Baseball Sucks!

Baseball is waaaayyyy too slow. There's needs to be a time limit when you get up at bat. Even when you go to game you get bored as hell unless something happens like a home run or a steal (base). Striking someone out isn't exciting. The batter just returns to the dugout. Big fucking deal.
They also play way too many games.
Washington DC may finally get a baseball team again. So what!!! We've got too many new buildings cropping up as it is and now a stadium. Fuck you baseball!!!
You can't even watch it on TV because it sucks so bad. I may as well watch popcorn popping in a microwave FOR A LIVING.

It's not as bad as cricket.

i dont undertand baseball at all. lol never on here in england. i like cricket very good sport to watch and play :P

No explanation. You can read.
mastaoflickingballsatoz

as celery would say STFU :D

baseball is great i love it and it just takes a certain kind of person to be able to watch it and enjoy it i guess

Patience is what it takes and I don't have much

Yes, it isn't as bad as cricket. I don't follow baseball myself, but I love playing rounders which I assume is a diluted version of baseball.

Well to like baseball you need patience but i don't seem to have much and i seem to enjoy watching it just like some people love football and i don't mean american but i think its boreing so its just what u prefer. Baseball is a lot more fun to play than watch i will agree with that.

howcome american sports are different to the world. are you incapable of playing something that isnt all your own?

imagine if england came up with a new sport everytime we werent the best at the last :lol:

Well which sports are all our own Baseball? how about cuba and just about all the countries in central america Japan too Canada i almost forgot they do too and football well yes it not wide spread but it is played in Canada

:"> im sorry, i was just under the impression that baseball was all american

not at all

ive only ever seen it played by americans at 2am on channel 5

Well america has the biggest league in the world

Yes it is very popular in Japan, Cuba, etc.
It was invented in America as was basketball.

Shit, we thought you were asleep, you weren't supposed to see that.


I grew up with modified corkball. The bat is more like a broomstick than a baseball bat and the pitcher throws a tennisball. All you need is a homeplate (often a piece of cardboard or done with chalk) and a wall (side of a school building). You can play with just 2 poeple, you are either batting or pitching. Mano a mano, all the way. 5 balls, 2 strikes, foul ball is an out.

For people who haven't played baseball, there is something really satisfying in crushing a pitch and admiring its flight in the opposite direction.

I agree with that :)

You should watch a good international cricket test match. It starts at 11 am on a Thursday and finishes 5 days later about 5pm on Monday. It can - and often does end in a draw.

I suggest just one match and then you can return to Baseball with renewed enthusiasm as everything will appear to happen at 100 miles an hour.

Actually, I quite like cricket but that is different matter.

As someone once said "it matters not who won or lost but how you played the game" :rolleyes:

I love to play baseball. It's fun as shit. But I can't stand to watch it.
Maybe I am TOOO American because I went to a football game that ended in a draw once and it was like almost having an orgasm. In the end I want to see how one team perseveres over the other.

In the American "World Series Baseball" how many other countries are in the tournament to start with???

lol 1 i think that the world series should involve the world

This is true. I totally agree

But it does.......Canada's got two teams.

All other countries are just figments of your imagination, except Mexico and Cuba.
And everyone knows they're no good at baseball. :lol:

Well i think almost half the majors are cuban and from other countries like that mexico not too many good ones there Japan too omg their fastball is like 80 and american fastball is 90 +

By the way, I hope baseball does not come to Washington DC. We&#39;ve got too much traffic already and they are trying to bring the Montreal Expos here. We&#39;ve got at least 15 BRAND NEW buildings going up not including the new Washington Convention Center and when there tear the old one down they are probably going to put 3 more structures on it&#39;s land. :angry:

Talk about a big terrorist target JEEEZ <_<

KEEP BASEBALL AWAY, WE DON&#39;T NEED IT

you just loovve trolling dont you :rolleyes:

Sorry man I&#39;m American. What&#39;s trolling?

Doesn&#39;t matter.
Baseball back in DC will be a new novelty for those who don&#39;t travel to Bmore to see the Orioles.

I guess but if u really liked the team u would make the trip i mean lots o people travel from Connecticut to New York to see the yankees thats about 80 miles more probibly it won&#39;t last long they loose one game and they will look like the Devil Rays park

Each team. :dry:

The most suck assed game lasts that long.

In comparison

Basketball has 80 games.

Football has 16.

That tells something about the physical aspect of baseball. The players don't really move alot.

Most of the time they are either simply standing up or sitting down. :lol: :lol:

The travelling must be a real killer. It still doesn't seem real to me, the concept of more than one game a week is still a little alien to me - even tho' in Soccer it's normal now.

Btw, I can't believe those lazyass NFL players only have to play half a game - tops - 16 times a season. Their physical condition when compared to rugby players is .... ahhh fuck it :lol: :P
