The problem with baseball is that it can really drag on for the longest time. Hell it is the only sport I know that requires a "7th inning" stretch and you see the crowd perform strech routines.

Not to mention that it seems that half the stadium is empty before the game is over at the 9th inning.

Football doesn't require any of that.

Sorry, soccer is not appealing to me at all. I've been to over 10 games of soccer to force myself to watch it and try and understand the rules and regulations of the sport before judging it and I still can not grasp why anyone would go so crazy over such a sport.

You need to play it, you need to feel the excitement of scoring a goal...

Actually one interesting thing about baseball is that it is one of only a few sports where the game clock does not play a major role.

The home team could be down 15-2 after the first nine and a half innings and they still have a chance to win it in the bottom of the ninth.

Incidently, why is the World series called the World Series when it only contains teams from the US?

Well, it gained a bit more legitimacy when the Montreal Expos and the Toronto Blue Jays joined the league. Of course, the Expos may soon relocate.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
