Devil is Double is Deuce and Joker always trumps Deuce.

I just watched Mr. 3000, the baseball movie with Bernie Mac, and I realized something: I really -blam!- miss baseball. I play third base, but the season hasn't started yet. I need a damn time machine.

i'd agree that football (sometimes called soccer) is definately the best game in the world.

I play soccer; but I don't know if it is the best game in the world. It is kind of boring to watch. Indoor soccer on the other hand, is very fun to play and watch.( there is no offside rule so therefore higher scoring and more action)

i'd have to disagree with the "boring to watch" statement there. last night's english premiership games proved highly entertaining IMO.

and also, I've wondered this for a while now, why does baseball have a championship called the world series, but (as far as I'm aware) only the USA and Japan play in it?

Football seems a bit homoerotic to me. A bunch of men (almost exclusively men) playing a game in shorts, taking their shirts off on the pitch at the end of a game, then having group showers.

It's also a bit pansy arsed. Minimal physical contact allowed, and half the time if you fall over you are allowed a free kick or sometimes taken off on a stretcher, even if the average person wouldn't have been hurt.

They even needs studs in their boots to run on grass???

Pretty much the USA, Cuba Puerto Rico(sp?), China, and Japan are the only ones who play it.

lobsterok, how would you like a 95+ mph ball come flying your head from ten yards out.

you must have tried to run on a muddy grass pitch without studs before? i'd agree with falling over statement though. damn diving cheats.

as for the baseball though, sorry if you didn't understand my question, but why is it called the WORLD series if the entire world isn't invited to play? again, i'm not entirely sure this is the case, but i'd like to be educated about it.

I think it is because it sounds more glorifiable( is this a word?) than it actually is.
