like i said, this thread just reiterates everything I said earlier. although, you think a person would realize that turning a thread about how no one takes you seriously into a thread about which dudes are 'hotties' kind of defeats the purpose.

Obviously female fans are going to be agog over some ballplayers, thats not the issue. It becomes an issue when you like someone simply cause you like the way thier butt wiggles when they go to first, or they have great guns hanging from their shoulders. The Ted Lilly thing is the proverbial tip of the iceberg. There is NO ONE who likes Ted Lilly simply from his underwhelming Yankee career.
Look, we all follow people more cause we like them and deviate to their looks. Hell, I am a fan of female grappling. While some of the women I follow are ice hot, one of my favorite female wrestlers looks like a man, and another weighs 300 pounds. If I am following a sport or entertainment genre cause I am driven by hormones like a 15 year old, I am wasting my time and my money. Another example, I like and respect Danica Patrick, who can be described in some circles as a stunner off the track. At the same time, I follow Milka Duno, who looks like Michael Jackson.
Oh, and the word hottie should never be used in any context by someone who wants to be taken as a sports pundit. If you want to see how much Laura knows about baseball, see her fantasy team, which has already been relegated from our league once. Her early drafting of Ted Lilly, which happens every time, surely did not help.

As I said at the draft, Ted Lilly, 26-3 this year. Book it. (Or not.)

When I was eighteen years old. I got drunk and had hot make out fun time with Bobby Nystrom of the NY Islanders. I kid you not. We smoked pot and made out in the back of a cab. I will treasure that night until the day I die.

Speaking of "romantic interludes" with sports figures.
A group of people I went to a Yankee game with some years ago, stumbled upon Michael Kay drinking Michelob Ultras in National's Sports Bar (across the street from Angels Stadium).
After rolling out of the place later that night, Kay grabbed a cab, and said to one of the girls ("April") in our party, "April, you coming?"
"April" pondered the offer a bit, then declined. "April" was not an overly handsome woman either.

Cho's skipping the part where he hopped in the cab instead.

Hopefully he simply talked your ear off, and stopped there.
Kay is funny in that he is one of those quasi-celebs, someone in the public eye, that will talk to the "people" so much, the people are the ones that finally have to say, "eh, I gotta go....nice to meet you" instead of the other way around.
We stopped to talk to him outside the Stadium a couple of times, he was so chatty we learned to steer clear after a while.

You should make a point to engage him in conversation as much as possible and use the word "apocryphal" as many times as you possibly can in that chat.

True. But this is still America, and Cho has the right to disagree with me, even if his posts can venture into the appalling level.
And though Cho and I disagree vehemently in that thread, he is 100 percent right about one thing--this thread is MUCH more appalling.

I disagree, but you are entitled to your opinion.
I think rating players on their hottness is a more enjoyable and less pointless use of time than trying to talk sense in the politics thread.

Twilight? Are you stopping at Hot Topic to buy a black shirt first? ;D

It's not complete unless you're 16 years old and you go buy a brand new CRASS t-shirt even though they stopped being a band 10 years before you were born.

To simplify, girls know dick about sports just like it's close to impossible for a girl to be really funny. The sense of humor thing just isn't there for girls.

I can only speak for me, I can't single-handedly redeem ALL females. I think I'm just going to leave this thread alone, because the bile being spouted out is just sad. Have I said that before? maybe...
this thread should be locked and forgotten.

Thanks for compliment James. I'll be sure to let my sports editor know I don't know anything about sports on my next review because I have boobs.

I think I would call out the females who pretend to know baseball while perpetuating the stereotype before I call out some dude who believes it because he's continuously given reason to.

Suzy for what it's worth, I think you know sports better than Bondy and wouldn't mind at all if you had his gig.
