Other - Sports - February 2007

Im 18 & sr in hs, i was thinking about trying for baseball, but i don't know if it's worth it. I've had very bad luck with sports (couldn't play soccer this year cause of an injury) & went out for baseball as a soph just to be the last one cut (literally the last since the jv coach couldnt decide & kept me an extra tryout just end up cutting me). Then he said the reason was cause the Vars coach didnt think i would make it, but now that same JV coach is on varsity, & he seemed to at least think i had some talent since he kept me & was the last cut.

However, I didnt play last year or tryout, & there's a lot of politics w/ sports as you're expected to play in private summer leagues (basically the seniors are already picked). That coach seemed to like me, particularly as a fielder (which means i would have to practice a lot on hitting).

Is it worth being cut again just to see what might happen, or just forget it & keep some dignity from these sports & politics??

i have to go with jim mora's "playoffs" outburst, followed by hal mcrae when he managed the royals throwing a TV set and cussing out the media, denny green's "they are who we thought they were" speech, and jim mora's "diddly poo" comment while coaching the saints

my friends and i were playing dodgeball today and this situation came up:
-I had a ball in my hand and one was thrown at me. I caught it cleanly, but dropped the ball i was holding.

We play under the rule system that if you block a ball with one you're holding and you drop it, then you're out. I argued this was different because i caught the ball thrown at me.
We also play under the rules that after catching a ball your teammate gets to return to the game

What are your interpretations? some said i should be out, the person who threw it should be out, and one of my teammates should be in
i argued that it should count as a catch with no drop.
Please don't say im taking this to far

Don't you think the races would be more exciting if everyone tried to outcheat each other. I bet some of the cars would blow up even.

OK, I play dodgeball at our JH, but our school uses the little foam balls instead of a regular dodgeball. I'm OK at dodgeball, I can somewhat dodge balls, but I can't throw for jack. I can throw, but sometimes, it goes left or right. How can I learn to dodge better and throw better?

I'm a Gordon fan, not the biggest but still a fan. I think he has done so much for NASCAR and can't figure out why so many hate him. I always thought he was a good driver. He will prolly end as one of the winningest. He seems as honest and fair as any of the other drivers. What gives?

I know of several great sport photos and wonder what you think is the greatest ever. I believe Bobby Orr's Stanely Cup winning goal in 1970 to be the best sport photo ever. Looking forward to your opinion.

Do Nascar drivers wear Depends like the astronauts? Surely not. They could not possibly hold their bladders for 3-4 hours straight.
