I can somewhat relate to your experience with lack of baseball knowledge. Coming home from my baseball game tonight, I was in a van full of 7 Cubs "fans". I was the lone Sox fan and heard all about how the Sox are only in first because their division sucks and all that s***. One of the stupid things was a kid argued with me that Borowski is on the DL, he insisted that Joe was not on the DL. Also, they said Hideki Matsui was being traded to the Cubs, and how a potential trade of Vlad and Vidro for Sammy was a bad move. Also, they said Griffey was on the DL and hit his 500th home run last season. I also got punched and abused with parental consent for being a Sox fan and cheering when the Cubs lost. Another thing that is not baseball related was one kid claiming how Diet Coke and regular Coke were the same exact thing.
