Tell him that you think Roger Clemens will sign as Yankee when he comes back to play in May. He'll do that because the Astros can't score any runs and their bullpen has already blown a couple of games. He wants to play for another championship, and with the lineup the Yankees have and the amount of runs they'll be able to score the Yankees will give him the best chance of that.

Here are some talking points/questions that might score you some points in the 'baseball department':

1) When his team is pitching (throwing the ball) you can say/ask: He's pitching great this year! What's his E.R.A. (earned run average)?

2) When referring to the NY Yankees, unless he is a Yankees fan you can say: These guys make too much money! FYI: The yankees are always on TV so they're easy targets.

3) When an umpire makes a bad call and he is upset, say: COME ON BLUE!! You're giving them the freaking game!

4) Remember that points scores are called RUNS.
NOT: touchdowns, goals or baskets.

5) And buy at least one piece of paraphanelia of his team that you can wear when you go to a game or watch together: hat, t-shirt, earrings, something AND then say that if he keeps making fun of you, you'll wear his rival teams gear
