I'm sitting in my room right now watching the Angels play the Blue Jays. They are in the bottom of the 17th inning. I think they should call it a tie and turn off the stadium lights. Anyone endure a game longer than 9 innings before?

Someone who is sitting watching a 17th inning stalemate baseball game (which ALREADY is a game that consists mainly of just standing around) telling ME to "get a life".

The Rangers, a year or two ago, went to 20-something I think. Maybe 23? I know for sure it was at least 17. They were scheduled a double header but played through it.

And just why the #&(@)*!&(@&*!)(&$ would they do that? The game is played til it's over, and a team wins, regardless of how long it takes...clearly you are not a baseball fan with a freakin attitude like that...

Call it a tie? Are you out of your ever loving mind? Oh, wait...I forgot who started this thread. After the fiasco of the All-Star Game when Spinless Simpering Selig with his backbone made of Jell-O called the game to the jeers of the media and the fans, a baseball game will be called a tie roughly the same day you actually attend law school - never. Besides that, how in the hell would you figure a tie into the standings? Critical thinking is obviously not your forte. Ties, quite simply, suck and are a rarity in almost all sports except hockey, which is eliminating them.
Edit: Notice he's in "his room." Not his apartment, not his living room, not his bedroom, but "his room." Anyone else notice that's a term predominantly used by those who live with their parents still? Could our legal beagle be faking it?
