Two days of live sports... MLB tomorrow and Golden Boy Boxing on Thursday

[powerpuncher]

I absolutely hate baseball. The only sport that I just don’t like.

It's not so bad in person. I can't stomach it on TV, though. I'll make exceptions for the World Series, but that's about it.

Still, I'm more looking forward to the boxing card on Thursday.

Nothing like a day of live boxing enjoy. Baseball is a great game. I used to go to Toronto every year to see the blue jays vs the Red Sox, I love the Red Sox

When I was in NY for the Quillin Lee fight we went to see the Yankees. Worst decision of the trip, absolutely shite not to mention getting asked for ID every 15 minutes when getting a beer from the same vendor

Sounds like a good double header of action. Haven't followed Twins or baseball since the days of Kirby Pucket and Chili Davis but in the right venue the game can be pretty entertaining, and goes a helluva lot faster than television.

Pretty good card on espn 2 also. What sort of seats did you get? We'll be looking for the Saddo banners .

We almost got a two-for-one on the baseball game..... lasted 16 innings!!! People were largely game (sold-out stadium)... but started leaving a few innings before, no doubt thinking about having to go to work the next day. The seats were great, @Spicoli . First base side, not too far up, and in good position for lots of foul balls. Unfortunately most of the hitters seemed to be lefty, so the 3rd base side got most of the action. Also, the cameramen were too busy seeking out the fine looking women, like they always do. All in all a great game, except for those who like lots of offense. It was 0-0 through 13 or 14 innings, it seems, with our own José Berrios and the Indians starting pitcher locked in a pitcher's duel through about 7-8 innings. Finally a couple of homers to spark up things from the offensive side, and the Twins won on a walk-off single into center field.

A side note: My brother and I left Luquillo (NE corner town) under a massive downpour, complete with thunder and lightning. We were also in the middle of a 12-hour long power outage. Felt we were a little nuts thinking there was going to be an actual baseball game. By the time we got to San Juan, not a drop of rain, and a packed stadium. Couple of times between innings they had some choreographed dances atop one of the dugouts (1st base side ) by some finely toned, very flexible females..... and after that who cares who won the game.




Hoping for more offense tonight.

In person and with beer, it is a lot of fun. I love going to AAA and even single A games in person n getn drunk or least a good buzz.
