Yeah... In baseball, if the pitcher drills you in the ribs with a 90mph fastball, you get rewarded with a free pass to first base, the sight of an umpire (at a minimum) warning the pitcher and, if you're lucky, a bench-clearing brawl as your teammates attempt to avenge you. In cricket, if the bowler hits the same spot with a 95mph bouncer off an uneven, rock-hard pitch, the umpire smiles at a well-placed delivery, your teammates will consider anything more than a brief shrug and stretch in response as evidence you're a girl, and bowler will likely hit you again in the next six balls (or, indeed, in your balls.)

In baseball, if the shortstop is playing 20ft from home, it means he's absolutely certain a weak hitter is about to dribble a bunt at him that my grandmother could collect in her pinafore. In cricket, if you're playing five feet in front of the bat, it's because your captain wants to discourage the opposition's power hitter from smashing 300ft line drives through the area your body is occupying.

Baseball's a man's game alright, for some very girly value of man (cf rugby v gridiron football for more of the same...)

Best,

I wouldn't expect a dribbling old fool to understand the intricacies of any game when he can't keep control of his own mouth.

I guess I should have read the article before I read the rest of the posts. I thought starrkers was referring to you. My bad. :caning:

She likely was.

With STARRKERS, if you make her aware the house is on fire, youre as guilty as the arsonist who set the fire.
