But then again, baseball is such a slow sport they've gotta do something with the down time between pitches. "I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me, and 90% how I react to it.

I know a lot of the players swear a blue streak, and it isn't like I haven't heard it all before. They also spit a lot, if you haven't noticed. And I honestly don't mind it on the internet -- my kindergartner doesn't have viewing privileges on youtube. But there was a moment during the Sox' game vs Tampa after they turned that effing great double play (there ya go) when my five year old asked "Mom, why is Beckett mad? Didn't he get them out?" I said he wasn't mad, honey, he was excited. "But didn't he just use a bad word?" I said it probably wasn't a very good word, but don't worry about it, kiddo. And don't use it, either. My sons' current heros are Red Sox. The five year old has a poster of Beckett in his room. Baseball actively encourages kids to emulate their baseball heros, and I know the players try to be the kind of heros kids should want to be like. I want them to be the kind of heros kids want to be like. That's my only point.

Instead they're going after the 18-35 year olds who can be up at that hour. And I really cannot blaime players for acting out on the field, if they make a mistake you cannot expect at all for them to act like angels and just look at the camera and grab a glass of milk and say oops my bad I'll get them next time. Now if they swear in an interview or something off the field that is something totally different. Like going up to a kid and then swearing that's out of line but to do it on the field sorry there isn't an issue here. ~Chaggy RIP Peggy...the Remdawgs will miss you.

Do you really to have your kids know about who Brady has dated or have them read the stories about Boggs and Adams? How about the Lisa Olsen story? How many women did Wilt Chamberlin claim he slept with, 10,000? As for some of us, we don't want to live in a sanitized world. Besides by the time the kids are in their teens, they will have heard it all anyway. _________________ Green Monster 1947 - 2002. RIP

Rem Pup Posts: 8 10/02/08 9:35 AM	Ooh, you'd think I was trying to take your Andrew Dice Clay videos away from you or something. Yeah, I agree with you -- I don't want my son to emulate those guys. Or Mike Tyson, Michael Vick, or OJ, for that matter. But who do you suggest that he have as a role model? A sex-addicted actor? A gun toting gansta rapper? The president of the United States? There are more than enough lousy examples out there. We learn soon enough that most heros have feet of clay. Why disillusion our kids any earlier than we need to? As for baseball looking for the 18-35 male demographic, do you really think that Jon Lester worries about whether it's you or my granny in Sheboygan watching the game? The people who want that demo are the broadcasters, because they can sell their advertising space for more $$, and the advertisers, who want to sell you cars and beer. And here I thought the playoff games started so late because the Sox are playing on the west coast, not because big boys can be up at that hour. If you were watching Tampa or Chicago, the games start in the middle of the aftenoon. I don't want to sanitize your world, dude. There's plenty of sewage out there to wallow in if that's your thing. It just isn't mine.

That is, unless Daddy is a drug addict who beats Mommy or Mommy is an unemployed drunk who sleeps around or some other messed up situation like that. Then, hopefully, the kids have other family members to be role models. Athletes are athletes. They should be role models...to their own kids...like other parents. http://www.livejournal.com/users/mmc327/

If you were watching Tampa or Chicago, the games start in the middle of the aftenoon. In the middle of the afternoon....the Cubs start time tonight is just about the same start time as the Sox V. angels last night and last I checked the Cubs aren't on the West Coast. And it's not the broadcasters who care about that demo, we could care less it's the producers and the executives who care. And also keep inmind that the World Series games aren't on in the afternoon...nope they start just about 9 PM which is just about the time the Sox started last night and is the time when the Cubs will start tonight. And in response to if Lester cares, ummm yeah he probably does because that demographic are the ones who shell out tons of money to go to the games and drink the beer what not and that pays his salary. ~Chaggy RIP Peggy...the Remdawgs will miss you.
