Opening Day

It’s opening day of the baseball season today.  Whatever.  Of the big sports in the US, I find baseball the most difficult to watch – slow, boring and unsuited to modern times.  Not unlike cricket, but at least cricket has big Australian cheating scandals to capture the public’s interest.  Mind you, baseball is not short of a scandal or two of its own (ahem, steroids, ahem).  Regardless, I shall not be following baseball much this season – not much is expected of either the Seattle or San Diego teams, yet again, and as always most of the baseball coverage tends to focus on just the few teams with big money.  When you see how lame “baseball highlights” are in YouTube videos compared to similar compilations for other sports, it is no wonder that America’s pastime is past it’s time.
