I'll tell you who I've got- Hawaii/San Jose St. And it's not just because I might get a glimpse of the lovely Brandi.
Maybe she can tell you why there's an apostrophe in Hawai'i.
Now, I'm on the record as to my feelings on regular season baseball- it's boring, it's largely inconsequential, and you're pretty much just sitting around waiting for the good Lord to call you back home. Counter that to college football, in which every game is important and there is no tomorrow for teams like Hawaii if they slip up once against a team like SJ St. It's essentially like telling the Yankees that if they lose to the Rays, they're no longer eligible for any sort of championship.
But I've always just kept this opinion to regular season baseball, on account of its length and the asinine idea that games in May aren't as important as games in September (news flash: a game is a game is a game, if you win two in May then you don't need to win one in September- just look at the Yankees trying to catch the Red Sox this year). So now that the playoffs are here, and we're even past the Divisional Series, into the thick of it with the LCS games, I thought, "Hey, maybe I'll take in the BoSox game tonight." And then I hit myself with a hammer.
And you ask, "Why, Italiangator, why oh why would you do that?" Well, I'll tell you. Because baseball is still boring. And now that it's the playoffs, games become even longer. You're sitting through 3+ hours hoping that something will happen in the last inning and a half. It's rigoddamndiculous. And let me say something else- everyone who ever says that soccer is boring is banned from ever watching baseball again, because when you compare two 45-minute halves of continuous action with a short break in the middle to a baseball game that's in commercial every 6 minutes, it's no contest. Nor can anyone call soccer boring who only has ever watched an MLS game or a U.S. National game- that's like watching high school football on TV and coming away unimpressed.
Anyways, as is clear by now, this post was solely conceived to pimp soccer and downgrade baseball (YOU DON'T DOWNGRADE A SPORT WHO COMES OUT EVERY DAY AND DOES ALL THE RIGHT THINGS! YOU COME AFTER ME! I'M A REAL SPORT! I'M 40!- see, I knew I could bring it all back around to football)
At any rate, if you're looking for something to watch, throw on some Hawaii- while I might hate putting them in my blogpoll every week, they're still pretty damn entertaining. Or, you can go out and have a real life with real people, but that's pretty overrated. Just as overrated as baseball.
