Have you ever watched at baseball game of television and found the game boring?

I consider baseball a great game, but watching it on TV can be tough.  It is, after all, a leisurely game, designed to be viewed in a park on a suuny day.  It affords you and your companion to discuss the game and its strategies, to keep score, to get a beer during a particularly long at-bat.\n\nThanks to TiVo, I now record most of the games I watch on TV.  That way, I can speed it up as much as I like.

Golf is boring AND fun. Watching is BORING. Playing is FUN. That is the clear difference. The game looks lame, but when you play its a totally exciting experience. Just start on the driving range and you'll know what i'm taking about. Just give golf a try, dont watch it!

Let's see...all them minutes of watching players run back and forth, back and forth to see 1 goal scored (if I'm lucky)...or baseball, a game a strategy and America's pasttime and a game I have played and followed for 20 years.  The thinking mans game.  I'll go with the latter.  Thanks.

Sure, I watched them.  The playoffs were awesome.  I saw them lose at the Vet against the Astros, and watched the rest of the playoffs on TV.  The final game was incredible -- Nolan Ryan had a shutout going, 3-0 in the late innings.  Somehow, the Phils pulled it out to win.\nI was fortunate enough to be in the stadium for game 6 of the world series, in the next to last row in dead center field.  I couldn't really see the details of the play where Pete Rose caught the foul ball that popped out of Bob Boone's glove.  But the celebration around city hall was something I'll never forget, complete strangers high-fiving each other.  Very peaceful, too, no burning cars or buildings like in other cities.

You're right.  I tried to watch a game once.  What a waste of time.  Of course, the NBA isn't much more entertaining, but at least you know you're watching the best.  In the WNBA, they make a big deal out of a dunk.  That should tell you about the overall caliber of play in that league.  Won't be around much longer, I shouldn't think.

I know, it drives me nuts. Boring game idea. Annually the TV becomes mostly dormant while wimbledon is on. \nWhy not have it every four years? Then I wouldn't mind if it was on like football for a month.\nThe strawberries and cream and orange squash and deep nasal voiced score announcers and silly player grunting; the whole garb is annoying and ooooh the rich do like to watch!\nIt was only John McEnroe temper that gave the game any brief interest and that was very limited.  It's just DULL!\nWish I could have a TV licence rebate while wimbledon was on then I wouldn't mind so much.

The Ravens D must have been the only ones to make the trip to Cincy cause they didn't bring an offense. But then again the Bengals drove down the field at will but couldn't get it in the endzone and had to settle for a couple of FG's. Don't know what happend in the 2nd half which was pretty boring. I for one like the Thursday night game and I've always enjoyed the NFL network but they could have atleast found better anouncers to call the game. I mean Chris Collensworth and Brian Gumble wtf is up with that. That has got to be the worse decision ever. What's the difference in a game being played on the nfl network than espn nothing to me cause I have Direct TV. Good for me and sucks to all the pissed of people with cable lmao.

YO YO listen up...this is revolutionary.\n\nBaseball pretty much sucked in the early parts on the 1900's. Then scientists got smart and figured out what it was good for.\n\nInsomniatic patients finally had a way to get sleep! Simply turn on a Cubs game and presto! A deep sweet sleep in no time. People don't watch baseball for the game, just for the hot dogs, the drinks, and sleep.

Enjoys all sports in general and have even tried to gain interest in soccer by learning the rules and watching it.  It still is a very slow moving and dull game.  Prefers American football by far.

In case your counting, at my house, I watched both games with one of my dogs.  My other dog intended to watch the tape delayed version on Univision.

My favorite sport is baseball!\n\nI love the intricacy, the infinite possibilities that arise from such a seemingly simple game. One the surface, baseball seems rather straightforward. \n\nThree players, per team, per inning (to start, anyway). Three strikes and you're out. Four bases equals a run.\n\nBut...Watch a few games, and you'll see the amazing variety that can arise from such simple, direct circumstances! Every game is different! \n\nA player who MIGHT have been out after three pitches might stretch the at bat to 12, or more, pitches! Stolen bases. Wild pitches. \n\nA team that started with 3 players at bat in an inning, might send nine players, or more! to the plate, in a single inning.\n\nNo hitters! Perfect games. Amazing leaping, flying catches! Double plays! Home runs! Grand slam home runs!\n\nAnd the incredible, endless intricacy of the stats!\n\nThe personalities of the players. Even some teams have "personalities!" The history! The stories! The crazy superstitions and customs!\n\nI love nothing more on a warm summer evening than putting the games on TV, opening all the windows to let in the warm breeze, and relaxing to the sound of almost any baseball game. If it is a local game, and I can get it on the radio, it is even better to put the game on TV, turn down the volume on the TV, and listen to the play by play on the radio, while watching the game.\n\nThe radio announcers describe the game for people who cannot see it, so their descriptions are even more vivid and detailed. \n\nMy favorite baseball memory is of attending games at the huge, almost empty old Cleveland Municipal Stadium. (Now gone, and replaced by Jacobs Field) The Cleveland Indians frequently used to suck, so the place, which could hold about 80,000 would be almost deserted, maybe only 3,000 or so in attendance. \n\nI used to go to the evening games by myself. I'd buy a cheap seat, then sneak down into the good seats, right behind home plate. The guys who were supposed to check tickets and chase people back to where they belonged would come over and sit next to me, share my peanuts, and talk to me about the game.\n\nIt was a very good, very peaceful time on warm, lovely summer evenings.\n\nI also love baseball because it is so very American. Hard to describe. Players can start from the poorest backgrounds, or in some other country, and end up having a chance at incredible success, simply because they love, and are good at, playing the game. Any player is welcome, and may be loved, whatever his background, simply because he plays baseball well. \n\nNobody says, "Well, Ichiro sure can play, but get him out of here, he is Japanese!" or, "No way I want El Duke (Orlando Hernandez) on MY team - He's from Cuba!" or "David Ortiz! Forget him! He's from the Dominican Republic!"\n\nPlayers from every place, all walks of life, play together, and are loved, because of - baseball! That is what America is all about.

No ! It is like lame baseball. Maybe if I understood the rules I might like it. But for now I am content on hating it.
