I played baseball in high school and I still prefer a close game. The one professional game I've been to was on Memorial Day last year, between the Cardinals and the Brewers. The score was 0-0 going into the top of the 10th. My perspective was "Cool! More baseball for my money!" The fact that the Brewers won it in the bottom of the 10th made it better.

Of course, I wouldn't want most games to be that low scoring. But I wouldn't mind seeing more go into extra innings.

Why are fans so averse to ties?

Because it is unsatisfying to watch a tie. "Like kissing your sister" is the popular expression to describe what a tie feels like. I don't have any data on this. I just know that I hate ties, and I've always assumed that most other people do too. I suppose I could be wrong.

But if ties are okay, as you say, maybe they should introduce them into more sports. If a regular season baseball game is tied at the end of nine innings, or maybe ten, maybe they could just call it a tie. They could also introduce ties to golf, tennis, horse racing (who needs photo finishes?), and all of the Olympic sports, among others. There's nothing to keep this from happening, but I doubt that many fans would be happy about it.

Why are fans averse to ties? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? Seriously, get off your super intelligent ass and go play a freaking sport! ANY SPORT!

Do you have any clue how much time and preparation goes into every game? How much blood, sweat and tears are laid down?

Oh, but we should be okay with ... a tie right? FUCK NO! Why? Because as a FAN you appreciate the effort, dedication, the pain the athletes put themselves through to see a team WIN, not tie.

YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME!

Winning isn't everything, its the ONLY thing!

/me rant off.

It's extremely rare for me to give Z2C a +1, him being such a Z2C and all....but that was pretty good!

I fully admit, I only viewed the portion that was quoted by someone else. That little sentence was all I needed to read, lol.

beast (26-Jan) : I'm confused, Pete Carroll and Brian Schottenheimer? When Todd Monken, Joe Brady, Kellen Moore, Kliff Kingsbury and Zac Robinson are availab

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
