TV SHOWS COLUMNS FEATURES CHATS QUESTIONS

Quotation Marks – Baseball? Why baseball? It is so boring!

Take a look back at the week in quotes, as the Clique offers up our favorites of the week. If we missed yours, share it in the comments!

I’m excited that Chuck is back, but looking at the ratings I might be one of few. But the show’s bit about baseball was incredibly well timed, considering how events conspired to have the show go up against Game 7 of the World Series.

Chuck (Review)

“Premature zoom? Really? Crap. OK … OK, what do I do?” – Morgan
“Think about baseball.” – Chuck
“Baseball? Why baseball? I mean, come on. It is so boring; just pitch the damn ball already. And enough talk with the statistics. Chuck, do you know what slugging percentage is, because I don’t know what slugging percentage is, right? And honestly? Who the hell cares? [pauses] Alright, that worked.” – Morgan

The Secret Circle (Review)

“You’d think that, but no.” – Alice 

“Well, they say at the end of your life you regret the things you didn’t do more than the things that you did. And I’m pretty sure Alice is the stuff I want to do.” – Leonard

“4C … Are you blind?” – Colette

Given who you are talking to, Michael, the proper response would have involved quoting the Wall Street Journal study that showed the average football game only contains 11 minutes of actual play. I didn’t say it. The Wall Street Journal did…

He responds in emoticons … and you want me to explain a Wall Steet Journsuotation to hi

And when its the Redskins playing, its even less time worth watching.

October 30, 2011 at 10:14 PM

I feel exactly the same way…only about all games. I refuse to call them “sports” because it’s just a way of giving games more credibility than they should have.

Watching people play games is as satisfying to my need for competition as watching people eat is satisfying to my appetite. It does nothing for me.

October 30, 2011 at 10:15 PM

So, in your vernacular, does “sport” actually mean anything? :P

October 30, 2011 at 10:22 PM

In my book “sport” would apply to hunting, fishing, nicknames and general tomfoolery. Basically killing something to eat and/or goofing off for fun, where the latter can be had whilst doing the former.

To that, sir, I say “To each their own.”

And to mine, I’l take my football, basketball and other games of organized, athletic competition :)
