I love baseball, I occassionally watch it on television, but mostly just the replays. I find baseball to translate much better to radio than to television and would honestly prefer listening to a game than watching it on tv.

Go pitch 9 innings in a some-what seriious game and come back and repeat that statement with a straight face.Originally posted by gimpAt least you have to be in shape for soccer, it's just that the field is way to big to make it exciting to watch.Comment

Yeh, because the effects on your lungs from chewing are the same as from smokingOriginally posted by gimpI agree. Although I still think baseball is more boring. I do think it's funny that it's the only sport that you can chew tobacco during the game. Might as well just light up a cigarette on the bench. At least you have to be in shape for soccer, it's just that the field is way to big to make it exciting to watch.
I forgot, the new generation, tobbacco in all its forms has all the negative side effects of ever other form.
Not condoning chewing - I do realize there are serious and life threatening side effects. Decreased lung capacity is probably not one of them..."Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. Its not" - Dr SuessComment

Round is a shape :) They do have physical skills that are honed by training, though obviously not all of the players are in excellent overall shape.Originally posted by ThordicDon't even try saying baseball players are in shape.

What about the rest of the team? 90% of the time they're just standing around. I do realize that the pitcher's arm gets tired. And it is impressive how well they throw the ball, but it's still boring.Originally posted by BigEvilGo pitch 9 innings in a some-what seriious game and come back and repeat that statement with a straight face.
And I didn't say that chewing effects your lung capacity. The way I wrote it made it sound that way though. Whoops.
I just think it's funny that they dip in the middle of the game.
There is one good thing about baseball. It's an excuse to drink beer. You've got to do something to numb your senses because it's so boring.

Go get on a baseball field. I guarantee you wouldn't be able to make the throws that are needed, to swing the bat, to react to field any infield hit. There are lots of specific skills that are required for playing baseball that aren't as evident in other sports.Originally posted by gimpWhat about the rest of the team? 90% of the time they're just standing around.

And MLB banned the use of chewing tobacco on the field years ago.
And, come on, people have different tastes in what they like to watch. There's a reason soap operas are still on so many hours every day.
