I love watching golf. It's like test cricket. You just turn it on in the morning and chill out on the sofa with one eye on it drinking multiple cups of tea for the next 6 hours. Great way to spend a hungover Sunday. Maybe I would like baseball.

Recently they actually have some of the longest and most boring matches of the season, but yes, it is almost worth it when they start tossing pitches at each other's heads.Originally Posted by Shiny
I love baseball. It's probably my favorite sport, especially to see live. I go to several (but not enough!) Cinci Reds games each year, and even though they lose about 90% of the games I go to, and even though the beer is RIDICULOUSLY priced, I still enjoy the smurf out of it.
I'm one of those odd people who can watch it on TV, too, though I don't watch very many games during the season that aren't Reds games.
The statistics are a math nerd's wet dream. I especially love that players have both offensive and defensive numbers that have to be weighed against each other, and it's great fun to see how the math translates into actually gameplay, including those games or unexpected plays that contradict the stats. So-and-so has never gotten a hit against a lefty in August on a Friday and he has to get one now or the game's over. <nervous anticipation>Holy trout, a hit!</nervous anticipation> <jumpupanddownandcheerandbeer>
