    I have a sister who lives in So Cal, is a die-hard (is there such a thing?) Angels fan. She was bemoaning the fact that the Royals always seem to have their number, and yet was glad there were still 159 more games.

    My thought, though I didn't tell her, was that I wished the season was only 3 games long....

    Love to watch Jeopardy whenever I get the chance, but lately it seems like Alex Trabek has upped his smugness factor even moreso. You don't know all the answers, stop acting like you do!

    I definitely agree with this.

    Oh man. I feel the same way about golf announcers. Whenever someone hits a shot that isn't absolutely perfect, they bemoan him as a bum and what a terrible shot, as if THEY would never ever shank a ball or hit a bad shot. Just shut up and let me watch in peace!

    I'm really beginning to loathe Twitter. I know a lot of you guys use it and find it helpful, but it's getting so annoying watching or listening to anything and hearing people trying to get you to follow their Twitter feed. And I don't know how people that do follow a lot of folks get through the day, do they seriously look at their phone every 2 minutes to see a new Tweet?

    So...after the heartbreaking loss, I went to McDonald's to get something to eat because I skipped dinner, and it's basically the only place open that late. So I'm just about finished and ready to leave and some guy sits down and starts talking to me. I'm polite, so I try to be nice and have a conversation with the guy, and he starts talking about how people outside were giving him money because they thought he was homeless (which sounds like complete BS to me). So...after about 5 minutes of talking about Baltimore (I had my O's hoodie on) and York (where apparently there are plenty of Amish ) he starts to tell me how stupid everybody that goes to Penn State is. Keep in mind...he already knew that I went here at this point. So...after about unleashing 5-6 "retards" about us (naturally he was referring to "them" as if I'm not included), he says something about a gay pedophile, and that's when I was at my limit. Luckily for him, I hate conflict so I didn't tell him off like I should have. I just looked at him and said "that's nice" as I rolled my eyes and walked out of there. ****in' jackass.

    This annoys me most about Yankee and Sox fans - whenever I speak to them and express my hatred for "their" team, they automatically assume my team is part of that rivalry. You hate the Yanks? Sorry about the Red Sox last year bro.

    Puts that little extra douche on top of it all.

    Wife: "Are you going to watch baseball every night?"

    Me: "Don't worry, I'll lose interest by mid-May."

    I think it's ridiculous that MLB Extra Innings (or any sports package for that matter) can't show every single game in HD.

    It's 2012.

    Hahaha...I told my wife during the first game of the Yankees series that she is lucky because she only has to put up with me watching Orioles games for the first month or so, until the O's are out of it. Most wives have to put up with it for much longer.

    She loves the Orioles, but is more interested in going to games rather than watching them on TV.

    Mine doesn't like baseball and doesn't even like attending games. If she goes she wants to eat a hot dog, drink a beer, and leave. Luckily she likes attending football games, which is what we do down here anyway.

    If you want to turn left, put your blinker on ahead of time, and get in the LEFT friggin lane. Don't slow down in the right lane, with no blinker, and expect people to know that you're suddenly going to lunge left across two lanes of traffic to make a left! Friggin idiots!!!!

    Hopefully their sexual habits are safer than their driving habits, or we will be doomed for generations to come.
