    Have you gone to a Major League game? I find that watching it on TV slows the game to a crawl at times and it really depends on the announcers when it comes to my enjoyment of the game at times but when i'm at the ballpark the game seems a lot faster and while not frenetic, it has a pace to it that's tolerable. I'm always surprised at how much time has passed when I leave the ballpark.

      Yeah, I've been to the ballpark (Turner, SkyDome, Yankee, Shea, Fenway). As long as I have someone to talk to, it's decent. I enjoy going to other sporting events more, to be honest.

        FWIW, I think that could be said for any sport when comparing watching games on TV to attending them live. That being said, baseball can be rather boring to watch on TV.

          There is no experience in the world if you are a baseball fan, like going to a live baseball game, especially when it is nice and warm out.

          Just one of the best feelings in the world. Hard to describe. Especially old parks like Fenway, and Wrigley.

            Don't get me wrong, I still want to do a MLB summer where I go to every ball park. I love the structures in the MLB, and the idea that the fields are different wherever you go. I like being at a game too.

            But if I'm bored on a Saturday in summer, I'm not going to flip on the Cardinals game. I'll catch the highlights on SportsCenter.

                    Baseball;
                    I can and will,
                    Go to it Live (preferred)
                    Watch it on TV,
                    Listen to it on the radio,
                    Listen to a streamed radio broadcast,
                    Watch the crappy gameday thing on my PC,
                    Watch it on MLB.TV,
                    Read about it in the box scores,
                    etc..

                    I will so do so Sam I am...

                        Nope, seems the Jays want to maximize attendance. They probably requested MLB to put the game on Friday night so that the first series of the year would have decent crowds (saturday, sunday)

                            I must say makes for a slow day when you can't read tweets or see what trending. Can't do nothing on there but look at your own home page.
