OT: If you hate baseball, this is the slowest time of the year in sports.

[spurraider21]

i've tried, really can't watch baseball. i'll keep up, scoreboard watch, stats/standings, etc... but can't watch it and its especially terrible on the radio. at least this summer we have the Cup to keep us busy until NFL preseason

[Cry Havoc]

I enjoy the WC but man, it makes Stern look like a straight and narrow kind of dude. 's so corrupt it's closer to WWE than sports at times.

baseball
"sport"
standing around for 10 hours
10 hour games
fat be@ners with oily skin and mustache
steroids
barely move and need steroids
players hit the ball a couple of times during a game, but need steroids for that
fat
spitting
manager dressed like his players; imagine Terry Stotts wearing basketball uni, a headband, and carrying a loaded 45 , or Bellichick wearing a helmet
play by play announcer and fans who when someone finally hits a ball, because nothing happened during the previous 9 hours
Joe Buck
fake intense voice
pretends he gives a , just wants his paycheck
fans sleeping during the game, because no is happening
fans walking around, going to a restaurant and coming back to the game, because nothing is happening and they have all day
fat s
catching a ball with their glove is the most exciting part of the game for fat fans
"let's go to the ball game " song
still living in the 50's
"God Bless America" song in the middle of a WS game, because the national anthem wasn't enough
'Muricaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa propaganda
AIDS buying a baseball team
so called athletes who get "injured" http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb...in-baseball/1/

[TDMVPDPOY]

dont forget cricket, same as baseball...standing on the field for half the day waiting for the ball to fall into ur direction...

yet these clowns down here get paid more then athletes who participate in more exciting entertaining sports...

[TampaDude]

Dude, get with the times and watch the biggest sports event in the World.

Yeah, at least we have the World Cup for awhile...then what? I get to watch the hapless Rays flounder in the cellar of the AL East for three more months?

[IrisHockey]

I've been enjoying the D'Backs. It's on TV here so it's a treat. They got beat by a grand salami last evening. It was like somebody died in the announcing booth. LMAO!!!

What was more devastating, Jose Mesa blowing that save or the Sandman blowing it in 01, game 7 of the world series nonetheless?

You forgot
fatass dh paid to sit on his ass the entire game where he only has to appear 4 times a game and reaches base 1/3 of the time

[Mugen]

World Cup has been great so far tbh, especially the USA game.......

[Malik Hairston]

I was a big MLB fan growing up, tbh, particularly during the steroids era..shunning players like Bonds really killed the game for me, tbh, it was much more exciting watching juiced batters and pitchers..

[Trill Clinton]

damn lefty came through and crushed the buildings. baseball is boring as fucc to watch but i like to play...i'm a natural hitter.

but yea, why do the managers wear uniforms like the players???

[IrisHockey]

I was a pretty good hitter growing up but due to lack of athleticism, couldn't field for jack ... played DH in the local leagues.. wasn't fat though

[JoeTait75]

Thank God. Them moving off the Lake, I mean.

You're still a Cleveland fan, Culb. It's chicken to pretend otherwise.

[Thread]

Thank God. Them moving off the Lake, I mean.

Nonsense. That stadium was fine, seated 80,000. The new one was/is just another toy for the politicos like (light rail) here. Christ, McDonald's doesn't ask us for money to build another restaurant. They just build it and keep all the money. We have to help pay for these stadiums and they keep all the money.

[DAF86]

lefty just destroyed this thread. Anything from this point onwards is irrelevant.

Baseball pretty much IS CRICKET! (minus the gay ass tea breaks.) Just good ol' America stealing something from the Brits and making it their own. Similar to making gridiron football out of rugby football, stealing American from the Indians, etc... Imagine if baseball paused for tea; I'm sure they had the idea of a "7th inning tea break" or some like that.

[Mark in Austin]

It's why I think the NBA should push back it's season. It should start Christmas Day. That's when people start paying attention. Before that it is NCAA & NFL. NBA could dominate the summer.
