I understand baseball is America’s game, and it was started in NYC’s backyard in Hoboken. But to me NY is and always will be a hoops town, especially when the Knicks are playing well.

When the Knicks are good, is this a hoops town?

baseball isn't even a sport, its more of just a game isn't it? if you can be out of shape and come to games hung over and still dominate like babe Ruth did is that really a sport or more of a game based off of pure skill?

i disagree with alot of y'all.

baseball is the best sport b/c there's alot of strategy involved. every single pitch matters.

with that said, baseball is talked about year round in this town. offseason gets as much press as the season itself.

people only pay attention to the knicks when they're in the playoffs. they are the appetizer to the main meal. they only get sole attention from fans in january/february and that's if the giants/jets aren't in the playoffs/superbowl.

this forum is a terrible place to ask this question b/c it's full of bball nuts.

baseball #1
football + nba is tied based on how the teams do

basketball's quality as a sport has really taken a dip downwards over the past 5-10 years. and it's popularity has taken a dip in ny and around the country. just look at the ratings.

I don't think that many ppl can agree with me, but i definately don't view baseball as a "real" sport like bball, soccer, hockey, football, freakin javelin throwing or whatever else. Chess is prolly the one game that requires the most strategy. Does it make it a sport? Hardly. Hitting a baseball is the toughest thing in profesional sports? Harder than landing off of uneven bars? Harder than running a marathon? hehe, is it harder than hitting a golfball? Even if, for arguement's sake, its harder to hit a golfball or hit a bulls eye with a dart it doesn't make golf or dart throwing a sport.


Let's see , you sit on a bench waiting for your turn at bat( slightly intoxicated or not, it really don't matter), then you pick up your bat, go spit , grab your crotch or someone's ass a few times and take 3 swings, then go back sitting on the bench? Sry that don't sound like a sport to me, definately sounds more like a game that requires skill and not much athletic ability at all.

Baseball is declining. It used to be #1. But the youth are restless. Baseball is the game of our grandfathers. The best athletes in highsvhool play basketball and football.

and not for nothing, watching a guy fail 7 out of 10 timees and calling him a hall of famer isn't my idea of entertainment. might as well watch jared jeffries shoot free throws.
