In addition to being as exciting as watching grass grow and the least physical sport this side of golf baseball is rife with cheaters. I don’t blame kids today for wanting to play basketball, football, soccer, or whatever else over playing a sport that involves standing around for 95% of the time and whose “heroes” are a bunch of drugged out steroid abusers.

Baseball players are steroid users and football players aren't?

LOL!

I like most all team sports. But there is a beauty about baseball that no other sport has. Those that want more "action" in baseball have attention spans of gnats and don't see the inner workings of a complex game.

And every sport gets the 'hero' BS thrown around. Not just baseball.

Yea, nothing more exciting than fouls, time outs, free throws, practically meaningless fist halves, infernal squeaking sneakers on the floor, ghetto culture, blaring rap music, pregnant groupies left and right. And best of all, 30 minutes finish the last 2 minutes of a game.

Sometimes I think basketball doesn't really exist. There's no way such a pointless,stupid game could really be watched or played by anybody. The whole thing, from the NBA to March Madness, is one big practical joke the entire world is playing on me.

Just as an FYI, the coach of my high school football team pushed steroids to his players during the 1970’s - 1980’s. The use of steroids in sports at all levels is not new. The only thing new about it is the feigned outrage from fans.
