Part of the problem not mentioned here is the way the dead time is filled. It wasn't that long ago that baseball announcers had some credibility, not to mention just ability. They could keep you interested between pitches, and even educate. Now, it's meaningless (and often simply incorrect) drivel between two guys who seem to occasionally stop watching the game entirely, and just talk through the action as if we were tuning in to hear them.

The 3 hours AT a ballpark, to me, are easy. 3 hours watching them on TV? I rarely have the patience (conversely, I can sit for 3 hours solid, sometimes 6, watching football, and wonder where the time went).

Can we legislate out the stupidity in the booth?

First to go ... McCarver and Morgan.
