<{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Other than boring, what are your reasons for not liking soccer and baseball?</div>Soccer, I am just not a fan, I don't hate it, I just don't like it much.Baseball,If boring isn't good enough then:*The MLB's season never ends, it seems like once it is over they are already talking about the Spring Training starting.*High School Baseball games are the most boring things on the face of the earth. The time it takes between inngs are almost as long as the inngs themselves.*When they show "Top Ten plays" of baseball and they use home runs, aside from them maybe going further, they look exactly the same.*For a fan, you sit in the stands doing nothing, waiting, then the ball is finally hit, you have been waiting for some kind of action for awhile because the first two guys got out right away and did nothing. To your horror the ball is caught by the out fielder on no special catch at all, it just falls into his glove. The teams switch and the next batter is up, he gets a hit, some action finally happens, it is a grounder a few feet from first which creates an exciting race to first base, the guy slides and is safe. That took a whole three seconds. Three seconds of action to eight minutes of waiting for it, how fun.*You really can't take over a game in baseball. I mean, you can to a degree, but you can't like you can in basketball or different positions in football. So, there is no real Michael Jordan in the MLB, there can't be. Baseball isn't really built for a type of thing like that. (Aside from Pitchers).*Physical play, sure getting hit by the ball and catching it can be painful, but that is about it. You can be over weight and play this game. You can be 50 and play this game. Most injuries seem to come from running around the place than from anything else.*There isn't a
whole bunch of depth to the game. Don't get all over me for this one, but there isn't. Not when compared to football or even basketball. Plays, strategies, scouting, preparing for games, everything like that is completely different in a boring way. There are areas that have depth, but not the whole game (for example, knowning the pitchers you are going to hit against, and if you are a pitcher or catcher, knowing the hitters involves tons of this, but the whole game itself doesn't compared to other sports).*Building a team in football or basketball is so much more fun and work, in baseball, you either hit good or you don't. You either pitch good or you don't. You either field good or you don't. There isn't a whole lot of in-betweens, where as in basketball there is almost an endless suply, how do you think Reggie Evans made it in the NBA?True, because I can't stand baseball I don't watch it and some of my points may be off, but for the most part, they all have some kind of truth to them at least.But on a good note for baseball, I like watching diving catches and stuff like that, but that is about it.
