British commenary of a baseball game, similar to listening to American commentary of a soccarball tie
just got back from noo yawk, caught mets v cardinals and a yankees v dodgers game, was legit
cards are very good, execute perfectly - mets are ****en awful this year, gave away 7 unearned runs or something horrible, jeez
yankees dodgers game was great, don mattingly back at yankees stadium as manager of the dodgers, got a nice reception - donnie baseball doing the biz
highlight though was seeing mariano rivera in his last year, dude is a ****ing legend (y)
Big few nights with dodgers & diamond back last spring training games against team orstrayla.
Then the opening series. Only two games. For shame.
Go jetties
Sunday isn't an exhibition. It's a ML game. Saturday/Sunday the first two games of the season.
Go jetties
In a way they are exhibition games as they are introducing a foreign concept to Australia. Sure it's the first round of their season but in an attempt to attract new fans I don't see the point in jacking up the prices.
Seems like a money grubbing excercise. Anyone know how much games cost too attend in USA on average?
And do you have any idea how much it would have cost to bring both MLB franchises out here to play for games in the opening round of the MLB season? Airfares, accommodation and appearance fees alone would account for most of these prices. And how much it costing to convert the SCG to a baseball field and back again?
Same deal as with the EPL teams coming out here for friendlies, except the prices are higher as these games actually mean something.

To who??
Very few in this country
I think the interest in this country for baseball is on par with the levels of interest of the 20-20 cricket comp in Bangladesh
What a faarked sport.
Intentionally repeatedly throw the ball wide of the batter so he can't hit it to walk him to 1st base. ****ing dog act.
Have a go you ****s
Whats even worse is the time it takes to play the game and that farking incessant wanky organ music.
Agree with most points you just said MFKS. I sometimes watch little bits of the baseball on one but only if my dad has the tv on already. My passion for baseball is very low and I'll never have the time to actively follow it like the nrl and a-league.
And yep organs belong at the church, it should be up to the fans too chant not commercial gimmicks by the club.
But in saying that, I'm sure it is the MLB that want/need the promotion of spreading the game to other countries. It's the same with NFL going to England. If you don't expand, you die (see: NSL). It may cost a lot to get teams to come out, but it also costs a lot in promotion/marketing and getting a league game out here is I assume a large help in expanding the game.
Wish I bothered to look into these games earlier, would have loved to get a cheap ticket to go watch.
OK
