You watch pro wrestling, and as much as I love soccer there's a lot of people who find that boring too. Oh yeah, almost forgot about Shenmue.
Be a hypocrite about things being boring when you advocate it elsewhere, brehs.

i just wanted to get some people mad. I see you triumph. :tocry
Why do I feel like the World Series used to not be at the end of October and baseball ended in early September? I'm looking at Wikipedia and it's been this way since the 1960's.

watching football in a packed stadium :lawd
The NBA definitely has the most worthless regular season.
well in light of the Tigers fuck up I feel confident in asking what I assume is a dumb baseball questions: are pitchers required to wait for a batter to get ready for the pitch? Is there an equalivent of a "hurry up/no huddle offense" where a pitcher just keeps throwing, and doesn't give the batter time to get ready - and would this be legal.

As long as time hasn't been called and the batter has both feet in the batters box the pitcher can go. There's really no way to control that, but when a pitcher starts throwing the very moment the batter steps in the box it's called quick pitching and some times people get pissed. I used to do that shit all the time back in my playing days because I really had no patience for all these dudes who would step out every single pitch. They try teaching batters to get ready faster in youth leagues but it's not emphasized nearly as much.
Baseball would be way better if they sped that shit up. The pace of this at bat is just :lawd

Do you remember Nomar Garciaparra of the Red Sox? Dude would adjust his gloves like crazy as per his usual routine. HIs at bats were grueling to watch.

Did the empire get hit at the end?
But really, 97MPH fastballs are rare IIRC. Mostly because that's a bit outside of most pro-pitchers pitching ability IIRC. Easy to blow your arm out if you do that "limit" constantly.
when dudes step out of the batter box, tap their cleats, and do a little stretch...

thats the problem with american sports the regular season is meaningless. you could win every game during the season but make one mistake in the post season and you're out :/
Baseball is a sport where an elite performer fails 70% of the time, and you generally need at least two people, each of whom succeed 25-30% of the time, to succeed in the same inning in order to score a run. So the very nature of the sport requires a rather large sample size to differentiate the great teams from the average teams, and then you throw the teams into a first to 3 wins playoff where your elite hitter can go 1 for 12 over 3 games, or your elite pitcher can give up 7 runs, and that's that.
There is no fucking way the Kansas City Royals were a better team than the Anaheim Angels (not giving them my city) this season, and yet they just eliminated them in three games.

Playoffs serve no purpose other than to let corruption take hold so the NFL MLB and NBA can have their big market teams in the post season to make money.

Oh yeah, look at those big market Royals and Orioles fighting it out in the ALCS. That was totally rigged for the massive TV ratings and ad money.
Kids today have no patience. Which is why baseball is hurting. It isn't the games fault, it's your lack of ability to concentrate for more than 5 minutes at a time.
:umad

My main sport is one where there's two 45 minute halves with no commercial breaks except for half time. Uhhhh, attention span isn't an issue here.

Not to forget those pesky Oakland A's!
Baltimore is the 26th largest TV market in the US.
Kansas City is the 31st largest TV market in the US.
Those teams don't pull in huge national audiences. The Bay Area is the 6th largest, but people outside Northern California don't give a shit about the A's. If MLB had their way it would be Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Cardinals, Phillies, etc. every single year.

And let's not forget Oakland has San Francisco to contend with.
