Objective scientific evidence...

...that baseball is insanely boring.



After the Jazz game at Staples Center last night we had tickets to the Dodgers game today at Dodgers stadium. Afternoon game, 75 degrees in the shade, seats about halfway up the mid-deck right behind home plate. It was a great place to take a nap, we found out. They actually had a batter at a full count when my daughter said "oh, did they start already?" We did get to see a triple play. Mostly it was a bunch of people all of a sudden saying "hey was that a triple play? wow". The most exciting thing that happened was the wave, which went around the stadium about twice, with maybe 60% participation. The food was, well kind of crappy. Had a dog and pretzel and a $75 thirty-two ounce soda, or something. It was generally fun to be outside and enjoy the great day and it was kind of fun to be at our first major league ball-game, but in the end it was PAINFULLY boring. It took all the way till the top of the 3rd inning for my daughter, who screamed herself hoarse at the Jazz game last night, to start asking "do we really have to sit through 3 more hours of this?"

The most exciting thing was watching the 2 young hot wives in front of us get up and down to go get their men snacks every half inning or so. Short white shorts, blue jerseys, nicely built. Yeah, that was the highlight. But, sorry folks, the objective scientific evidence is in, and it is undeniable and irrefutable:

BASEBALL IS INSANELY BORING.



That is all...otherwise, wow what a great weekend. Awesome game last night at Staples, decently enjoyable time with my fam at the Dodgers game, beautiful weather, nice "scenery". Doesn't get much better than that.


Note: the scenery is all that much better when your wife keeps leaning over and asking "did you see her butt?" Yes dear, I did, but I am happy to continually check it out for you if you insist.

Sorry meant to post this in general, although it is mildly Jazz related, as it shows that Jazz basketball is orders of magnitude more entertaining than baseball. Move it as you see fit mods...

Yeah man its the poor relation to our magical game of cricket.

Yep, nothing like fortnight long games with a score of 0 to 0 to get the blood going.

If you aren't drinking at a baseball game you're doing it wrong. Have some beers and relax with friends outdoors. It is also always more boring to go to game of a team you don't care about and a sport you don't care about especially when comparing it to playoffs for your favorite team.


Although I don't go to baseball games because baseball is boring.

Baseball is one of those games you can only like if you played baseball.

It's tacky to drink at an MLB game. Pretty sure that you are thinking of lititle league baseball.

I did. For 7 years. Little League Jr high and high school for one year. Still find it crazy boring. Even playing it was boring but I was a decent hitter so I got some accolades out of it and it was my dad's favorite sport.

Well I was kind of implying people who enjoyed playing baseball. Not people who did it cuz their dads liked it.

Hope you're enjoying your easter holidays. How's life in Germany treating you? Remember talking to you about the subject a couple years ago

 

[Bawse Dawg]

I never played little league or anything and I've been a Red Sox fan since I can remember being a fan of anything, my Dad raised me that way because he was die hard. I love the Sox to this day but I wouldn't be caught dead watching anything but a Sox game.

Awesome about the scenery ! Not many more awesome things than when your wife snakily points out other women to pick them to pieces and you just have to look to give your objective opinion lol

And baseball is mind numbing. Played by fat dudes who cheat and look soooo funny when they try to run fast.

lol, it' tacky to get smashed at a baseball game. Drinking is part of the fun.

Never played, looked it up and it seems like a fun game. In this case the name is short for Takeda, a medieval Japan feudal house whose history i'm fond of.

Cool. Now I'll spend the next few days googling the hell out of that. I am very interested in Japanese culture especially the samurai. I own a few swords, one made using traditional methods from the bloom steel all the way to hand-polishing. Cool stuff.

The tak I know is from an as-of-yet unfinished book series I am enamored with. And the game is a lot of fun.

I have to admit I liked playing it for a few years until I discovered basketball and started getting taller. Then it was a lot like that girl you had a crush on in 3rd grade compared to the first girl you French-kissed. Just doesn't compare.

Stephen Turnbull's books are always a good source for battles, weaponry, tactics and overall history of the period, although he gets caught a little in the romanticized view the Samurai. If you dig the format check Koike's "Lone Wolf and Cub" and "Samurai Executioner" mangas, awesome stuff.

jealous of your swords, I only have an old, lazily made replica mostly used to get the things my son throws under the bed.

Are you talking about the Tak of the Dark Tower series? I usually wait for King's work to be published in other media. Admittedly too chicken to read horror, my mind have a knack to wander and stumbling into topics at the most inappropriate hours, a lesson learned reading Lovecraft in my youth.
