I just don't understand American Baseball

I kinda' get the idea that batting .400 is a great thing in baseball as it is hard to bat a ball going very fast. The fact that .400 means that 60 per cent of the time you do not even reach First Base is not even considered bad at all.

I am having problems with the idea of players reaching first base though. To do so, you have to hit the ball and run to first very fast before the ball reaches there before you do.

But, I found other ways to get there that you don't even have to run and cannot even begin to explain how it is done. I remember one time a guy simply got off and let another player take his spot. I guess he thought the other guy needed some practice.

Then, I am reading this thing about really good hitters getting a WALK. I did not realize that 4 balls (opposite of Strikes) awarded you First Base as well. Once there, then you can get another guy to run for you as I tried to explain above.

Now, to add to the confusion, I have provided a LINK below to show you how 4 balls do not even get you to first base like I tried to explain above.

It allows for a Round-Tripper-Touch-All-Bases-Home-Run

You figure it out ... I am going back to jump rope.

It looks like the players are executing the squeeze play, Lisa. But what do I know. I always had trouble getting to third base, let alone crossing home plate.

Happy New Year to you, Lisa. May you and his thread prosper in the coming year.

Dear Dire:

Thanks for the information.

It took me a few moments to determine the meaning of "squeeze play" as it relates to baseball.

The closest I got with a search at Yahoo was "squeeze bunts stress they (guys) must get the bat on the ball no matter where it's pitched".

Although not neccesarily ruining the moment, I have been noted to miss getting to the balls and its accompanying bat at a moment when a pitch is being thrown. It may have led to an error and a possible man on first, but with the help of another, we performed a double play.

Hope that clears things up.

By the way, this thread has a few more than 400 postings. It could be argued that it is batting over .400, a real plus in basball, and that is not just my squeeze play talking either.

Batting .400 +

Silly me ... In my last post, I failed to include a link to Ms. Lee. After all, the banter occuring amongst the fans is one thing, but we do have a star player and without her, the stadiums would be empty.

Here she is in a double header ... one outdoors in lovely sunshine .... and another under the lights in an indoor facility.

The pics cannot be clicked on to enlarge, but they are nice in that all the elements of baseball as discussed above are on display. The only think missing are popcorn and cracker jacks ......... however, do not dispare ....... tube candy is plentiful and comes in those wonderfull squeezed tube containers. I enjoy its wonderful flavor that is never lost and keeps on coming.

I look forward to my own, "Take me out to the ole' Ballgame" very soon.

The least I can do is provide the popcorn, Lisa. Here you go :popcorn:

Thanks, one and all for the tasty links. :thumbsup:
 
Lucie Lee does not appear in the LINK in post 409

I am not sure the sigificance of Post 409 as the link it contains has nothing to do with Ms. Lucie Lee. If I find otherwise, even remotely, I apologize in advance.

Sure wish there was a way to eliminate it. I did venture to see it and nothing but 3 young ladies visiting each other in a wonderful fashion of gaity and nudity, but purely sophomoric as to even one picture of Ms. Lee.

So I urge all who are apt to be urged by urges, not to visit the link. It will not cause any permanent harm, but be forewarned ..... you will see three naked girls in various stages of dress and play, and not even a sniff of our Ms. Lee.

You have been fairly warned and dutifully urged,

Lisa

You're totally right, this post corresponds to another thread, it was a terrible mistake, sorry.

Please to moderators, delete that post (and this of course, if possible)
Thanks

Thanks for the popcorn, dire need. You came to the rescue for sure.

I like mine with hot butter as evidence in the second movie clip or the last of the still pics in the LINK below. Afterwards, I would like to keep the cute container as a souvenir.

And, pretty please, can I take Ms. Lee to the game with me ... but if only one ticket, I will let her sit on my lap.

Play Ball, lisa

You're welcome, Lisa. I'm glad you liked the hot buttered popcorn - not too salty, I hope.

Of course, you can take Ms. Lee to the game with you, Lisa. I'd be delighted to explain the ins and outs of the game to both of you. And I won't make you double up on the seat, unless you prefer it that way. Perhaps a lap dance by Ms. Lee, before the game, would get the ball rolling.

Would you be disappointed if I took you girls to a college football game instead of a baseball game? I think football, American style, is more exciting. I'm sure you and Ms. Lee would enjoy the spectacle of twenty-four tall, muscular men grappling and grunting as they struggle for possession of the ball. And you would be impressed by the size of Beaver Stadium, it's huge. (By the way, you won't see any beavers there...well, not unless you make a concerted effort to glimpse them. They are shy creatures by nature.) There is a cozy inn nearby the stadium where we could replay the events of the day over drinks and dinner. They don't call that place Happy Valley without reason.

Lisa, please excuse this short thread hijacking.

Say Dire, how bout those Nittany Lions last night? :thumbsup:
 
Nittany and a psu. I don't know what quite to say.

Dear icerfanpsu and dire:

I am a bit confused as I consider myself well versed in the English language but idioms and slangs and the banter between friends or foes is a bit tough to follow.

Let's take the word "Nittany". There just "ain't" one. The closest my English dictionary admits to is "nitwit" meaning "stupid or silly person" or in this case a "stupid or silly lion". ...... So, Dire, I am not one to tell on anyone, but .... I think icerfanpsu is calling you names. I don't know how he knows what a dumb lion is, but I don't think he cares as long as he "gets your goat".

Anyway, don't mind him as he thinks "pussy" is spelled "psu" as his name suggest. And, please understand me, although I am glad I have one, I am certainly glad I am not one ... and ....... at least, I know how to spell it!

Hope this clears up a lot ... ........

AND ONE MORE THING ............

You boys QUIT FIGHTING in THIS THREAD!!!!!!!!!!!

Nittany Lion
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
(Redirected from Nittany)

The Nittany Lions logo.The Nittany Lion is the mascot of the Pennsylvania State University in State College, Pennsylvania in the United States. It refers to the mountain lions that once roamed nearby.
The mascot was the creation of Penn State senior H. D. "Joe" Mason in 1907. While on a 1904 trip to Princeton University, Mason had been embarrassed that Penn State did not have a mascot. Mason, of course, did not let that deter him...he fabricated the Nittany Lion on the spot and proclaimed that it would easily defeat even the Princeton Bengal tiger. Upon returning to campus, though, he set about making his invention a reality. In 1907, he wrote in the student publication The Lemon:
"Every college the world over of any consequence has a college emblem of some kind—all but The Pennsylvania State College... Why not select for ours the king of beasts--the Lion!! Dignified, courageous, magnificent, the Lion allegorically represents all that our College Spirit should be, so why not 'the Nittany Mountain Lion?' Why cannot State have a kingly, all-conquering Lion as the eternal sentinel?"
Mountain lions had roamed on nearby Mount Nittany until the 1880s, when they were eliminated. The origin of the name "Mount Nittany" is obscure, the most commonly accepted explanation being that it is derived of Native American words (loosely pronounced as "neet-a-nee") meaning either "single mountain" or a protective barrier against the elements.
The name was readily accepted without a vote of the student body. In 1907, the first tangible lion symbols appeared with the placing of two alabaster African lion statues, left over from the Pennsylvania exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis Exposition, atop the columns at the main campus entrance on College and Allen streets. They were affectionately dubbed by the student body as "Pa" and "Ma." In the 1920s, a pair of stuffed mountain lions was placed in the Recreation Building to watch over athletic events. One of these original lions is now located in Pattee Library on the Penn State campus. About that same time, the tradition was established of having a student dressed in furry-lion outfits appear at football games. There is also a fight song played during football games entitled "Nittany Lion".

Heheheh! No, Lisa, icerfanPSU isn't trying to pick a fight with me. IcerfanPSU wants to know if I am thrilled about the Nittany Lions football team winning the Orange Bowl game with the FSU (Florida State U.) Seminoles. The Orange Bowl is an annual competition between two top college football teams. It's a big deal for college football fans in the States. And I am thrilled that the Nittany Lions
won, it's a cause for rational exhuberance. :party:

I thank robertodiaz123 for clearing up the confusion about the meaning of "Nittany Lions" and "PSU".

There are few pussies at PSU, but there are plenty of beavers (American slang) on the university campus. ;)
Lisa, I'm amused that you think "PSU" is a misspelling of "pussy". Well, I'm not surprised that pussy is on your mind, because Ms. Lee arouses the same connection in my thoughts, too.

Cheers,
