    Baseball Blows

    Can somebody explain to me how they find this crap mildly entertaining? Of the four day games so far three teams were shutout, another mustered ONE huge run. Can't believe I wasted an afternoon watching this trash.

    Dont penetrating worry about it. Nobody forced you to watch it. Go watch soccer tennis and golf and get back to us.

    I find good pitching performances more entertaining than slugfests.

    LOL

    or you can have fun watching NBA players needing to take 4 steps to convert a layup... or watching a defensive NFL player not even be able to play his hardest because he will get fined or penalized

    have fun watching soccer where they play 90 minutes and sometimes both sides dont score 1 single goal or barely have a shot on net

    you my friend....are an idiot

    Baseball is definitely an acquired taste. I tend to keep a game on as background noise if there is nothing else piquing my interest on tv. Of course if it's a good matchup then I will watch more intently.

    soccer is fckn' boring too though. so many mother lovers in the game clutching their faces when they get clipped in the ankle by an oppent, or rather show off their teammates than take blame themselves in game.

    if you don't like a sport than stop watching it no one is forcing you to watch it. And nothing wrong with low scoring games pitching is what win championships.

    Soccer is not the most exciting sport to watch if you dont understand the game. It is not a sport for people who enjoy high scores. But if you understand the game and have played at a high level then you appreciate the beautiful game.

    I believe every sport should be respected. Baseball is a great sport. Just not one I can watch a full game.

    To each their own.

    Baseball sucks if you have no brain or ADD, which probably accounts for about 90 percent of this board, so yeah.

    True, nobody is forcing me to watch it. Although after NHL playoffs and NBA playoffs (which can be surprisingly not half bad), there is nothing left but this marathon of boredom that is the MLB regular season. I guess enough people like it because they certainly haven't done anything major to change it or make it more interesting. But I come in here and ask why it's so entertaining and I get either a. people bashing every other sport (yes soccer 0-0 draws are also boring as hell) or b. someone telling me not to watch it.

    This can be applied to any sport. Well said.

    The greater you understand something, the more you enjoy the subtle nuisances that the untrained eye cannot see at surface level.

    Absolutely.

    Small things in sports are better appreciated by the trained eyes.

    Im sure there are many baseball fans who enjoy every pitch due to their appreciation for the game.

    Just as I appreciate a great run in a soccer game. Or a well played ball through the defense.

    Its the little things. And thats why we establish ourselves as fans of these games and support these highly paid athletes.

    Thats because they all know it is boring most of the time.

    Nothing like taking a nice Sunday afternoon nap with baseball playing in the background.
