dabber Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 I won't leave you hanging Cisse. Being in Canada I cheer for the Blue Jays, first two years was here were pretty good, winning World Series back to back, but since then bloody awful. I used to enjoy it more as it seemed like a quick game of one day cricket when I first came over, but now it is too slow to sit down for 3h+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 Before my baseball passion took over, I never had any time for the American sports and still think American Football is a sad excuse for a sport. Moneyball got me properly interested in Baseball (and stats-based sports analysis) and it's spiralled since then. Love all the variables, stats (although it can get a bit OTT at times) and there's a certain romanticism about the game. Don't really have one team but I like the Cubs, A's and Rays to do well...anybody but the Yankees and Phillies really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I tried. But I can't. It's a bit like cricket, in the fact I don't watch it and find it extremely boring unless a team I care about is playing. I'll stick to the NFL, NBA and NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted April 7, 2014 Author Share Posted April 7, 2014 I find baseball boring but follow the results somewhat. Mariners is the one I root for even though they are poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spent a load though this year Cisse, including ex Yankees 2B Robinson Cano, expectations are up in Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deserve some excitement in Seattle in baseball too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think if the Mariners can keep their pitching healthy, they should definitely be better this season but could still do with a better outfield and it's a tough division (although the A's and Rangers have early injury issues, and the Angels pitching depth still isn't great) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I went over on a scouting trip, and on the second week we went to watch a Minor League game. Don't think I've been to a sporting event and had so much fun that was totally unrelated to the actual sport itself. It was only ~$10, great value for money for 4 hours of entertainment including a fireworks display. Oh, and I got a DCFC flag on the fan cam. Only downside was I couldn't drink, as it was a few days before my 21st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inter politics Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Yep, I'm thinking them, the Angels and the A's could all make the post-season out of that division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
