Baseball.

I am listening to the Indianapolis Indians online right now.
It is the most fun sport to go to I think. I love the ballpark here. It is also the most affordable sport in Indianapolis, much better than the Colts and Pacers and even better than the really low level hockey team.

Hurling? Is that like when you eat too much food or drink too much beer?

Rich, I like you. But to subject your poor children to the torture of having to wear a Cowboys jersey is just not right. Why not put on the Burgundy and Gold so they can enjoy their childhood.

My choice would have to be College Basketball followed quickly by College football. If this was a few years ago, I would have said hockey, but years and years of living in the desert wasteland that is Washington Capital-land has turned me a little sour.

Can there be any other sport besides "Bowling for Bawb?" The above Bawb bowling logo was the original prototype. Initially we adopted the more emergent "Bob", thinking that it would have a broad appeal. But after a while we decided that we should not tinker with sheer Bawbness.

I like how the last bowling pin and ball on the right forms an exclamation point as if to emphasize how excited we are at the Church of Bawb!

You're my kind of guy.

Guys like tellville would be able to verify this. They know that I am a diehard hockey all the way. Curious to see what the Buffalo Sabres will do this season after losing Chris Drury and Daniel Briere. But they kept the old guy: Teppo Numminen. (2.6 million US for this coming season)

Oh, well. At least they still have Brian "Soupy the Hitman" Campbell.

:P

Look out for the Capitals this year, guys. Their rebuilding plan is going much quicker than they thought. They might even make the playoffs!
