Bottomeline. Baseball stinks.

If I want to watch any baseball, I watch A.) Little League Worlds Series or B.) the college softball (woman)

Or the movie Major League.

I can't take the sport anymore. All i hear is negative this and negative that.

I guess no one listens to Neil Diamond anymore.

Touch of old time. Cory Snyder, this Buds for you.
