    Re: Fake to third, throw to first move now a balk.

    I used to hate it when pitchers did the fake throw thing and fans would holler "balk!". I'd grouse and mutter "it's not a damn balk, you morons".

    But then I found it to be a liberating thing to holler "balk" along with them. Kinda fun to be a moron baseball fan sometimes.

    I'm disturbed by how often I've found myself "liberated" and complaining with the rest of the heathens. It does feel good.

    The umpires I gaurantee find it amusing too.

    Next to the scenery in the stands, stupid things the fans say in the stands is a common post game discussion.

    I can forgive a lot of things, but being accused of being a Cubs fan is past that line. It's like a Sicilian thing. You no longer exist to me.
