    Baseball is all about cheating.

    Does your bullpen stink? You can pay a lot of money for some good pitching or you can buy some lumber and build the giant wall in left field.

    Are you stuck with a shallow outfield? That's okay. Just let plants grow all over the wall and call anything that gets caught in there a double.

    And who needs to be nice to the visiting team? Put crappy water fountains in their dugouts.

    And while your at it, put a lip-reader in the bleachers with a pair of binoculars and a walkie-talkie to steal the other teams signs.

    Thank goodness there's no cheating going on anymore.

    @OMG! Ponies!: Why do you need a lip reader to read hand signs? Shouldn't you get someone who understands ASL?

    @GitEmSteveDave_woot!sOffSoHard: I hope you're kidding man. If you're not, then I guess I'll inform you that the signs in baseball do not involve ASL. They are generally a series of essentially random movements made by the third base coach, until he makes the motion that is the "indicator", which is followed by the motion or touch that is the "sign," which tells the batter and any runners what they should do (hit and run, take, bunt, steal, etc.)

    @iamskew001: Yes, it involves hand signals, which someone who knows ASL would be very good at picking up, while someone who lip reads, wouldn't. They are also made by people OTHER than the third base coach, like the catcher, which is the most important one, actually, so you can decode what pitch is coming.

    It's like the concept used in the cork center variations for bowling balls I suppose -- my ball that I used for my HS bowling team (I can hear you laughing) was off center right because I was left handed and with the littlest effort it would break into a nice curve.

    @BergenCountyJC can edit his name?: Did I ever tell you my idea for a sport which was a cross of miniature golf and bowling? It involves ramps and drop offs that emerge in other lanes. It looks amazing...in my mind!

    I've been stifling laughter all morning thanks to that site. It's like Cake Wrecks, but with a sharper tongue and a lot more vag. Beats the heck out of craftastrophe, too.
