I agree..baseball is boring.<br><br>Of course most sports are boring to me.<br><br>

I'm with Michael...to me baseball is boring. <br>I would much rather see a bunch of 300 pound behemoths beating up on each other.<br>My best friend is a huge Red Sox fan.

On TV, yes. Live and in person? Really great drama.<br><br>

It's not a sport. It's a pastime. <br><br>
