I think I may be starting to understand why so many people find baseball so boring. It's hard to be into a sport where the penultimate competition is completely lopsided and uninteresting. It wouldn't be so bad if that was an occasional occurrence, but the World Series for the last 3 or 4 years has been a death march of 4-0 or 4-1 series victories. I was really hoping that this year would be the year of breaking that trend, but I was disappointed once again. The World Series was a complete waste of my time and completely uninspiring. I didn't even care who won; I just wanted a fun series to watch.
What's even worse is that the playoffs leading up to the big show were equally uninspiring. The only series worth watching was Cleveland and Boston. And the networks wonder why no one tunes in for the baseball playoffs. They're about as exciting as watching paint dry. No amount of Dane Cook and "There's only one October" could salvage the postseason this year. Good riddance 2007.

boring playoffs? Try the whole season...
maybe they should play more games.
The bad thing about baseball, is when the players are doing their jobs on the field the whole game is a grind. It isn't like basketball where someone scores every 30 seconds.
And in the past couple of seasons, some teams make it to the post season that people want to see play, but then the Yankees just swoop in and nobody cares. The best recent post season was when Boston came back from three games to win the series. That was awesome.
