Because in most countries, it's all they have.

Well, baseball isn't dying because of this.......it's been dying because there's no salary cap.

Well, I'm liking MLB right now, 'cuz Matt Wieters has gunned down Carl Crawford at second twice tonight.

And I don't care that you don't care!

FYP.

Baseball is setting attendance records and making money hand over fist right now.

Baseball is dying (dead) in KC because morons are running the show there. Go to any market with a strong ballclub and you'll see that baseball is stronger than ever. Hell, a good month in KC and suddenly the Royals 'fans' were in full throat again. Baseball as an aggregate is doing great.

Baseball's always been a regional sport, even during it's 'golden' era. You fellas live in a dead region, so naturally you think it's dead. If the Royals ever put together a winning team again, you'll see 'baseball' come roaring back, when in actuality it's really just that your region finally has something to give a damn about again.

I've kinda adopted the Rockies since I live close by to Denver. And I figure that since their in the NL it doesn't affect my allegiance with the Royals.
And since the Rockies are still in a playoff hunt the answer is yes I am still watching MLB. :thumb:

Baseball is hardly "dying." The only sport doing better than it in America is the NFL.

To be fair soccer's fans riot and kill each other so they got that going for them. :D

’94 seems to be the consensus. 2 Blue Jay World Series wins and a strike was too much for most fans to take.

yeah umm the worst team in the league just paid a 20 year old pitcher who plays every 5 days like a billion dollars it's dead alright

Wieters will be the best catcher in baseball in a couple of years. Him, Markakis, Adam Jones and all those pitchers should finally make the O's competitive again.

this thread is idiotic, and not just because it was started by a donkey fan

L.A. Chieffan 09-16-2009 07:24 PM

Be careful, though.

The Orioles have been uncanny in their ability to produce highly touted pitching prospects that flame out incredibly.

Bedard was the only guy that ever came close. They had Matt Riley, Hayden Penn, Adam Loewen, Beau Hale...the list seems endless.

The Orioles always have a 'new' class of pitchers ready to turn the franchise around. Then they 'splode.

They'll hit, though, I'll give 'em that.

Yeah, but this time there's like 5 of them, so even if 3 implode we could still get 2 good pitchers out of the deal. Like the old saying.....throw enough shit against the wall, some of it's bound to stick, right? :D
