Ummm...I appreciate that I don't understand the niceties of baseball, being english, but how can it be the "Bets Game Evar" when nothing happens? I mean, football (soccer, for any and all americans out there) matches often go to 0-0 draws, but then I don't find many of them interesting. Cricket is even more boring, but at least things happen in every over. I've probably got the wrong end of the stick here, but why is it that people will sit down and watch very boring stuff, and pay to do so?
