After years of the Baseball 'World-Series' being nothing of the sort ...

Weirdly I watched this the other day whilst nursing a friend of mine who's just come out of hospital after having a knee op. He was drooling at the goyles whilst cursing them for being able to move. It was hilarious. But I guess you'd have had to have been there. :dabs:

Did you remember to set his TiVo.

Nope forgot. He's gonna kick my ass.

Strangely our mate had a knee-op this very week but didn't have to take 18 weeks off work. Also he was able to come out to the pub, go to the bar for us (I was comfortable so I wasn't going) and chase after some druggie up and down some stairs. I think, maybe, that Busyman has been having us on.

Yeh but he went private to have his op. And got my expert medical care afterwards.

Yeah with my first ACL tear in my right knee I didn't have surgery at all and went back to playing b-ball.

With ACL and medial meniscus tear on my left knee all they did was repair (cut off the scar tissue) on my medial meniscus. When they went in they noticed I didn't have an ACL there. My recovery was super quick.

I was then playing ball with no ACLs.

This surgery though required them using cadaver meat to make a new ACL. Longer recovery time. I could've had it years ago but I felt fine. I was told 6 months before I could play cutting sports (soccer, basketball, football, tennis).

I think I'm going to just lift heavy weights on my legs and go back to doing long distance running and play b-ball next year. I'm using my exercise bike now and have already dropped weight. The only thing left is to buff up somore.

One day I might get a new ACL on my right knee (preferably around strike time:shifty: )

I know folks like jump around when America does badly at something but jeez, America has lost in Olympic baseball a number of times. I think a coupla time they didn't even medal.

This is not something new.:ermm:

I'm tempted to move this thread to Sportsworld because it rather quickly became a serious debate.

As far as this mony>pride thing goes, I've got to agree it's bullshit.
Chest beating is part of American culture. Fact.


Oh, and thanks for the heads-up, JP :thumbsup:

Cadaver meat?

Are you suggesting that Americans can be triumphalist and may revel in international victory.:O

Busy has already told you that Americans care not one jot about the rest of the World and that international competition is of little moment. How dare you contradict a man who speaks for his entire nation. Shame on you.

Just look at Olympic track and field, do the Americans even send a team. Second rate or otherwise. I think not.

You're up early for a tax dodger. Do you have to go down t'Spar and read papers whilst drinking coffee or summat.

I always wake up early after a night of drinking, I think it's just the hangover's way of lasting longer.

That was because it was a geographical fact. There was never a time of the day when there was no past of the British Empire in daylight.

I don't think that's the case anymore, hence us not saying it.

Oh gawd.

Do you bother to read? I have already told you of a reason some players won't go to the Olympics, World Championship, or World Baseball Classic and now you've got that I have every American not going.

Quite obviously they go but again, for the hard of reading, Olympic basketball is a perfect example. If they all thought the internatonal chest beating was more important than money, all our elite players would go whereverthefuck and wipe the international floor every year. In the World Baseball Classic there would be no American baseball player saying he's not going 'cause he doesn't feel like it (or whatever excuse he makes up). We'd have the same elite basketball team every year. (other countries have one b-ball team made up of bascally the same players every year)

You don't hear an Olympic figure skater making excuses and guess what? Their Olympic appearance just happens to translate to endorsement money.
That is for them, their NBA Championship or their World Series.

So sure, Americans love flexing just like any other country. However, for some, money trumps I have bigger dick.

edit: Oh this has been a serious sports debate since page 1. I don't see the confusion. :dabs:

Everyone understands that you are saying money is the most important thing. No-one is arguing that is not the case for you, just that it's a very sad outlook on life.

It is however a theme with you. Like cheating your way into cinemas, stealing microwaves, planning your whole day around saving a few dollars. That's taking it to a "money = a God" level. The thing is you're proud about these things and actually boast about them on the interweb. You think others will be impressed, whereas it has exactly the opposite effect. It makes you come across as a bit of a pikey.

Having a world tournament (eg the World Cup) where all the best players play for their respective countries. Players sans performance enhancing drugs helps as well.
