Well know I'm logical because I openly admitted that my knowledge of cricket was lacking.  You are illogical because you don't know much about baseball yet you continue to speak out of your ass about it.  That's the difference. 

I don't deal with illogical arguments which is why I'm not going to respond to the rest.  My point in this thread was to notate what was illogical and explain why others don't have to deal with how illogical it is.  Clearly starting an argument off by showing bias is never a way to make a good argument.  Actually you should have stopped there.  Or simply done as I had, given one side, and then admitted ignorance to ther other side.  That owuld have made you logical.  Instead you defied socratic wisdom, and were shown how illogical it came out to be.

First off, let's just be cool about it! I respect your views but I just think you misread something I was trying to get across

My OP said:

"let's dedicate this thread to points that contribute to each game's merits."

"Anyhow I could write forever about this, I'll leave the rest up to you."

Shouldn't that speak for itself? If you said your views without calling me illogical then that's fine because you were adding points to the discussion, which was the intent.

I know just about everything about baseball, please don't say I don't just because I didn't state everything in the OP (which was stated) :(

"contribute to each game's merits"

Instead you spent the entire OP contributing to cricket's merits (which is reasonable) and the rest discrediting the other sports.  That's a logical contradiction.  Your sentence is thus self-defeating.

I'm sorry but I can't defy logic here and all of a sudden think that this thread was actually created for what you are trying to insinuate now.  I simply came in and followed the thread and gave the merits to the sport I knew about.  In no place did I ever decide to bash cricked or show how baseball ups it in any case. 

But I have, with logic to back me up, questioned your motives and knowledge of baseball due to the way you have presented yourself and the topic.  And considering you also did state you were bias I would say my questioning is not only confirmed but really begs the question of why you are even defending yourself on this.  You acknowledge early on you didn't seek to be logical because you were affirming your bias first. So that's a second logical contradiction

 

You should instead be thanking me for giving the merits of the other sport in question while not taking shots at the other which is what you originally asked for.  And you shouldn't contradict yourself (twice actually).  Either you came in here to give the merits of both or you didn't.  Either you came in here to be logical or you came in here to be bias.  Either way, it is quite obvious to see where my questioning of your character and the nature of this thread has arisen.  Now please show me that you simply worded things wrong and meant to put it another way.  Either way, doesn't matter to me.  I've presented myself correctly in this thread, pointed out the merits of the sport I know about and not tried to deny the other or talk about it ignorantly, and kept a firm but respectful composure.
