Major leage baseball~suck me

[TheProject]

Who really cares who wins the All Star game anyway? It isn't so much a competition as it is a showcase.

Wasn't it awesome to see Torii Hunter make an awesome catch to rob Bonds of a homer. Then Bonds comes back in his next AB and hits a bomb? Or Schilling throwing straight gas to A-Rod and A-Rod knowing it is coming and Schilling still punched his ass out?

Only thing that sucked was no MVP. Although I think it would be hard to figure out. Of course it seemed BK Kim would be the MVP for the AL.

I dunno, I kinda like to see the game end with a definitive finish. I always root for the AL, personally.

It's a game. I understand that they do this for a living, but come on...they pitched 2 whole innings, and they can't go anymore?

And they should've picked an MVP from both teams if they were gonna call it a tie.

Sorry to those that enjoy the sport but I hope baseball self destructs. It's so boring and the players are way over paid. I think watching college or semi pro sports is more interesting because the players have a goal to achieve. I think most pros lose that focus.

The reason they only pitch x amount of innings is so that everyone can get in. The reason they didn't want the last 2 guys to go anymore is they still have a responsibility to their teams. They go another inning then there is a chance that they would be on the shelf for tomorrow. What if Padilla would have gotten in a jam and wound up throwing or having to throw 30 - 40 pitches in the 12th inning? Since his pitch count was high would they just stop the game right there????

I like statistics.
But baseball is even boring from *that* perspective.

3 hours of a very very slow moving game. Drunken announcers. Smelly, belligerent fans.

The only reason it ever became America' sport is because it's the first sport we invented.

I really wanted the NL to win! I don't think fans are going anywhere, even with this and the upcoming strike. Next record breaking streak and we'll be all over their nuts.

I understand all that, but I still think it's a rip. I don't know how the old-time pitchers managed to go longer and go fewer games between starts, but it seems like starting pitchers are pitching less and less these days.

No one deserved the Ted Williams award anyhow....

Couple reasons........ they go with a 5 man rotation now instead of a 4 man. They have "specialists" in the set-up guys and the stoppers.

When was the last complete game in MLB?

I don't know the date, but my one fantasy baseball pitcher has 3 of them this year.
