Man, I agree with this. My grandmother knew more about baseball than anyone I've ever met. And she was a big LSU fan, too. I cannot imagine how much yelling she would have done if she had been alive to see that game last night.

My grandpa played baseball for the Minden Redbirds and coached for a lonnng time so he knows what hes talking about, but he gets pissed so much. Anytime we walk the first batter he starts screaming at the TV screen. EVERYTIME mitchell comes to the plate he screams "GET HIS OUT OF THERE, SON OF A BITCH COULDNT HIT A LEFT HANDER IF HE WANTED TO!" Its funny as hell when you watch games with him on some occasions, but when it gets intense his bickering is very irritating.

Sounds like my old man. Since he is old and set in his way, I try to give him some leeway. It is hard, especially because the bitching as well as my aggravation increase with the relative importance of the game.

I know the feeling, my family doesn't understand the fundamental phrase "that's baseball." If a bloop single scores a go ahead run in the 5th for the other team, our pitcher is an idiot and we are doomed to lose the game.

I pretty much have to watch LSU alone. I'm always screaming, throwing things, stomping and cursing like a bar full of sailors.

I wish my relatives were that passionate about LSU sports. What makes watching with my relatives hard is that they know absolutely nothing about LSU and ask questions throughout the game about who the player is at the plate or when the regional tournament starts; I guy actually asked me that last week.
