Not enough baseball fans.
 

This oughta stir the pot.

I hope it qualifies as trolling.

Silly guy.

Yes, they did. Despite the baseball experts.

Yankees, Niners, Devils, what a year for me!

Notice I left the Knicks out, they have not won in my lifetime, and most likely will not until the year after I die.

Yankees already beat the second best team in baseball. I would be worried over there in the National league.

Shut up.

Trying living in Cleveland.

My baseball season ended in July.

Not much interest in baseball to be honest. Of all the pro leagues, it would be the one that I watch the least.

It's boring and the games sometimes can go on forever....

With the NHL still locked out and ESPN still in my cable package I am watching a lot of baseball these days.

I am not happy about this.

That's a lot longer than ours. Salt Lake doesn't have a team at all.

Which is okay by me. I used to love to play baseball. Watching it never turned me on.

STL CARDINALS FOR LIFE!!!!! :rock:

I don't find baseball boring at all, I find football boring and that's mostly due to the long ad breaks. Two or three plays and off to the ad breaks. :dead:

Different tastes I guess, nothing wrong with that.

I was opposite. Loved baseball. Football was a sport that made no sense to me. No I love football. Baseball not so much. I was a Orioles fan back in the nineties. Fifteen year slump one looses interest.

I have to admit that is part of it AVG, the slumping, I am Blue Jays fan. Plus it is hard investing in a team when you know your better players will eventually sign for bigger $$ elsewhere.

:rotfl2:

Too true. A few years ago we had an ad for our basketball team in which a kid says "When I grow up I want to play for the Utah Jazz!" I laughed out loud, because even if he excels at the sport and becomes a professional, the chances of being picked up by your own hometown team are minimal. Most of the players are from somewhere else, and for the very reason you state.

This is why I don't watch any professional sports anymore. It's only your "home" team because they play in a stadium in your town. There is no real loyalty in that regard, and probably never was, at least in the major leagues.

One reason for lower interest in baseball over the years is the fact that a handful of teams have so much capital that they dominate.I noticed that the baseball strikes back in the 90's really hurt and some fans have never come back.

I grew up as a big Dodgers and Rams fan. Attended the first game the Dodgers played in LA. Use to attend all the Ram home games, general admission seats were $5.00 back then.

Really lost touch with them when I moved to Reno.

Now there are so many teams and players you hardly get to know them and they chance teams like underwear, I've lost interest except for the playoffs and such.

The Cardinals V Nationals game last night was a very good game and a heart breaker for the Nats. Almost the same thing happened to the Tigers tonight.

Hate to see that Jeter is one heck of a player. Broken ankle.
