Europe: Is this the worst time of the year in sports people

[spurraider21]

No, just poorball, tbh....

i know baseball is big in the orient, but its too slow, and thats coming from a big football fan

[Blizzardwizard]

Seriously though, I tried to like baseball, but there's a lengthy ad break every half inning. That's 18 ad breaks in a nine inning game, toss in pitching changes takes the total of ad breaks to over 20. Considering most games start at about 11pm here I'm lucky if I make it past the second inning.

Ann, is that you?

The Boondocks version of her is better.

I'm guessing there aren't any WNBA fans on this board.

Both are boring to watch outside major tournaments/playoffs but fun to play.

baseball getting ass ed in this thread

[BatManu20]

I'm a big fan of football (soccer) so this time of the year is great for me tbh. The best World Cup of my lifetime just ended and still lots of good friendlies taking place. Just got home from the Man Utd-LA Galaxy match actually, and I'll be attending the Real Madrid vs Inter Milan match next week. Awesome month overall tbh.

But yea, baseball highlights dominating SC sucks.
