Why I hate the World Series
« on: October 27, 2010, 10:13:07 PM »
Reason #1:  It is never about watching a team that I want to see win, but which team I would prefer to see lose.
If I had known that I was going to live this long I would have taken better care of myself.   (Plagerized from numerous other folks)

It always gets cancelled right before the Cubs' turn to play in it.
You two wanna go stick your wangs in a hornet's nest, it's a free country.  But how come I always gotta get sloppy seconds, huh?

Last year I watched a couple of games on the Spanish-Language station. It was about eleventy bajillion times more watchable that way. The mute button robs you of the game/crowd noise. I didn't understand all that much of what the Spanish announcers were saying and didn't really mind a bit. I'd say give it a shot unless you're very fluent in Spanish and find those announcers as douchey as Joe and Tim. I don't see how that's in any way possible however. Also, chicks in commercials on Spanish channel > dick.

I'm just saying, TVs shouldn't even offer Spanish language options. Or advertise in Spanish. It's a culture war, here, Bort. We have to prevent our children from actually being able to communicate and cooperate with a vast and productive chunk of American society.

MissVal just emailed me to say "THIS!!!" to that.
This is so bad, I'd root for the Orioles over this fucking team, but I can't. Because they're a fucking drug and you can't kick it and they'll never win anything and they'll always suck, but it'll always be sunny at Wrigley and there will be tits and ivy and an old scoreboard and fucking Chads.
