and rooting for them because I will root for LSU in checkers or table tennis, but...

I don't enjoy softball. I don't like the dugout rah-rahing. The game just isn't as fun...seems to me that the pitcher can absolutely dominate.

Am I in in the minority?

I could care less about what happens with the softball team during the regular season, but when the supers and CWS come.....I love watching LSU softball. Unless they don't make it, of course.

What I don't like is the beating of the ball into the dirt and there ain't shite you can do about it...weak.

True, and much more than in baseball, but it's not like they go out there and pitch no hitters often.

I guess the dugout environment is meant to be fun and loose, but all that cheering shite gets on my last nerve.

There have been major league players that have done this. I recall one, Bake McBride, a speedy left-hander that would do it, and by the time the ball came down, it was too late to throw him out. However you can get on, it's good.

Its pretty much the same thing that goes on at football and basketball games IMO. Besides the fact that cheerleaders are usually hotter then saftball girls.

Brett Butler was also an offender of the high chopper.

I don't like that the bases are like 15 feet apart

+1. So why don't women play baseball? They played it during WW2, so why not now?

They're called Slappers.

What's the deal with Ashley Langoni's Lloyd Christmas (Dumb and Dumber) haircut?

I mean really. I'm sure she's very nice, but c'mon.

Why do you want to ruin the party while other people enjoy it?

The girls are hot, man

I used to like watching Emily Turner pitch, especially the centerfield camera shots. Could watch that all day.

But yeah, IMHO they need to either move the circle back or put some sort of limit on how much one pitcher can pitch. Much too pitcher dominated.

Unfortunately we didn't have anywhere near a dominant pitcher...and I was actually surprised they pounded ASU yesterday.
