goes with it. Like last night the Chicago Cubs ending a 108 year old drought. Yes I get that, that slice of history was what attracted me to watching in the first place. But ...

well, i asked what the best historical game was to try baseball but no one replied so i am assuming that there are not any good games?

The one I knew of before was the Game 6 of the 2003 final.. (how's that for raining on a parade?!)
There was a good 30 for 30 film about that one.

Yea that was great - a great advertisement for the sport. It was a rollercoaster of incidents and emotions. It was a great final. I don't think I'm going to sit thru 200 matches per season but it's definitely given me a passing interest. "Best sport" is stretching it tho ;) But that's a de...

I love sports but baseball is something that's never caught my imagination. I've gone thru phases of educating myself in a few American sports - college football, the NBA - but baseball I could never endure. The sloth like way of how it unfolds, & the culture surrounding it, I was never able to ...

Unsurprisingly, I love tell tale signs.
I don't want to spoil it for you by hyping it up so I'll say no more. Post yer thoughts tho when you listen to it please.

I've a whole wardrobe of tshirts I can't/won't ever wear. They're too important to me to risk getting them damaged.

Poetry is meant to be delivered and performed, it's all so intertwined in the language & form. Of course it counts as poetry. Anthony Kedis is a lyricist, Thom Yorke's a lyricist. Bob Dylan is a poet.

It is most disgusting. BOTH "candidates" are LOSERS; no one wins this one, save for sycophants and political parasites as usual. Those of 30 years and more have been trotted out. A Greed most Horrible has bought a great sorrow - but still, I hope before it is too late, there will be a sla...

This board has been strangely quiet on the subject. I'm sure plenty of you haven't been as reserved about the election as you have on here, and I know it's not polite to talk politics amongst friends but.. c'mon already! Of course it's a no brainer.. tho it's weird to actually be using that term in ...

He is one of my spirit guides. I'm disappointed, but not surprised of that tale semi told of a partner weaponising him. I dropped a relationship when someone nastily dismissed him as, "he sounds like a peadophile." But mostly I've found he's a unifier. & that I have a deep affection fo...

Technically yes. But what's the capacity of 2 nights at the Barbican? Are u telling me he couldn't sell out two nig...

jack white

Aye, what can you do? You don't want to impose on these people, they're just regular folk after all. But at the same time you want to express your gratitude to the value their work has brought to you. I met a hero of mine recently & it was pretty much the only time in my life I've been star stru...

I chose not to go to the nick cave film, but I regret it now. I think the record is one of the most striking & stunning pieces of work that has impacted me, ever. It's unspeakably sad, powerful & potent. I can't escape it presently. It has engulfed me & sets the tone of my existence ever...

Yea, now that you mention it I think you're right on the pacing. For the most part it was a steady, tense flow. It wasn't an action-orientated show, and in fact you could probably count the amount of action scenes on one hand nearly, so that might help explain the pacing: it really had no set pieces...

I enjoyed it a lot. Didn't love it, but really enjoyed it. Turrturo was fantastic. James Gandolfini was originally supposed to play that role, think he would've been great too. If it returns for a 2nd season I hope they take it in an anthology direction as opposed to carrying on with the characters ...

There's definitely something in the air. I was having this exact conversation with a friend of mine at the weekend, we were both bemoaning the upcoming weddings we were going to see each other at!

You're not getting it. Websites are so passe. + travellers like us we're meant to proselytize the Spiritualized path.

That one website that had all the videos n stuff was pretty cool. Was early 00's.. whoever was picking up the tab then.. Whoever designed it did a nice job.

I thought things like this were consigned to history books.

Yea I'm not one for conspiracy theories but this is suspicious. It's terrible, & increasingly dangerous. Erdogan consolidating more power is very distressing. Turkey is in an ever increasing worryingly, escalating situation. He represents a danger to all of us, has done for years now with the di...

i think one of the biggest problems was the new expanded tournament- a team can finish third with three draws- one win in 90 mins and lift the cup...maybe next time a team can loose three games, finish fourth and lift the cup... Partly yea. Too many teams willing to sit back, defensive football was...

Ack that auld talk is nonsense (Re Danny baker/kingharry). Rose tinted nonsense.

Corbyn & McDonnell seem a little too keen on Brexit (& triggering article 50) for it to sit right with me. That however seems to be the general consensus. People seem afraid of further agitating the angry protest vote & the inherent risk that brings. I'm not so convinced. I would still l...

More than the MP's rebellion he hasn't been able to (re)connect the grassroots support across the UK, hasn't been able to arrest the decline of support in the traditional Labour towns as its seeped away to UKIP. He simply has not been able to unite enough of the party behind him, surely that's the c...

This has been some performance from Gove. As loathesome a creature as he is (& his spouse) I can't but admire the maneuvering he's done. A superb political performance. His done in Cameron & now Boris within a week pretty much. Something Stalin-esque about this ascent, minus a few ice picks..

jack white

Gove is desperate to trigger article 50. Was wishful thinking this notion of it being a poisoned chalice, lots of them are keen to pull the trigger. I think there's a widespread acceptance Brexit is happening, we're not going to see it challenged or reversed. It's not a mindset I can agree with on t...

The club season has started already :cry: Minnows like Celtic in the qualifying rounds for Europe + the Scottish domestic cup kicking off. I love my football but even I am starting to feel exhausted. Exhausted more by the sheer volume of rubbish football. I need a break from it. & this English s...

Gove sticking the knife in Boris' back today has brought a smile to my face amidst the gloom.
Probably means that bitch Theresa May will be leader, maybe the most dangerous amongst the lot. Civil liberties and human rights will be the first thing to go..

And yes, despite my anguish at having been on the losing side of another vote, I am actually quite excited. Our politics are in turmoil at the minute, and we're facing Brexit & an American presidential election but it is an exciting time to be alive! I just wish it wasn't happening to me!

Runcible noted that Cameron had stepped down; (I am not up yet, and have not seen the news); His stepping down - is this simply because he had backed a point of view that did not go his way?
