    Question A pitcher's park?

    "Whate'er should be our Zodiac's star
    We all are born to make or mar.
    To each is gi'en a bag of tools
    Some mentors, and a set of rules:
    And each must carve, ere life has flown,
    A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"

    Only time will tell, but my best guess is that it will be a hitter's park overall, but probably not a good park for home runs. Of course, it it's a poor home run park, a lot of people are going to think that means it's a pitchers' park, regardless of its othe effects.

    I hope that it won't be a pitchers park, pitching duels bore the hell out of me.

    ?

    They do bore me, I like to see hits, runs, HR. Anything else is pretty boring.

    I gotta admit I love pitching more than offense. Given the choice between watching a guy dominate hitters or a lineup demolish a pitcher, I would much rather watch the pitcher dominate. Eventually watching a team demolish a pitcher gets super boring.

    The most boring thing for me is a blowout or watching a team score 5+ runs in the first inning.

    Am I one of the few baseball fans that just doesn't care what type of game it is, as long as it's baseball?

    Probably :P

    It's not that we care what type it is, it's just that lots of fans have games they enjoy more than others; or maybe it's just me >.>

    I still remember the game Greg Maddux threw for the Braves in... 1998 I think. He pitched a complete game on something like 85 pitches.

    Damn, I'm gonna miss him.
