1) When do these people practice? 162 games over 7 months or so. Allen Iverson may have chosen the wrong sport. “We're sitting here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we're talking about practice. I mean listen, we're sitting here talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, but we're talking about practice. Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last but we're talking about practice man. How silly is that?”
2) This year, the first regular season game was played on March 25. The following day the league continued with their preseason schedule.
3) Is there a more boring game to listen to on the radio or watch on TV? Hold on, let me check. Okay, after much research I’ve determined that golf is, in fact, more boring to listen to and watch.
4) Except for the handful of interleague games, half the league NEVER plays the other half. This week the White Sox played the Dodgers for the first time since the 1950’s!!!
5) It's the same 5 teams every year that compete for a title. Everyone else's responsibility is to play those teams.
6) The New York Yankees
7) Biggest story of the last ten years- Steroid and HGH (and a stained sock).
8) Having to hear the daily question, "Are you a Cubs fan or a Sox fan?"
9) Even worse, listening to daily radio conversation chastising fans for not supporting both teams. Leave me alone.
10) 75% of fans that attend the game could not tell you the final score (ya know… because they’re drunk).
11) Wrigleyville. Top 3 most annoying places in the world behind Disneyland's "It's a small world" ride and sitting next to Bill Walton at a basketball game.
12) $12 beers. For the average 250lb fan, it'll take em $70 to get a buzz. And if you’re a Sox fan, that’s a lot of drugs to sell.
13) There's more than 1 team named after colored socks.
14) Sportscenter's Top plays- Is it just me or is every single baseball highlight the same. A home run isn't a highlight, it’s just a replay that we’ve seen a million times before.
15) The DH- This person sits on the bench all day except for the 4 times he gets up to take a few swings. Usually he misses.
16) I timed an average of 26 seconds between pitches. But on the positive side, we get to listen to the announcers talk about what their grandkid did this weekend.
17) Average of 1 minute and 49 seconds between meaningful events (most often a fly out, strike out or a walk). I wanna kill that guy’s grandson.
18) Is it a fair? Is it foul? Who knows? Major league baseball: "We're not sure if it's fair or foul and we haven't been sure for 150 years, but this year- mid season- we're starting replay. Happy now???"
19) The best thing about the Cubs is that they HAVEN’T won in 100 years.
20) Pitchers rehab by throwing towels for 2 weeks.
21) Home run record broken!!! (6 months later). Home run record broken!!!
22) A pitcher "makes history" by throwing a no hitter. The next no-hitter will be the 257th. How has something that's happened 256 times still considered "history?"
23) It's more about pitcher vs pitcher than team vs team. In fact, it’s barely a team sport.
24) Baseball is the only sport where managers wear the same clothes as the players. Could you imagine Phil Jackson rocking a #23 purple Lakers Jersey.
25) This list was entirely too easy to make.

Baseball is America's past time. Its the best summer sport. You don't get it I-truth
You have got to be kidding right? I mean, how could you say soccer is more exciting to watch than baseball? A "good" soccer game has MAYBE 2 combined goals. The rest of the time they run back and forth all over the field doing nothing.
Boooooooooooooring.
baseball is the worst sport. If they shortened the season to 82 games like basketball they may be more meaningful......
SCREW MLB
Baseball is America's most meaningless past time.
I-Truth 1 MLB 0
I dont understand how he doesnt get it...he nailed it right on the head. Baseball does not have true athletes. They may be skilled in hitting a small white ball that is coming at them really fast and yet when they start running to first they will pull a hammy becasue of their sheer unathleticism. Baseball players get paid millions and millions of dollars for standing around or sitting in the dugout half the time. There is nothing fast paced about the sport it is slow, non physical, and simply an old fashioned sport that needs to become out of date. Football and hockey have true athletes that put their bodies on the line while having to be skilled at a position. You get hit by a pitch you get a little boo boo and take your base. You get him by a guy running/skating full speed at you, you can get a concussion or worse....Thats putting your body on the line. And to top it all off you are expected to finish the play, get up, and do the next play 20 seconds later. Or in hockey get up and stop being a pansy and finish your shift. Baseball is a non contact sport for girls, football and hockey are contact sports that are for REAL MEN.
Baseball SUCKS!
