Same here. There’s no way for the cool NFL players to self police the jerkwads. Modern officiating, all the camera angles, each single game meaning so much as far as a successful season doesn’t allow for it.

Most of the sports talking heads in the media hate baseball because the inherent nature of the game allows for self policing. No one moonwalks to first after drawing a walk because no one wants 90+ in the ribs sometime later in the season. Not being able to act like you are a pro-wrestler is antithetical to the current culture.

Good games so far (I'm a Red Sox fan), but on just too late - I can only watch the 1st five innings - bummer.

Yep. That's the main reason I don't watch it past the first few innings. What I've seen so far has been great, though.

RE: There are too many mouthbreathers who won’t watch if it does not involve the Yankees or Red Sox.

Hey! I resemble that!

I agree. They should go back to having scheduled doubleheaders and have the regular season end by mid-September and the whole shabang over 10 October.

And stop the stupid interleague play.

The Giants have little star power either. This is probably the weakest combined starting pitching of any World Series ever.

I feel your pain, dead, as I’m in the same boat as you.

But fear not! We will win again one day, and it will feel GREAT!

Let’s Go Mets!

Err, I intended to write that other "B" city the Royals shut out - Baltimore!

Entirely too much Royalmania going on.

Agree with everything, but....I’d also ditch the DH. (I’m old school.)
