Comment on Why Soccer is Better Than Baseball by pelelover

okay lets finish this once and for all!!!!! Soccer is better because our players do not take steroids. The reason baseball players take steroids is due to the fact that crowds are not interested in the games unless there is a home run!!! Steroids help players hit the ball harder and farther. Baseball is a joke, and a pass time.. i would rather pass the time watching players run their asses off from one part of the field to the other, deserving their pay check, than see a fat ass sit at a mound breathless… this job does not deserve 1 million dollars!

1. Walks to the mound help the catcher and pitcher communicate to make the pitcher throw more strikes.
2. Pitch counts show the count so that the pitcher will know how many more pitches are left in the count. Soccer is just stupid guys who kick a ball all day, they don’t get hurt.
3. Seventh inning stretch makes people stand up since the game is so interesting.
4. These “fat” guys are athletes. Babe Ruth was a phenominal athlete, and you’re saying he was awful???
5. They are so loyal to the game, like Brett Favre.
6. They eat sunflower seeds.
7. Look at soccer, they can’t even score 1 goal a game. Baseball actually HAS offense.
8. Soccer players don’t care about stats. Tell me how many goals Pele had. Baseball is statistic heaven.
9. They are devoted to the games. This could be Game 7 of the World Series.
10. It makes them look more important. Soccer doesn’t even have managers.

dude your argument is bogus. I would like to see fat ass Prince Fielder play a soccer game and I could homer off ur sorry ass. They need pitch counts cause their pussies. Baseball games are so boring that people get up to get drinks during the game. 7th inning stretch is saying well lets decide if we should stay at this dumb game or go home and do something productive.

Fake injuries.
0-0 ties. Nuf said.
Baseball has room for everybody. A fat, slow guy can pitch or play first. In soccer, there’s only one position for slow runners.
Substitution. What’s the point of carrying 22 players if you can only use three in a game? Baseball makes relief pitchers and pinch-hitters part of the drama.
The clock in soccer is silly. The tactics used to delay the game, like fake injuries, substitutions and long kicks into the stands, turn the game into an 80-minute contest.
Baseball is a game of small battles with definite outcomes. There’s pitcher vs. hitter, runner vs. base-stealer, hitter vs. defense. Every play has a winner, and adds to or takes away from the possibility of getting a run. Soccer is thousands of indefinable actions whose implications aren’t clear. Score!
In soccer, you can hide by passing or avoid the ball. In baseball, if you go 0-for-4, everybody will know.
Baseball is a sunny day in the bleachers with your kids. Soccer is a rainy night, standing up, with other people’s kids.
Penalties are too important in soccer. A ref’s mistake can pick the winner. Baseball umpires make hundreds of calls per game. Their mistakes even out. They rarely decide who wins. No foul or offside rule on game-winning homeruns.
It ain’t over till it’s over. In baseball, teams can win after trailing at the penultimate point. In soccer, teams never win when trailing by three scores in the 88th minute.

This is bogus I will dispute every one of these reason’s..
1. So pitchers walk to the mound… Its the only time that they get to rest, in soccer more than half the team walks while the game is in play.
2.A pitch count is to keep a player from hurting his arm. A pitcher puts more stress on his arm in one inning than a soccer player puts on his body in a whole game.
3.The 7th inning stretch is a very important part of baseball. The fans are so focused on the game that they dont have time to go get a drink. That is why the 7th inning stretch was invented. And to sing “take me out to the ballgame” Does soccer have its own song?
4.Those “fat guys” are some of the most talented men on the planet. I would bet $1000000 ($1 million) that your so called athlete or soccer player couldnt hit a ball half as far as these men could.
5. So what if there old. They are still the best of their kind. Why do sports have to be reserved for young people?
6. What do players get to eat? Sunflower seeds? It’s not our fault we can multitask.
7. Your gonna use the all star game as an example? That is not an everyday game. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, In 2004, the average length of a National League game was 2:47:20, compared to 2:46:55 in the American League. There you go!
8. Those statistics are important. It shows how a player ranks among his counterparts. and it shows that he has produced better over his first three years than other ppl are.
9. Your telling me that there isn’t anyone out there who sits at at home with their soccer jerzey on and watches a soccer game. The only reason the soccer fans dont keep score is cause there’s nothing to write down. O there’s a goal. Now I can put my pen and paper down cause nothing else will happen the rest of the game.
10. And mangers wearing uniforms is part of team unity. So what if they look bad, they love the game and are into it. Would you like it better if they walked out to the mound in a shirt and tie?

Yes, Portland is another quality candidate. If memory serves Portland was closely in the running with Seattle for an MLS franchise. Considering how much tradition and fan support there is in the Pacific Northwest, having a trifecta of Seattle, Vancouver and Portland could create some interesting rivalries.
