Why the f**k is baseball so boring?

Because the world needed a sport where you can be fat, lazy, chew skoal, and have no work ethic and still be good. Merica.

Pick any of the 2400 MLBs games played each year and they will still be the Olympic 10K final for attendance. 25 laps on the track is boring.

Ever hear of bowling? Curling? Those that you describe have been outplayed to a point that they are out of the league by the athletes that are on rosters now.

As opposed to watching a marathon.

I'm so sorry you were fooled into watching a sport you find boring. Is it easy to be fooled?

Because posting idiotic comments on the interweb is so f**cking exciting???

When you don't understand the nuances, can't grasp the strategy involved, and don't have the ability to invest yourself in something long term for delayed gratification (even then only one team can win the World Series), I can see baseball seeming like it's boring.

You are not very good at separating "I" from "everyone."

Bowling is immensely exciting. (except when ESPN fukks with the camera shot and you can't see what is happening.)

The release of the ball. The placement on the lane. The oil line. The rate of the oil dissipating. The break point of the ball. The entry angle into the pocket. The reaction of the pins. The adjustments the bowler makes. The variation between lanes.

Same way with baseball. The more you know about the sport, the more exciting.

This is correct. The same could be said for running. I would be hard pressed to name people I know who would truly be excited by the 10,000. I am not sure most people could even grasp the reality of someone sitting down and watching a non-Olympic marathon in its entirety. They would not be aware of the storyline of the athletes leading in to the event or be constantly analyzing and appreciating the strategy (or lack thereof) involved.

In my opinion, playoff baseball in particular is some of the most exciting sport out there. The regular season is incredibly long, but the games themselves are exciting for me.

Also, could it be true? I mean... are we actually there? Go Cubs!

Democrats killed Baseball

Dems first killed the family, this killed the Dads which then kills kids baseball dreams.

Prove me wrong Thanks

Because you have a small attention span and are generally unintelligent.

Is paint drying a sport?

baseball ain't a sport. You don't have to be an athlete at all to be an all-star or in the Hall of Fame. Lots of players who couldn't see their feet over their fat guts are in the Hall of Fame. There are many more major leaguers with triple chins than those that can do three pull-ups.

Each and every one of those guys can knock the living snot out of any emaciated distance runner you can name. That's a sport I'd like to watch.
