AbigailII: you must not watch much baseball, you are wrong on both the points you are trying to make and using baseball as an example...

...1. the bottom of the 9th is NOT always played if the home team has the lead after the top of the 9th !!!

2. the World Series is a best of 7...the first to 4 wins wins...they DO NOT always play 7 games !!!!

awesome: Right, her point was that in baseball (considered the "American sport") games DO end when there is no mathematical way for the team to win. This was in response to tfra11 who is trying to say that it is "UnAmerican" to resign a game that is definitely lost.

She made an excellent point.

rod03801: I think you have it backwards.... in baseball, the game will end if there is no mathematical way for the home team to lose!

Czuch: Well whatever, lol. I wasn't thinking it all the way out. Her point still was that games aren't played out all the way, if they don't need to be.

If you haven't read the whole thread, you will see where she is coming from, if you do.

I'm as American as any other American, and I have certainly resigned games that are mathematically impossible for me to win, and I feel comfortable saying that probably most others do as well. It was an inaccurate generalization on the part of tfra11.

rod03801: It was more than simply an inaccurate generalization, it was flat out a misrepresentation
