Why I Am Not Happy With My Wife

[StlSluggers]

I missed 24 pages of probably excellent discussion last night during the Yanks/Sox game because my wife just does not understand.

First, she turns off the computer around the 8th inning and forbids me from "talking on that stupid site." Then, with two outs in the top of the ninth, she even had the nerve to come in to the living room tell me, "I'm ready for bed. You're coming to bed now, too, right?"



So, since I missed out on all of the fun last night, I just want to say what I would have said had my wife not kept me from the site.

After the A-Rod "sissy slap" incident:

"A-Rod is now the highest paid cheater in baseball."



After the riot police came out:

"And this, folks, is why St. Louis fans are better than any other fan in baseball. You will never in my lifetime see that happen in Busch Stadium."

And, finally, after the game:

"Wow..."



Ok, that's what I would've said. Thanks for listening everyone.

There are no such things as stupid sites, just stupid people who think certain sites are stupid.

Except, of course, for that BlackPeopleLoveUs site...that one is definitely stupid.

i know what u mean, as i was given the choice of being on the computer or watching the ball game on the big screen....so i had to take option b and watch the ballgame....as she wanted to either be on the computer or watch the lifetime channel......... to the lifetime channel.......

but hey even though we have philosphical differences on sports and television, i still love her though......(had to put that in just incase she is looking )

There are no such things as stupid sites, just stupid people who think certain sites are stupid.

i dont think i am willing to tell her that..........

What's wrong Colonel Sanders??? Chicken???

I'm not married yet..... but if I was, and my wife told me to come to bed with 2 outs in the 9th inning of that game, I'd tell her to %$#& herself. And I guess she would, literally but unless it's Heidi Klum or something, I'm not leaving the couch (might even have to stay even after the game when I do decide to go to bed )

StL, your wife's got ya by the short-hairs. Make a stand now or it'll be like this for the rest of your life. Do you really want that to happen?

What was she wearing when she said that? (Some things are more important than baseball you know).

My wife has gotten a bit fed up as well with about 100 hours of Sox/Yanks the past 4 days.

Dang Sluggers, that's some story. I have to agree with Jackal though. You need to make a stand now. The longer you wait, the harder it will be down the line. You don't want to be the old guy standing in the mall holding your wife's purse, do you? That's the path you are headed down.

Luckily for me, my wife's a baseball fan .

I guess I need to clarify.

When she asked me to come to bed, she was not in the mood, so I wasn't passing on that. Also, I did put my foot down. There were only a few things she could have done to pry me away from the rest of the game. Even then, I probably would have to have given it extra thought as last night was a "never in the history of baseball" moment. However, she made me let her "snuggle" with me on the couch while she moaned about how long the game was lasting.

I guess that's a compromise, right?

I'd say you won the battle. The enemy definitely backed down in the presence of danger.

I guess we dont really realize how lucky we truly are Mad. My girlfriend was born and raised in Philly, me in New York, and though she hates the Giants and loves her stupid Eagles, she sucks it up and roots for my teams instead of patronizing me by rooting against me. She loves to watch sports with me and I'm thankful for it everyday. Sorry, STLsluggers, I do know the feeling in the past with different women. Kinda like where I am now though.
