Baseball season is officially open today.
How about that? You may see an influx of baseball articles from me, and a few silly bets on games between the Reds and Cardinals. I'm sure I'll lose them, I always do, so expect me doing some embarassing things when around here when I lose...

I went to America in 2001 in August, and I wne to a base ball game, I think it was a local league one.
It was me and my friend Craig and these people we where staying with, Loural and her dad.
We where in Conneticat, sorry about the spellings.
We where staying in Groton which was this really small town near the coast and it was so peace full and quite.
An everyone new each other, an as we where new in the area people would come uo to us and say, hey ain't seen you around before, An we where like, We are staying will Lauryl and co on Holiday over here.
An therel ike Woo like your British, check out your accent..
Anyway back to the baseball, We left after 45 mins as no one had even scored a run or what ever you call them. Kept on missing or being caught out.
So my first experience of Baseball, was boring no offence. have not watched it again though, as I have not been in the states since then.

I don't blame anyone for thinking of baseball as boring. You really have to be born here to appreciate it.
You think it's boring, and I, a native American think it's really a beautiful dance between offense and defense.
Pimms says 'oh no, not again', I say 'Yee-haw!'

We need a petition to get a baseball smiley.
Who are the Reds playing in the opener? Is it San Francisco, by chance?

Well I found that meach boring simply because 90% of the time was missing the ball and 10% was being caught out.
I'm sure if it was a proper match where they actually hit the ball, It would have been more entertaining.
I was just saying my first experience at professional baseball was dull.
The Baseball I played at school had a higher score than those guys joke.
