1. The overbearing, obnoxious sound system in the Tropicana Dome.
2. The Major Deegan Expressway.
3. Sunday night getaway games.
4. Pitchers who take too much time on the mound.
5. Batters who do not exploit a defensive over-shift that virtually guarantees a base bit from a bunt or well-placed ground ball.
6. Streakers.
7. The ridiculous distance of the broadcast booth from the field at Nationals Park.
8. Reporters who try to stir up controversy when there isn't any.
9. The Wave.
10. So called "experts" who think they can predict baseball games.

ReplyDeleteFly balls off Yankees bats that are high and far but caught.
ReplyDeleteduque--can't believe you missed this one:
ReplyDeleteSTATS!
Also, in a related vein, divulging batting averages in fewer than 100 at-bats--after all, that's SENSITIVE information that might be misinterpreted by us doltish average fans.
Also, people who "love to knock."
Also, people who never say "I was wrong" after making a faulty prediction.
Also, Boston fans who boo Jacoby Ellsbury--like THEY would have turned down all that money!

ReplyDeleteNot moving the runner over when he's on with no outs. Why, a manager and his team have to do everything in their power to move that runner over when there are no outs. It's just something you have to do. If you don't, obviously it'll come back to haunt you later on, Susan. I mean, I love Joe, but I just don't understand it...
Anybody (read statheads) who say Derek Jeter can't play defense.
