I prefer baseball, brilliant game and event. Just the right length for a good sporting night out with a few beers.
Isn't baseball called rounders over here and isn't it a girls game? |

I once drove The Undertaker around Milton Keynes in a stretched limo back in 1992, he grunted at me a few times but at the end of the day he gave me a framed & signed picture of me   |

Would love to watch a live game, must be a real experience. I've managed to see live NBA and NFL games, MLB is next. Whether you enjoy the actual sport or not, they don't have have one helluva an experience at games, even for games with nothing riding on them.
I'm fortunate enough to have family with season tickets to the Dodgers, so have seen 30 odd games over the years. It is a lot cheaper and more accessible than American Football, a bit like Prem football verses county cricket. Until you get in there and buy a round of hot dogs and beers for about 40 quid! |

Yeah but played by men with bigger bats who get paid silly amounts of money. |

Whilst everyone is allowed their opinion, I watched a college game once in the US. I just can't see how someone who likes football (soccer) can possibly tolerate such a boring stop - start game as NFL  Don't even get me started on the name - The WORLD Series?  Because some people have an open enough mind and varying enough taste to appreciate different sports with different merits. I like football, cricket, F1, rugby, NFL, basketball, tennis and I'm even strangely fascinated by baseball. Each is vastly different, each has different things to appreciate and enjoy. The fact that something is different from football isn't automatically a bad thing or a barrier to enjoyment. By the way the world series is baseball not American Football, I'm not sure if you knew that because the way your post is written it looks like you believe it's a part of the NFL. For the record though, it does annoy me that the superbowl winners declare themselves "world champions"! |

I'm not narrow minded, I just don't like it. I sat through a whole game and it was so mind numbingly dull. The majority of the males in attendance appeared more interested in getting obscenely pissed. I'd do exactly the same if I had to watch that regularly. Absolute rubbish! Glad for those of you that enjoyed it. It would be extremely boring if we were all the same wouldn't it. Cheers for putting me right on the world series. I had no idea. |

Well my wife fallen in love with it. She's just watched an episode of Glee where it featured heavily. Apparently not only do they wear make-up, they let girls play, they do a Michael Jackson Thriller routine at half time, f*** me they even had a bloke in a wheelchair playing. I'm going to have to take her next time they bring it over here, she reckons it's better than dreamboats and petticoats.

Staying on the American theme did anyone watch the re-invented Hawaii Five O I only watched it to see Scott Caan as he was in the Oceans Trilogy but I was quite impmressed |
Do you know what "Nemesis" means?
A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent personified in this case by a sex starved voyeur that is Tyro.
