After having played football, I understand why all the stops are in there. By about the end of the first quarter you are dragging your hump around. Every little pause is amazing good for you. It is fun to play in below freezing weather and you can just watch and feel the steam roll off of your body.
Anyway, I hope Konerko hits about 3 dingers tonight. That way someone will overpay him to play for them, and then he won't kill the Twins every time they play. Go Sox!! Baseball is all about patience. I find it funny that Akots, a master of MM in civ3 can find baseball boring.

Let's just say baseball is something different. I totaly understand that people don't get the game, but come on! It's not a coincidence that millions of people play and watch that game.
One thing is sure, unlike other games you have to play it before being able to watch it. You then understand the excitement about turning in a double play, hiting a curveball, or event catching a fly.

I concur that defensive football is played best by the Italians (I hate them !

I would like to talk more about the intricacies of football. It will be fun to follow the World's Cup with you all so I can understand it better.

What a great team!! No players scored more than 100 runs and only Paul Konerko had 100 RBI's. GM Kenny Williams has constructed a team that has the potential for more to come. Their hottest pitcher Brandon McCarthy didn't even make the playoff roster. Ahhhh...World Champion Chicago White Sox. Wow....
