Mix it with politics. Now, no one will be able to stay awake and the terrorists will have won. Wow Adam, you’ve found a way to make baseball even more boreing. Mix it with politics.

And Murray -- Baseball boring? As one who grew up with Ernie Harwell's voice in my ear on a warm summer night while I sat on the porch rocking in the glider, I can never accept the idea of baseball as boring. Strategic, nuanced, rhythmic, yes. But never boring. I can’t WAIT till they play an away game in San Francisco!!

It don't much more exciting than that. It's all in what you are looking for. I'm not sure that the Nats are what you are looking for though.

I’m not sure that the Nats are what you are looking for though.

Baseball boring? No way! Baseball to me means summer, sun, lemonade, and hot dogs. And no school. I've always said that basketball is for those unenlightened souls who can't appreciate the subtle choreography of a good infield. Or who don't have a very long attention span. And PacBell Park is a downright gorgeous place to spend an afternoon. What? Baseball boring? No way! Baseball to me means summer, sun, lemonade, and hot dogs. And no school.

Please John, sports is the one place in life where "winning" is never figurative. And believe me, a fan of the game doesn't need a rooting stake to enjoy a good game--of course, not all games qualify (there are plenty of dogs), and it helps for <i>someone</i> to care, even if it ain't you... As a former Washingtonian, the ironic quotes here belong to "Washington"--DC is way more than the putzes down by the Mall. Funny as usual, Adam, but you must do penance for taking the holy name of Frank Robinson in vain. BTW, the real-life Nats pulled one out against the Braves tonight to go 4-4 and tied for second in the NL East. m “wins” ???

Pretty damned clever post, Adam. I skipped it the first time I saw it, then came back. Once I got going, I wanted more.
