It's good to know that I'm not the only person who thinks baseball is a big bore.

Soccer (Euro "football") is worse, endless, pointless running back and forth with games sometimes won by one goal for the entire time period.

The Italians should have kicked the crap out of Zidane.

No way is the greatest sport ever invented "boring"...Baseball is a chessmatch, only with more strategy (whereas football is more like checkers). One mistake by a pitcher can cost a game...i.e. should I throw a curve, slider, fastball, spitfinger, changeup, screwball, palmball...? The batter has to anticipate the pitch (and the last "best one" to do it (Ted Williams) could only do it 40 percent of the time.
