OMG *yawn*

i really dont know how people can watch it on TV

Soccer is really a boring sport because their is a lack of scoring. But I happened to watch a little bit of Italy and France playing and I have to admit that i got drawn in. Maybe because i'm Italian and biased a little bit. Oh yes, I loved the outcome.

The one thing I can't stand watching is pool! I'm talking about the regular tourney games. I can handle the trick shot competitions, those are cool.

i would think because a trick shot is like a little magic show

something we cant all do

run around for an hour chasing a soccer ball not scoring is something i can do

WHAT...

For me despite living in the Bronx it's baseball. Baseball is nothing more than a half hour game that they stretch out into 3 and a half hours. My favorite is when a pitcher has to throw to first base 15 times to keep a 38 year old DH close to the bag obviously for no reason whatsoever save he doesn't want to pitch or is stalling for time. Stalling for time! That's another big part of the game. Someone always seems to be stalling for time and they have like a thousand ways to do it too!!! Some spectator sport huh? Ironically on the subject of boring baseball, comedian George Carlin also was discussing it's boringness and came up with some ways to speed up the game and make it more interesting:

1. When a pitcher hits you with the ball you're out. You can knock the whole game out in 20 minutes.
2. Each batter gets 1 swing. Make it count!
3. Put landmines in the outfield. Granted this one might perhaps be controversial but imagine a guy going back...way back for a ball hit deep and BOOM!!! Time to send a new guy off the bench into right field.

While George was doing his routine and not serious (I think!) still think baseball is the most drawn out sport there is. Just a bunch of guys standing around. It's like golf except they run a path after hitting the ball. YAWN!!!

Oh, you really really should have left that part out.
Better at an advanced age than still wet behind the ears and extremely childish.

And some of us are definitely getting better. Others are just getting older. I will use no names here but as someone once said, "You know who you are."

I am calling it Bette in 7...Simon gets out to a quick start, but he has no stamina...I think Bette brings it on in the 5th and finishes him with a TKO in the 7th...
