They're not the only stubborn traditionalists. So am I.
The DH rule sucks. Waiting for a jack (Bochy Ball) instead of running the bases (Billy Ball) sucks. Artificial turf sucks. Bashing from the baseline (Federer/Nadal) instead of serve-and-volley (McEnroe) sucks. Etc., etc., etc.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

What the fuck are you blabbering about?
And you couldn't be more wrong about Federer/Nadal. Obviously you didn't see their Wimbledon match two years ago, considered by many to be the greatest match ever. That wasn't just a 'bash from the baseline' match.
It takes a lot for me to watch something other than soccer (especially a World Cup game), but this match is absolutely remarkable. I went out to get food at 40-40 and came back and it was 47-46...now 49-48. This is ridiculous!
I was going to go into work in the afternoon, but I decided against it because of this and now the interest in the Group D matches. Good thing the boss is cool with it.
I think Mahut wanted to go at 59-59...Isner thought there was enough light to serve again...I think the Frenchman wanted a fresh start to battling Isner's serve tomorrow...98-95 is the ace count, 70-69 in the 5th alone...I was egtting sick and tired of Hannah Storm (no tennis pedigree) saying wow weve bnever seen this before...NO SH!T B!TCH, STFU!!!!

Yeah, he's clearly NOT from Iowa.
Whenever it gets to 68-68 in Iowa, they go to a sixth set.
Wrong. They start over, but there are no breaks in between serves or switching sides. They have 3 seconds. And no water breaks either. In fact, they are only allowed to drink tomato bisque soup. In 3 seconds.

That's an upset I don't want to see happen. I really like watching Nadal play. He just plays too hard and it takes a toll on his body. When he is healthy and on his game he is the best in the world.
He's up 3-0 in the fourth set. That's a good sign.
