This is why baseball continues to be the most boring game on the planet.
Yes, perhaps even more than soccer...

Baseball is typically about 4 or 5 teams overall battling for the title.
The rest seem to be batha fodder.

Baseball needs to close about 10 teams.
There just isn't enough talent to go around.

If you are playing 162 games per season, why you have to prolong the postseason?

Man, baseball has just been bad lately. Especailly the NL. I am too lazy, but would be interesting to see what the payroll for the teams that have good records are. Yankees, Red Sox..............can't think of anyone in the NL. :laugh:

(1) I disagree, GOLF is the most boring game on the planet. (2) There are only six division so if 4 or 5 teams are typically in it then overall the system is working. (3) 10 teams are way too much. Maybe 2 and relocating about 4 would improve certain markets for teams. (5) The talent is out there just look at this year & last years rookie class. It's a double edge sword though. I blame the owners for being cheap in many cases and not reinvesting profits in their teams (trust me no team iis going hungry). Even the Marlins owner is making money. The other ones that I blame is are the baseball gurus that come up with some of these ridiculous contracts.

Oh, you mean the St. Louis Pujols:confused2. And don't get me started on KC there is another organization that had some awesome teams but because of ownership they are now the whipping girls of MLB but in their defense they did sweep the Yanks:eplus2: :laugh:

I think by 10 teams he means shriking it down to 10 teams in total and getting rid of all the others....

Are you dreaming? Barely half (53% - 16/30) make the playoffs. I find that makes it much more exciting. Do you want Hockey at all?

Tell em' Boon!! Bunch of haters. The Mets suck - They should have 100 wins already. Corny ass Met fans are probably having a parade today to celebrate that the Braves were officially elimatated from the playoffs.

i live upstate, not in the city...or near Buffalo, where they play the NHL games

i liked to play when i was a kid, but it is my least favorite sport to watch on TV. although i will check out some of the games when the Finals hit...but that is about it

It is, I was sick of the Braves wasting a playoff spot. They wouldn't even make it to the NLCS. F'n bums. Met's might do that this year though.:eplus2:
