\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I watched baseball on TV last night for the first time in about 15 years. After watching two innings, I turned off the TV, even though I saw some runs being scored. Baseball is BORING! My god, it is SO slow. It's like trying to watch golf on TV. More than a minute between pitches? At least in football and hockey, you can hit members of the other team. I can't understand why all you guys get your panties in a wad over this sport - geez, baseball makes the Bills' offense seem action-packed! What is it that I'm missing?

aussiew Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 You're missing all the laundry you should be folding and the bills you should be paying while you're watching the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Bone Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Baseball is a game of intellect, just ask George Wills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I agree, baseball needs to impliment a form of playclock like the nfl or shotclock like the nba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmac17 Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I didn't care for baseball much until about 7 years ago when I learned the game and started paying attention it's one thing to know the rules, another to understand the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Baseball is a game of intellect, just ask George Wills. 87570[/snapback] You are showing your NE/eastern roots... I think it is George WILL... Funny in Illinois, the "S" is there and silent, then magically appears in the spoken language. I guess it is the opposite for different regions? In Illinois, they get all pissy if you say IlliNOISE... Yet, somehow Soldier field becomes Soldiers Field, DES Plaines, and so on... I guess they make up for what they can't say in the state name? Kind of funny how that damn "S" just apperars. BTW... Your BoSox are looking mighty good! And no PLAY clock (Pitch clock)... I like the one idea that an announcer had... Raise the mound another 15 inches and give the advantage back to the pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark VI Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Baseball is BORING! What is it that I'm missing? 87416[/snapback] I feel the same way. Soccer and baseball are fun to play. Simply unwatchable from the stands or on TV. Alas, everyone is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 try watching soccer. 87650[/snapback] Don't have to any more..... Salty Dogs to call it quits In two seasons, the Syracuse Salty Dogs went from being a new professional soccer franchise to playing for a conference championship. Today the team will announce that it has suspended operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfanone Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 What I like about baseball is that a hit is a hit. It's never called back. Yeah there are some blown calls, but for the most part the umps don't determine the outcome of the game. I hate football nowadays that I see a big gain, and all that's on my mind is "I hope there is no penalty flag." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
