Baseball Sucks
Don’t worry, I’m not turning into a sports geek blog, but I really hate this time of year in terms of sports and I have to get this off of my chest. For me, the time between March Madness and the kick-off of football season is a dead zone for sports. Baseball fucking sucks, the NBA play-offs are boring as hell, and does hockey still have a league?
As far as baseball goes, the players are pussies, they won’t play in the rain or snow (or if the ump farts too loud), and they are overpaid prima-donnas. The league minimum salary is $390,000 in 2008 and the average salary from 2007 was $2.8 million, seriously let that sink in and remember that 2.8 is an AVERAGE. Compare that salary to yours and think about what they offer in return for such huge salary’s… entertainment, often times shitty entertainment. Anyway, 2.8 mil seems a bit low, isn’t it time for them to strike again?.
The season lasts 17 and half years with a 10 year play-off, and it’s like taking a cheese grater to your scrote to watch it on TV. Granted, it is kinda fun to go to the ballpark every once and a while, but let’s face it, it is normally just an excuse to get wasted. I think the reason hard-core baseball fans are such fucking stats dweebs is because the game is so mind-numbingly dull that they have to fill in the time with worthless trivia.
Jebus… I can’t wait until football season.

Not to make too fine a point, but the FINAL FOUR is this weekend, so the sports doldrums don’t happen until Tuesday.
Part of the problem is your lack of interest in a whole lot of sports. For example, did you ever try to get interested in candlestick bowling?
i’ve said it before, why do you hate america you commie?
I totally agree with you about baseball being boring.
I’m from South Africa, and have gotten into football and a little into basketball, but I could never be a serious baseball fan.
tedvelvet - that’s one of the most rediculous things I’ve ever heard.
I’m VEHEMENTLY PRO-AMERICA. I’m dislike liberals. I know that America is the best country in the world… and I DISLIKE BASEBALL.
HM: that is definitely too fine a point… topless candlestick bowling i could get into
TV: because america is begging to be hated… at least if we are still using baseball as an analogy… if baseball started a new rule that a player takes a shot in balls after three strikes and they can run the bases with the bats (and use them)… i would start watching.
Damn right! I can’t stand baseball & it shouldn’t be allowed on tv. I would rather watch Roadhouse over & over before watching baseball. I will say attending a baseball game can be fun for a few minutes.
Football is fun on tv & in person.
At least I have tennis between now & football season. Mmm Maria Sharapova.
adam: teddy v is just fucking with me, he’s just mad because the yankees suck
crag: old patrick swayze movies rule… except dirty dancing, i had to scrub my eyes with a metal brillo pad after i went to see it in the theater (it wasn’t my fault really, i was a kid, i wanted to get laid)… red dawn is a great cheesy movie.
Red Dawn is the greatest greatest movie EVER EVER!
WOLVERINES!
you and C. rag are to put it simply,and I say this with the utmost respect, morons. Football on TV has become crazy annoying and slow as all hell. It used to be great before all the advertising and constant commercials kicked in. seriously, watch a football game and just count how many bullshit breaks there are. Baseball is beautiful, as long as the 1/2 inning goes on, unless there’s a pitching change or injury, no commercials. That’s oldschool, keepng the bullshit pitch man out of my game.
patrick swayze’s best movie is the outsiders..do it for Johnny!
Have to agree with TV–football is the most painful thing in the world to watch, except for maybe NASCAR.
Baseball is an unbelievably beautiful game. Have you ever considered that there is a finite number of situations in a baseball game? I don’t know what that number is–maybe I’ll calculate it…that would be a good exercise.
I hope to have an answer by the end of October.
Actually, there is an infinite number of situations in a baseball game:
I can scratch my balls here or here or here or here …
I can scratch my balls here and here or here and here …
I can scratch my balls here and here and here or here and here and here …
For the literate, this is a countable infinity of situations. If a player had an infinite scrotum, then it would be an uncountable infinity.
Pardon the bad grammar: … there “are” an infinite …
The rest is correct.
You’re sexy when you’re mad.
The Velvet is right that there are too many breaks in football, but I would rather see violent hitting on tv than guys standing on mounds.
i agree with the football breaks, it is getting out of hand on TV… still rather have to channel surf to another game when they hit than watch the grass grow.
and now that i know there is an infinite number of ways to scratch my balls, i’m sure my productivity level will plummet.
You were right the first time…
“There is an infinite number of situations…”
To use ‘are’ you’d say
“There are infinite situations possible…”
I guess it’s true…only smart people understand baseball.
