Baseball. A little more exciting than watching paint dry.

If baseball is too boring for you, you can always get pumped to watch the USA in the World Cup next year. Oh, wait.

Actually baseball used to be a great game to watch. Growing up, I used to go to Fenway Park dozens of times a year, on my newspaper route money. The games moved a lot quicker then. An average 9 inning game might be done in two hours.

Now the games drag on to a ridiculous four hours or more. All the commercial breaks for TV, the pitching changes, the conferences on the mound, the batters continuously moving in and out of the batter's box to scratch their balls in order to throw the pitcher's timing off, etc.

Then watching home on TV, you get all that mindless chitter-chatter between pitches by the announcers and the distracting whiz-bang graphics.

Wasn't always that way. When I went as a boy, I used to actually score the games with a pencil and the game program. That forced you to pay attention to every pitch. Nobody does that anymore.
