[Jacko The Flopsy Piglet]

Baseball is one of those sports I enjoy watching when I'm over in the States but I can't find time for when I'm back home in Blighty. I do think it's like ODI cricket in that it has slow periods, definitely not like T20 which is more crash-bang-wallop than even Baseball.

I didn't like it at first Jacko, then I got into it. The skill level is very high. The throws from fielders to base, for example, may look routine, but boy, try throwing with that speed and accuracy.

Depends on the game whether it's exciting or boring. A 15-2 game like happened the other night would have been extremely boring for the Orioles fans who were on the losing end. But, a 1-0 tightly-pitched game in which it is in the bottom of the ninth, losing side at bat, 2 outs, bases loaded and a 3-2 count on the pitcher? That's a nailbiter.

Pei. Have to agree that a close finish in any sport is better than a one-sided hammering. For the neutral at least. Beating Leeds by 6 Again would be brill though!
