    I almost bought the Milb package along with it.... ALL those teams, ALL those games - and they show Hops games too - I love going to that park though. Great atmosphere. Baseball is like the anti-cheers - you can have a great time and not know any of the players name - you just want a good clean game and see this beautiful game in motion.

    I'm in the business and don't hold ratings up as a good measuring stick. If you know how they really work, it's very strange. That said, I'd rather watch a preseason game between the Suns vs Wolves than the World Series, just me.

    I'd rather watch grown men stand around and spit and itch than watch baseball... The only time baseball is interesting is if a squirrel is running around the infield and play stops. Rain delays are also fun.

    Trust me, no kids are running out to play baseball in the streets anymore. This slow sad excuse of a "sport" is dying.

    Thread title is an "alternative fact" - there's nothing interesting about baseball.

    Not a fan, but I can at least watch a couple NFL games a year if I had to.

    Baseball on the radio is one of the most relaxing things I have ever found.

    Rick Rizzs does a great job for the Mariners (Along with Goldsmith, and it seems he's tapered off his anxiety-producing scream when a mariner hits a home run. thank god), I love the Braves radio guys, Rockies are great too. D-backs have a good combo as well.

    bs....I rarely pass a park without a baseball game going on ....when we lived in Wilsonville the park there had about 3 ongoing games every weekend...baseball is a culture. It's everywhere in Asia...most popular American sport over there.

    You also have Venezula, Cuba, Dominican Republic, etc, etc. And their goal is to make it where? Oh right, the MLB.

    Japan too. Jesus, Japan is crazy when it comes to baseball lately.

    Korea. All over.

    I rarely do. And when I do, it's by choice - usually some friends are watching a game so I just go to hang out and have a few beers.

    What a completely ironic post to quote asking that.


    You are literally asking HCP to clown you at this point.

    I think the hardest part for me is finding a team to support. I refuse to supports anything related to Seattle so I'm stuck. I liked the braves when they had Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux. It's the same with hockey for me. If we had a team here I would support them.
