It's too late in the year to be playing baseball , they are going to have to shorten the play-offs some way.

[roadwarrior]

Yep, but next year they are extending the playoffs into November!

They need to cut down on the time in between the divisional series and the championship series. They could probably save a week alone there.

Let's see.

Sports going on now.

Football, basketball, baseball, ice hockey, golf, tennis, volleyball, soccer and boxing.

Glad Little League ended this summer when it did!  ;D

This reminds me of a joke that my dad is fond of telling:

Little Johnny the second grader came home from school one day and asked, "Dad, what is Groundhog Day?"

The dad thought for a moment then said, "Well, Son, in Poxatawny (sp) Pennsylvania there's this groundhog, named Phil.  And every year, on the same day, he comes out of his hole from hibernating."

Johnny says: "So why is that a big deal.  Groundhogs, squirrells, and bears all come out after hibernating.  What makes Phil so special?"

The dad laughs and answers:  "Because if Phil sees his shadow, then we will have 6 more weeks of basketball"

I'd love to see this, but I'd settle for cheaper hot dogs.

They need to cut the whole regular season in half.

Why would you promote this?

[tipptruck1]

I could care less if baseball season is cut in half. But the NBA, NHL, and MLB Don't need a month or two of playoffs. I only watch baseball from june to september. Hockey and racing in the spring and if racing gets in the way durning the summer. Then football in the fall. But I have heard the nfl wants to play pre season games in spring. COme on I only need football 6 months a year.

Why would you promote this?

I wouldn't promote it, it's just my opinion.

I played ball for a bunch of years growing up and I still love the game, dont get me wrong. I just think they play too many games to keep my interest for 6 months +

Something I would be willing to promote is a pitch clock. I can flip every channel between pitches these days....I just don't have the attention span for a guy to tighten his batting gloves, knock off his cleats, get his shirt right, and adjust himself so he can just step back in, leave the bat on his shoulder and 'take' a pitch. Then after he has taken the pitch (and not done anything except take one step forward into the batters box and then one step back out) he has to readjust everything all over again? Come on. Life's too short. Watch Nomar in between pitches, it's brutal.

[Hookemdown.]

The only think I wish they would change in baseball is the start time of the playoff games.  I like staying up until midnight watching games, they need to start earlier.
