A sad day :(

[Cody]

I just needed a little sympathy from my friends on here. This morning when I turned on my TV to watch sportcenter (in HD obviously) while eating breakfast, what did I see much to my dismay? god damned mother ****ing baseball coverage.

Why would Sportcenter even have baseball coverage anyway? Isn't it supposed to cover sports highlights? Is Sportcenter the next MTV where you'll find anything but what the name would imply?

A very sad day. this means I have to suffer through like 17 consecutive months of pointless baseball, before we got to the even more worthless and boring playoffs. I'm very disheartened.

sorry for the profanity. I just had to vent a little.

for those of you interested, that last line is actually what is typed when I bang my head against the keyboard.

The only thing fun about baseball is sitting around with a flat beer and a hot dog making fun of baseball and passing judgement on the fans. I can't wait!

I'm with you. I think they should fracture that "baseball" stuff out of SportsCenter. I love the sport, but the MLB is quite boring for some reason.

Ah, baseball! America's Past Time! (Heavy emphasis on past).
Baseball bores me to tears. Nothing is more torturous than having to watch multiple hours of people trying to hit a tiny ball (this includes golf) and run around. Well, I guess American style 'Football' (why don't they shed 40lbs of padding and just play Rugby?) is pretty painful too, but not quite as bad as baseball.
I feel your pain, Cody.

 

[Cody]

you might live the game, but there is nothing about baseball that is "sport". Sport would imply athletic ability is required to participate---and elite athleticism to participate on the highest level.

Neither are true with baseball.

Some reason? If it were 2 innings instead of 9 and nine months shorter of a season there is a reason for it's uninteresting aspects.

I would pay more money to go see girls jumping on trampolines for 3 hours on a spring day while drinking overpriced, flat, crappy beers. at least there would be something entertaining offered to make up for the crappy booze that is required to pass the time.

 

[Dominic]

I get more of a workout dropping the morning duece then any baseball player ever! Give me a break the sport has "Designated hitters"!

 

[Dominic]

Cody please share your thoughts on how even nascar (gross) drivers get more of a work out than baseball players.

Uh, who wouldn't?

 

[scoutabout]

Cody, we are on the same page. I have long advocated for a "Baseball Channel" so that all the useless chatter about America's so-called "past time" could be quarantined in one place. I usually refer to Sportscenter as the Baseball Report during the sorry ass long baseball season. I absolutely hate baseball. Attending a game can be fun, but only if you show up at the end of the 7th inning and already drunk.

This is a April fools thread right? If not it is pretty lame.

Neither are true with baseball.

do you think that you could hit something coming at you at 90 mph with only a tenth of a second to make you mind up to swing??? And if you aswered yes to this then how come there is only one kid out of a million that actually makes it to the pros. you are intitled to your opinion which is fine with me, i just dont share you same vision of the game.

 

[Cody]

No. Nope. I wish it was a joke, but I just double checked online and the effin baseball season has officiallly begun.

I'm going to buy some Frito-lay stock. I figure for the next few months their sales will be up.

I thought this was gonna be a -Cody is getting married thread

you missed the point, which means you must play baseball and are therefore brain dead to begin with. But I'll try and help.

My point was how miserably boring baseball is. I never said or implied that I could hit a baseball, but even if I could I definitely wouldn't enjoy watching video of it. that being said, I still don't think it takes athleticism to hit a baseball. Elite hand-eye coordination? Sure. Are there athletes that play baseball? Sure? Is it required? Hell no. Look at some of the fat slobs that play baseball....David Wells, the guy that won MVP last year (don't know his name, but my 1 friend that loves baseball knew I would be calling when they put his fat ass on the front page of espn.com one afternoon...he even knew it was coming), etc etc, etc These guys couldn't run a mile if it meant a lifetime supply of chocolate cake, bacon, and chewing tabacco.

If you can define "sport" to me in a way that supports your claim that baseball is one, but also denies ping pong, foosball, chess, bowling, or golf (other games I don't consider sports--perhaps you do?), then I'll concede. Until then, baseball is nothing more that the primary contributor to American obesity and heart disease....and boredom.

ahhhh....it's refreshing to see I'm not alone in my hatred of baseball.

Bunch of cake eaters they are If/when I have kids I've always told my wife they can do ANYTHING they want, but play baseball...I refuse to support, in any way, such a worthless "past-time".

I was pissed to see it on the highlights last night
