The ratings for this year's world series are down 31% compared to last year

Shrek on NBC beat out the WS. That's all one needs to know about the state of baseball these days. Unless you are in San Fran or Arlington NO-ONE cares

I wouldn't say that I don't care, but its just not any fun to watch an entire baseball game on TV. Players are slow, pitchers are slow, there is no action between pitches, ... I usually just tune in to check the score and then go back to College football or whatever else in on. If it's late in the game and close, then i watch.

Basically, we all love baseball, we are umpires, but we know the game is really BORING! And it's getting worse instead of better.

At least in NFL you have something going on even between plays. NBA has a shot clock, MLB has nothing, even the managers are boring to watch in todays game.

Thanks
David
