Since the sportiest thing hecklerspray has ever done is walk to the front door to collect a pizza, you'll understand that the notion of baseball is unreservedly lost on us. Someone throws a ball at you and you hit it away with a stick? Life just seems a bit too short for that.

Now, StickBaseball is something we can understand the point of a little bit more. Instead of all that tiring stick-swinging, you just get to press and arrow key and bat the balls away. StickBaseball is gorgeous to look at, and wonderfully animated, but the thing is – we still don't understand it. Here's how we've fared at StickBaseball so far – man throws ball, we miss ball, a man shouts "Strike." Repeat a million times and that's the end. We've somehow won StickBaseball each time we've tried to play it – we know this because the indecipherable stats at the end tell us so.
