I just heard a message on the radio about bad traffic due to some Mariners-related thing (game? rehearsal? I dunno).

Is it REALLY that time of year already? Fucking hell.

I hate sports.

Me too.

at least ya'll don't live as close to where sports events happen, like i do...it's scary on weekends right around the time people are heading to the metrodome for a twins game, because it seems like there's a sea of people wearing their twins shirts/jerseys/whatever walking around downtown.

i've lived here almost 5 years, and i'm still getting used to the fact that ya'll have a bunch of major league sports teams up here.

Aw hells yeah! Baseball season started last night! Make way for the boys of summer! Sports makes the world go round!

yeah...for me it means swimming amongst a bunch of drunken yuppie fans and their screaming brood. funny thing is that the city's thinking/been talking about building a new baseball stadium that'll be only a couple blocks over from where i live. if that happens, it's gonna suck.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah, that would be annoying if you lived within walking distance of a sports complex. Especially if it was football. At least with football, you only have to deal with those rowdies less than ten times a season. With baseball, it's 81.

Thankfully, the stadiums in Seattle are not directly in my path, but traffic certainly gets snarled before and after games.

And do you think people will take public transportation? NoooOOooOOOOOooo. Fuckers.

What pisses me off is that the city blocks of streets in areas to make traffic flow more smoothly for the sports fans. Excuse me?! They can take the bus/train if they don't like sitting in traffic! Don't punish the rest of us.

This thread needs more straight men. Go sports!

Straight men are useless. Like sports.

some people here in mpls park in one of the parking lots here downtown and they'll hop on the light rail since it stops in front of the metrodome...i've seen other people take the bus to head over here...but still there's folks who are dumb enough to take their cars n'chit.

or how about a gay one who likes sports....there are a few of us.

Reply to 'Baseball traffic?! Already?!?! Dammit!!!!'

I'm straight. I like some Sports. Seahawks and Sonics. I actually attend their games.
I don't have too much interest in the Mariners or Baseball.

Too each their own though. If some like Baseball, that's cool. If some don't. That's fine too.

Yankees scored 15 runs last night! Baseball is back!

Baseball is the greatest sport ever invented. And anyone that argues is wrong.

try living down the street from wrigley field.

I live ten minutes away from Shea Stadium so I kinda-sorta know what other people are complaining about. But I like baseball so much, I just plan my days around those traffic jams on home dates.
