another reason baseball is dumb

Another reason why the MLB is dumb... not the sport of baseball. There's so many things wrong with that league, and yet their officiating is still better than the NBA.

Sport of baseball is still dumb tho.

 

Thanks for illustrating my point. An NBA official never would have come out publicly and admitted that he had completely blown the call, nor would he have been so apologetic.

 

Thats an oxymoron

 

I really only need one reason to hate it ... it bores me to tears. What else is there?

 

I love baseball, but 1994 ruined the sport for me. We shouldn't pretend, however, that there aren't plenty of owners in plenty of other sports that don't operate the same way.

 

Baseball is the worst thing in the world!!!!

 

I would expect a thread like this from basketball fans.

 

I love baseball. Still go up and watch the Mariners play. That said, steroids has taken a lot of my respect for the game away. Especially the arrogant attitude of the players. I don't care who they are- the players who tested + for steroids should have their records and stats expunged and be ineligible for the HOF.

 

What happened in 1994? Do other leagues have a community pool they share money for?

 

Playoff Baseball is amazing. May/June/July/August baseball is horrible.

 

AND the right team still won the game. That's doesn't always happen in the NBA.

 

I love baseball no matter what month.

This is like the people who hate to watch golf.

Plus while the Ump make a wrong call, the players still have most of the control. Unless the home plate ump has some fucked up strike-zone. Plus the player swings the bat, not the ump.

And it's harder to make a call on a ball coming at the plate 90+ KPH that's hits the outside corner. Not like calling a slap on the wrist

 

Players strike. No playoffs or world series. Gave the MLB a big black eye.

 

I tried to get into baseball again for the first time in over a decade... but it didn't last long. The game is too slow. I think would be good sport to go with family and friends to the park... but to watch a baseball without being able to fast forward is just too much to ask of my attention span. I tapes Mariner games at the begining of the year, but even that got old fast.

Baseball is a game of gentlemen.

NBA is a gathering of thugs.
