I don't think the average person enjoys watching a game on TV, because its slow and methodical.

Too slow for the modern paced lifestyle.

Baseball apologists always have to defend their loser lifestyle.

You can probably guess which four cities had the increases, by the way.

I don't even care about baseball, but I'm not a fan of letting people get away with talking out of their ass.

tk13 · 10-03-2007, 08:38 PM

Okay, 7 teams didn't have increases, haha. I stand corrected. I think I might have misread Houston.

For what it's worth, if we assume that those four cities had ZERO change from last year to this year, there is still a 2.3% increase in overall attendance from last year to this year.

Thanks for doing the math, but I'm sure the guy was trying to say that only Big-Market teams were the ones having increases when in-fact it was the opposite. Good job Van Halen for looking extremely uninformed and spreading useless information.

That was heartbreaking. They just showed a shot of Muhammad Ali at the Diamondbacks game and as the camera was rolling, he slobbered all over himself and had to have someone wipe it up. I'm glad he is out and enjoying himself, but sad that the camera had to catch him at that moment.

Nah, Marlboro liked baseball. He neg-repped me once because he got Rich Harden and Dan Haren confused and I corrected him.

Yup and the Colts-Cowboys pre-season game got more viewers than Bonds record home run.

The Broncos also got better TV ratings this past weekend than the Rockies at a near 5:1 ratio

tk13 · 10-03-2007, 08:58 PM

I didn't say baseball was doing better than the NFL. I'd never even suggest that, but it's not dying either. That's what I was saying, you're going too far the other way there.

I gotta say the broadcasting crew is just terrible.

16 NFL games, 162 MLB games, the NFL BETTER be getting more viewers than baseball, otherwise that would spell BIG trouble for the National Football League...
