Glorious Escapism Roleplay

I'm not much of a sports guy, but on occasion I'll at least watch. It can be fun.

What sports do you find to be exciting?

My favorite sport is probably baseball, I just watch very little of it as my local team has sucked for like five years now. A very close second is Football (the American kind), which I watch a lot more of, as it's a lot easier to follow teams given the short season.

Los Angeles Dogers baseball!

My mom raised my to love the team. She also enjoys pointing out that I was born the year the Dogers won the world series.

Heh. Very nice. Baseball really can be a lot of fun. Especially when seen live.

Hm, sports I like to watch. The guys back at Henry's Cavern had to deal with me talking about the 2010 FIFA World Cup so that means I'm a football (or soccer) fan. I'm also an American Football fan and a baseball fan, although the San Diego Padres are acting up considering we lost twice to Phil's Houston Astros.

And we seriously suck...

...which makes me question whether or not we did this out of sympathy or my team is seriously going down the drain.

But it maybe out of sympathy, Phil, sorry. Because the Padres just defeated one our West division rivals, the Colorado Rockies 9-7 after trailing by 4 runs in the 7th Inning.

Professional teams just don't throw games like that. Baseball is really dependent on the individual players and what sort of games they're having at that exact moment. They all go up and down within their own potential, and sometimes the better team simply loses.

Yeah, I think I jumped the gun on that one. Didn't I recall how one game went down and you guys won 7-4 after a triple that caused a double run and then a single ending in a run?

I didn't watch the games, so I don't really recall.

I did just check the standings and I'm pleased to say were at least not in last place in our division. We're better than Pittsburgh.

*high fives Phil*

Actually, I kind of expected that. I've been watching the progress on the Astros after that first win against my Padres. They've been seriously improving, although not enough to be division champs.

Yeah. We're not the bottom, but we still suck.

Baseball sucks... naw, but I really don't enjoy watching it.

American Football and Golf are probably the only sports have any true interest in. I'll occasionally watch soccer with my cousin, but it's not a favorite of mine. Tennis can be kinda cool, but again, I don't follow it enough for it to be a favorite.

I watch a lot of boxing on tv. I get really into it to. I've been caught getting off the couch and throwing some jabs.

I was born the day after the Marlin's Inaugrial game. My mother went into labor the day of after my father spent 2 weeks painting the entire stadium marlins colors for tickets.

Because they missed Dad got every member of the team to sign a baseball. I still have it too.

I'm a life long marlins fan, even if I don't watch baseball a lot.

I also got into football (NFL) from watching eyeshield 21

I don't know if you can call it a sport, but I love watching Snooker.

I rather like Ronnie "The Rocket" O'Sullivan, but he's one of the best in the world. I think I'm probably just following the trends.
