Comment by CreekEnd_UK on March 8, 2013 at 11:23am COngrats on't feature Lass. Eeeeeee that's thay ticket. (English/Yorkshire accent)
I do however feel that Pocket Billiards has advantages over that there infidel BaseBall thingy.
Crowds are not essential and neither is that 'atmosphere' one needs when watching England loose at cricket.
Also, PB can be played anywhere without the cost of weird clothing,a stadium or onlookers.
I mean only the other day...........................
"What FRed(tm)? You mean I'm rambling and overselling the 'game'? Bugger! "
Comment by Shelley Smith on March 7, 2013 at 3:03pm Linda Seccaspina We are going to watch the same teams in LA at the end of March. You are absolutely right, we are so lucky to be able to do this.
Comment by Shelley Smith on March 7, 2013 at 2:58pm CreekEnd_UK take cricket and rounders, kind of combine, and voila. Definitely not pocket billards. And no one shouts, "Come on ye whites."
Comment by Linda Seccaspina on March 7, 2013 at 2:56pm you are so lucky.. I am sending this to Steve")
Comment by CreekEnd_UK on March 7, 2013 at 2:53pm So what is this Baseball game then?
"I know FRed(tm) it's probably like 'pocket billiards' that we Brits excel at Boy."

Comment by Shelley Smith on March 7, 2013 at 11:32am Steve S we went to another game earlier in the week. It was pretty awesome. Back today for a Hockey game.
Yep, what do you do when the kids are squirmy and whiny?

Seriously, Spring training and Minor League Baseball are some of My Favorite Things.
