Even soccer, boring as it is, might be more interesting than baseball. The myth that baseball is the ultimate intellectual sports pursuit is ludicrous. For one thing pitching is 98% of the sport as Johnson and Schilling proved in the World Series. You can have an excellent team with great pitchers and mediocre or sub-par fielders, but any team with mediocre or sub-par pitchers will get destroyed even with the greatest fielders in the game.

Actually I think all professional team sports as they are currently played are extremely tedious.

Baseball is 10 minutes of excitement squeezed into 2 1/2 hours. Soccer is the same thing with only 2 minutes of excitement. Why do the fans have to pee in the stands?? It's not like they are going to score while you wait at the troughs or anything???

Pray for GW and the Truth
