Twitter won't let me tweet.

Which is probably the one thing that should never be allowed to break on that site.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I will never, ever understand why people do that.

I have a book that I bring to most games I attend. Depends on what the pregame plans are and if I feel like carrying the thing around.

-Keeps you in tune to the game.
-I'm a baseball stat nerd.
-I like columns and rows of numbers.
-Fun to look back at games you've been to and remember the weird or memorable plays or things about the game.

For example, I was at a Brewers/Twins game in Miller Park where the Brewers starter gave up something like 6 runs and recorded 0 outs for a game ERA of infinity. I saw Roger Clemens start at Old Yankee Stadium against the Twins. I have Game 163 from two years ago in there. It's nice to have a little personal record of that kind of stuff.

TweetDeck FTW.

Indeed. I should just download it and install it whenever I use a computer in the computer lab.

I personally don't, but a lot of people say it helps them focus on the game.

EDIT: Why do my posts always start a new page?

For me, it's like doing a puzzle. And it gets me closer to the game. I pay attention to every single pitch. And like ITTim said I like to look back on old games I've been too and recall the games.

Can't you just look up the game's stats on the internet?

I don't know. Like I said, I don't think I'll ever understand it because it would bore me to tears. Part of why I like going to baseball games so much is because it's so relaxing, and that hardly seems relaxing.

It's near impossible to score at an LSU baseball game. I've tried it one and quit by the 3rd inning

Sure I could, but like I said, I focus on every pitch when I score a game (which I don't really get to do often because I have kids). I've even gone so far as to score MLB the Show cpu vs cpu games .

Also anyone who follows me on twitter knows who diirtybirds is. We broke the story last night

I'm not selling my soul to the evil underlord Twitter just to find out.

Also, I was going to ask the over/under on when the new "girl" gets banned, but it's ruined now. Was hoping "she" would say something to Dayman so we could accuse "her" of being CJP in disguise...

Now that I've never understood. It would bore me to tears to watch a CPU vs CPU game. I tried once on '10 and turned the PS3 off after 5 minutes.

I thought the same thing, but now that I've joined I've realized how awesome it is. It truly is just a big Off Topic thread with no TOS.

It's a big OS chat room on Twitter, every OT regular should have one.

Haha yeah, but for the record it was the All-Star game in my season. I've watched cpu vs cpu All-Star games in every sports game I've ever played going all the way back to Super Tecmo Bowl when I would create my own End of the season Pro-Bowl using the league leader statistics and watch it play out.

Talk about funny result. When you're playing as the Jets, and three of your guys are on the offensive team cause they led the league in stats, and then they get demolished cause they were so terrible...
