Power Pros Forum

Left handed people have a natural advantage in pretty much every sport. And yes, true they can only play first, the outfield, and pitch, but, typically they make better first baseman, outfield... Well that's a toss up. Lefty pitchers most certainly have an advantage over righty pitchers. Doesn't mean they're all better than righties, but they have an advantage, since they're pitches are (to quote one of my coaches from last year) "extra wacky."

Only 10% of males are lefties, and only 8% of females, so it's pretty rare to come by a lefty. I'm perfectly fine with being right handed (I actually am happy I'm a right handed thrower, since I love playig third, but I typically play leftfield anyways.) I'm proud with who I am! (I would love to be perfectly ambidextrous, but eh, whatever).

And Brewers, you're right righties do live longer, since the body is composed for righties, and being a lefty puts more strain on your left side, which contains your heart.

BUT, back on topic I shall be updating this either tonight, or tomorrow.

Back off topic(sorry), but my sister's boyfriend is perfectly ambidextrous.

That must be awesome.
Pablo Sandoval is perfectly ambidextrous, bee tee dubs.

I was going to update this tonight, but, I must watch the Bruins, only 13 minutes left.

This. Is. Intense.

How 'bout the riot in Vancouver? WHERE'S THE MOUNTIES???? Go Bruins! I hate Canadian teams. I'm countryist.(biased toward my country ) Sorry whoever is from Canada. I know there's one of you on the forum.

The riots over there are just embarrassing, 4 people got stabbed. STABBED. Because a hockey team lost.

Embarrassing.

Why were they stabbing each other? It doesn't even make sense.

It doesn't make any sense. Honestly. It's like when the PS3 was released, someone got shot... And died, I believe.

Is it honestly that big of a deal? Get over it, there's always next year. (Ask Cubs fans, they know).

“Seriously?”
- Tony Blanco

Nagoya Dome, Nagoya, Chubu – Manager, Akinobu Miyumi’s quote sums up the entire game. Seriously? We should have won this game, no question. But an error by Ryo extended the 5th, allowing 3 runs to score. Which in the end, was a problem. Despite that error, he did mighty fine on the offensive side of things, going 3-5, with a double, and 2 RBI. Tani, like usual, produced in the clutch (early in the game) to give the Tigers the lead 7-4 with a 3-run bomb to left field. Kawamoto, too, got 3 RBI himself and a double too.

Rookie Nabeshima (of the Dragons) had the game of his career, going 4-5, with 3 RBI in the Dragons win. Before the start of the game, he was batting a nice .068, but now, he’s at .200! Congratulations!

In other (bad) news, Fumihiko Saito made a nice diving catch in the 8th inning, but came out of the game complaining of arm pains. Turns out, he hurt his arm, and will be out for the next 5 days. Nothing major, but still, it hurts. Keiichi Hirano will be starting in place of him, for the time being.

*sigh*

Sorry. I couldn't resist...
How are they doing this year?

They're full of suck. Though they did beat the Yankees yesterday.

Well at least they beat the Yankees!

But that sucks that they suck...

Well, the Brewers are on top of the NL Central! Only one game ahead of the Cards. I can't wait for Sunday!(Brewers' game)

Oh yeah, I saw that! That's awesome!
I've always been partially a Brewers fan, so I'm happy for them!
