  1. Lol wasn’t trying to put your in your place, you said you didn’t understand my point. I thought I’d help out.
  2. Who said they couldn’t? Did I say that? I just called them hypocrites, which you cannot possibly argue against.
  3. The organization that says you can’t dip in the dugout allows you to drink in the clubhouse. How is this so hard to understand.
  4. Oh stop don’t be ridiculous. I worked in baseball for several years at a place that had josh hancock’s Jersey hanging in the clubhouse right next to trash cans full of empty beer cans
  5. Yeah, but I highly doubt you’ll find too many places that won’t let you take a smoke break but will allow you to down a 6 pack on lunch.
  6. Like they say “impairment starts with the first drink” Maybe a small percentage of people who drink are addicted, but something like 13% of the adult population is considering to be alcoholics. So if tobacco use is around 6%..
  7. That it’s far more dangerous than dipping tobacco and mlb allows their employees to use it in their clubhouses and their fans to use it in their stadiums, and also profits from it. Sheesh I didn’t know this would be that difficult to comprehend.
  8. There are plenty of laws already concerning use of cars. What point exactly where you trying to make here? It’s always interesting to see how hard some people fight to make sure other people can’t enjoy things that have nothing to do with them.
  9. Believe me, I love my beer drinking as well (I have all the bad habits) so I’m not put off by any of the advertising. I just have a problem with the selectivity of it all. Sure, baseball and tobacco will always be linked and no that’s not a great thing for the kids to see. But I can parent my kids about substance abuse, I don’t need buxton to toss out his wad of dip to make my job any easier.
  10. Kikuchi bends his hat like a little leaguer from the 90s
  11. Actually embarrassing what I just witnessed
  12. Are you going to act like alcohol is not far and away a bigger threat to the health, safety and well being of not only the user but possibly those around them than some skoal? Is that going to be your argument? But alas $$$$$$$ talks
  13. I think the very nature of baseball lends itself to such a habit. Same reason seeds and bubblegum are popular with players. Not really with you on the argument not carrying weight. It’s selective enforcement and incredibly hypocritical, especially when alcohol is not only allowed but the league gladly profits from it. How about showing locker room celebrations where dudes are dousing each other in booze? What does that do for the young kids watching? I mean, banning tobacco in entire stadiums is laughable. “Miller park”, “Busch stadium” lol how about “Copenhagen ballpark”? Have you ever looked at the salt content of sunflower seeds? I would want my employees on a low sodium diet if I’m going to be responsible for their health care!
  14. You say Kikuchi I say Kikachi
  15. What does throwing a dozen Budweiser ads up per game do for perpetuating bad habits amongst fans? I can’t think of a single televised sporting event I’ve ever seen where alcohol wasn’t a prominent advertiser.
  16. Ok then, ban sodas, hot dogs, hamburgers and all unhealthy food from the parks and clubhouses. Heck, alcohol isn’t even banned in all clubhouses, and even where it is I can guarantee the rule isn’t followed. Also, they should stop taking advertising bucks from any breweries and we all know that won’t happen. Alcohol has ruined countless more lives, is more widely abused and is responsible for many more deaths than dipping. Think of how many ball players dip and you can name one who died from it. There have probably been more DUI deaths from players leaving stadiums at all levels than guys who’s jaws have fallen off. It’s selective, feel good policing. That’s all.
  17. I didn’t start dipping because I saw a baseball player on tv do it. It was actually a guy at work that got me into it. Obviously I’m aware of the health issues but once a day suits me just fine.
  18. No Bert, the ball didnt “come up”, he flubbed it
  19. I would have rather lost in 9, if we’re gonna hump our way around the field like this
  20. Dude, how you gonna come all the way back and lose a lead like that
  21. Oof, that’s like my 2 am desperate text to an ex “you awake?”
