Baseball
 
Is this the most annoying and tedious sport ever?
With most major sports you get a good return on your money. Hockey has thrilling goalies, brutal body checking, on ice riots, vicious snipers and games that are actually somewhat interesting. football and rugby require not only brute force but skill, knowledge and cooperation. Baseball, on the other hand has about 2 minutes out of every inning that could actually be called sporting. Baseball is always delaying. Lets do a commercial break, lets look at the manager, the pitcher spitting naw on the mound, a guy you never heard of scratching his nads, etc.
And it always gets delayed. Its raining, hailing, drizzling, the winds blowing in the wrong direction. Time to call the game.
The players are always striking, even though the average player makes 2 million friggin' dollars a year!
The scheduling of the average game is ridiculous. You know why a die hard fan is a die hard? They got to stay up till 2 in the morning Eastern Standard Time just to figure out who won the friggin thing!
So, if you watch baseball, quit. don't do it anymore.
Please, make this boring sport go away.

Now that I come to think about it, it is a bit of a crap sport even compared to the other sports.

Reminds me of cricket. Except cricket has the classic 'bad light.' Get rid of cricket while you're at it. Please! If only for the sake of The Simpsons when C4 buy it.
