The only real reason I'd watch baseball (and I assume a lot of other people feel the same way) is that it's a summer sport when there is nothing else really going on.This year we have the World Cup and there's always tennis,or golf or soccer from the smaller European nations which have summer leagues, but if I didn't bet on baseball I probably wouldn't even bother following the sport.

As for it being the most boring, I'd say cricket or formula 1 would win that award hands down

I understand why some people don't like baseball.  It's an extremely MANLY game and it also takes a fairly high IQ to to completely appreciate it and most Americans aren't that bright to begin with.

Well maybe you shouldnt assume that most people feel that way about baseball. Sorry there is no hitting in baseball but if thats the only thing that excites your simple mind then your pathetic. Baseball is great

Baseball and Soccer can appear to be boring but thats because both sports are so hard to play,its almost impossible to score a goal in soccer and almost impossible to hit the ball in baseball.


Some other sports are much easier to play and  score

MLB between May 1st and August 31st. First few weeks and post season are great but games 25 to 150 suck.

NBA until playoffs begin. Just a boring sport for the most part. Ball goes back and forth up court and shot is either hit or missed. Yawn.

I don't mind football for the most part because all of the games are important in regards to the playoffs. In saying that, I like to choose the games I watch. If I was forced to watch the Browns, Bucs or Lions over the past 5 years I would hate it also.

In baseball you can lose 75 games and still make the playoffs.

The NBA is even worse and you can lose 50% of your games and still make the Eastern Conference playoffs.

I still dont mind watching golf and its way down on my list but dont hate it anymore.


Agree completely with everything posted here.

I never said baseball was crap because it is non physical. My point was that most people here are into football,hockey & basketball and that if baseball ran concurrently with the football and basketball seasons there would be a lot of people who wouldn't pay as much attention to it.
I just bet baseball because it is outside the soccer basketball & hockey season more the most part but it's still a good game regardless

In saying that, any game that guys for 5 days and can still finish in a draw has to rank up there in the boring stakes for plenty.

To all those who mentioned NASCAR -

NASCAR, Formula 1, etc. are not sports.  Those events don't require athletic performance or ability, two things needed that are used in sports.

Thats why they invented 20/20 cricket which lasts for about the same length as a baseball game(roughly 3 hours)

NFL - no brainer. Most over hyped, over analysed, over rated piece of shit sport on the planet.

NASCAR - one day somebody will turn right
