Hillarious!

 

Dealing with love-hate relationship

 

Why I hate baseball: Games like Sunday's, when, after nearly two hours and 185 pitches, it was still the fourth inning.

 

Why I love baseball: Endings like Sunday's, when Juan Pierre's game-winning bloop single took less than three seconds to land safely.

 

Why I hate baseball: Postgame quotes like this one from Pierre: ``We're just taking it one game at a time.''

 

Why I love baseball: Postgame quotes like this one from Jack McKeon: ``When our guys saw [losing pitcher] Mike Williams come in, it lifted them up. It was like, `This guy won't last. We'll get him real quick.

 

Why I hate baseball: Pitching coach visits to the mound. Philadelphia's Joe Kerrigan spent more time on the field in this series than the umpires.

 

Why I love baseball: Kerrigan's final visit Sunday immediately led to a walk and Pierre's game-winner.

 

Why I hate baseball: The Marlins put five barely dressed women on top of the dugout during the seventh-inning stretch.

 

Why I love baseball: The Marlins instructed those women to dance.

 

Why I hate baseball: The Marlins can blow an early 2-0 lead in the span of three batters.

 

Why I love baseball: The Marlins then can turn a 3-2 deficit into a 4-3 lead in the span of one Mike Lowell swing.

 

Why I hate baseball: Pierre bunts too much.

 

Why I love baseball: Pierre started the bottom of the eighth by bunting for a hit even though the Phillies fully expected him to try.

 

Why I hate baseball: Kevin Millwood can throw a no-hitter one game, then pitch so poorly Sunday his name should be legally changed to Mill-wouldn't or Mill-couldn't.

 

Why I love baseball: The Phillies still made it a game by exploiting Carl Pavano, whose failed hunt for the strike zone featured everything but the deployment of police dogs.

 

Why I hate baseball: The Marlins have a hot tub in their ballpark. Fans in Speedos, indecent.

 

Why I love baseball: The Marlins don't have a hot tub in their press box. Sportswriters in Speedos, inhumane.

 

Why I hate baseball: Reliever Michael Tejera can throw over to first base once, twice, three times without throwing a pitch.

 

Why I love baseball: Tejera then can catch Jimmy Rollins breaking for second to end the seventh inning.

 

Why I hate baseball: Scenes like the one in the fourth, when fans were subjected to watching Millwood attempt to run the bases.

 

Why I love baseball: The scene an inning later, when fans were treated to watching Turk Wendell leap-frog to avoid a ball rolling foul.

 

Why I hate baseball: Advertisements on nearly every inch of Pro Player Stadium.

 

Why I love baseball: The entire left-field wall is a giant plea to start gambling.

 

Why I hate baseball: The eighth inning arrives and I have to risk ligament damage by typing the words ``Ugueth Urbina.''

 

Why I love baseball: The eighth inning arrives and -- not being a broadcaster -- I don't have to risk something worse by saying the words ``Ugueth Urbina.'

 

Why I hate baseball: McKeon smokes smelly cigars before the games.

 

Why I love baseball: McKeon smokes smelly cigars during his daily jog. (This is a fact.)

 

Why I hate baseball: There's a chance Admin Bowa's head could explode in frustration.

 

Why I love baseball: There's always a chance that Bowa-head-exploding thing could happen here.

 

Why I hate baseball: The tradition-trashing invention called the wild card.

 

Why I love baseball: The Marlins still matter because they're within two games of the wild card.

 

Why I hate baseball: The game is such a business now it's amazing the players don't wear wingtips.

 

Why I love baseball: ''These guys are excited. I'm excited. Everyone's excited.'' And those are the words of the Marlins' 72-year-old manager.

 

Why I hate baseball: Agonizingly long afternoons like Sunday.

 

Why I love baseball: Agonizingly long afternoons like Sunday.

wow. that's very good. who wrote it?

Jeff Miller from the Herald. Same guy who just ripped Kobe Bryant a new a$$ in an article when Kobe bought his wife a 4 million dollar ruby ring after cheating on her. Sure I agree with him, but why it's worth writing about or any of his business I have no idea.

Yeah, pretty funny.

That turk wendell fall was probably the funniest thing ive ever seen in a baseball game...ever.

That is funny stuff.

omg that was hysterical.....

 

the best was if you were watching on tv, when they showed a replay from a different angle...

 

the camera's showing the ball close-up rolling right down the line, when all of the sudden in slow-motion from right to left, comes this graceful cartwheel right across the screen. it looked like Wendell was going for the gold in the gymnastics floor exercises.

 

classic. :lol

Isn't Wendell the player with that superstition that he can't touch the baseline going to and coming back from the mound? He always has to leap over the line.

a bunch of players do that.

 

But, isnt Wendell the guy that sometimes brushes his teeth in the dugout?

^

He eats large amounts of black licourice(SP?) then He brushes his teeth between innings...Then when's it's time to pitch he needs to jump over the foul line.

thats some funny shitt
