Guy runs to one side of court. Throws ball in the hoop. Guy runs to other side of court. Throws ball in hoop. Repeat for an hour.
At least baseball involves tension and suspense.

That would be a double no-hitter. And it wouldn't even take 3 hours, closer to 2. Yeah, I would like to see that!
Soccer is like hockey, but on a bigger field. At least things are happening.so how do you people who find baseball boring, feel about soccer?

A 3-hit shutout, woohoo! I'd like to see one tomorrow in fact.Originally posted by: Deeko
it was an exaggeration. Ok fine, there are 3 hits in a 3 hour game. Once again, WOOHOO exciting. I'd rather stare a rock and see if it moves.
This has been an all-around good postseason. Except for the Red Sox running themselves out of innings, arggghh :disgust:Originally posted by: darkeneddays

Word. Me too.
I can't get into regular season games. "Oh darn, we lost, no biggie we still have 100+ games left in the season."
So many games waters down the thrill of winning. At least the playoffs are a tense due to the "do or die" feeling.
Note: I only watch basketball in the postseason for the same reasons mentioned above...

Baseball is effin' amazingly good. A pitcher and a quarterback in football -- they're out there...alone, and millions of eyes are on them. Just them. Amazing nads needed. The strategy, the margin for error, and I thought this was a forum of geeks! The statistics! Baseball has isolated incedents which allow patterns to develop and strategies to be played out. Ask a baseball fan who has the 2nd most HRs of all time and s/he'll know. Ask them about statistics like BA, OBP, SLG, Ks, BBs, SBs, HRs, 2Bs, etc etc and they [should] know.
The strategy that goes into every single pitch of every game is what makes baseball so great. The fact that they DO have to play 162 games a year, that they have to go to work, day in and day out, just like us, and stay calm and do their job is what makes baseball great. They dont get all hyped up and adrenalined up like in football (which i love, too), they need to relax.
And long seasons cheapen every win? At the end of this season, the Cubs won their division by one game, and the third place team had just three less wins... over 5 months, three wins separated three teams. Every game matters.
Watch Bull Durham or Field of Dreams guys
