Goddamn! I don't give a fuck about the Tigers OR the Cards anymore
I never really understood the sports hysteria. Sure, Red Sox in '04 was one of the finest sporting moments ever, but the BoSox sucked serious ass this year.

So post here if, like me, you're damn sick of all this baseball.

'Cause it's encroaching on my football! :P

1. As a mom, enjoying my daughter's company (at 16) for the first time
ever, I say I gotta disagree. We have had a summer together I will treasure forever... :D

That said, GO PACKERS! I'm in first place in my family's fantasy football league.

3. My 15 year old daughter is actually watching it with me
and is asking questions about the rules of baseball! Who'd a thunk it? I'm enjoying it imensely (except that the Tiges are down).

4. Only one baby...
:D. My daughter actually brought me back to watching after I had sworn off it. I'm along for the ride. She's in love with Magglio. :D

2. "'Cause it's encroaching on my football!"
Amen!

I don't get MNF anymore, since it went to ESPN, and there's no Sunday night football with this silly World Series stuff in the way...

I hope the Cards win the next 2, just so it'll be OVER.

7. The Tigers going from 119 losses in 03 to the WS in 06
Is akin to the Bosox in 04. This from a diehard football fan.

Go Tigers!

8. I dislike team sports.
I prefer things like skateboarding. It is competitive, but you feel good when the other guy does something cool.

10. Once we saw how terrible the Sox were doing we totally stopped watching.
Of course having a baby cut into our sports bar time as well.

11. Bah!
Baseball should be played every day, year-round. :bounce:

Except in places where the weather sucks half the time.
