Jacko, TV and Kingy are in the States



Jacko - "Ty, Pushup and I at the San Fran Giants game, yet to figure out how baseball is more exciting than cricket, they both pretty boring! #USA11"

Just firther proof that Jacko is clueless on so many levels, although probably not helped by it being Giants game and they as defending WS champions are having a average year

Want atmosphere at Baseball game head to New York folks = Yankee Stadium 

Or if you hate the Yankees I suggest Fenway Park home of the BoSox

Watched a game at San Diego in the owner's corporate box a few years back WP and sadly I have to agree with Jacko.  I just couldn't get the excitement around the game - as a comparison with One Day cricket it was way too stop/start for me.  Maybe they should have spent more time playing the game and less time trying to entertain the crowd with music and gimmicks?  Hello 20/20?  Then again, maybe I'm just too old-school and prefer my sport to be just that.

Jacko what an idiot... stay in the US.

[MADTIGER2010]

Jacko's right, baseball sucks. So does gridiron and ice hockey. Americans smell of horse poo

Yeah but it isn't cricket and it doesn't try to be  I suppose I'm a fan of the game first & foremost
and I really enjoy the stop start. Love watching those pitchers do there stuff
 
I went to a playoff game (division series for memery) at Yankee Stadium (old stadium) just on 4 years ago; 50k+  crowd which = 99% Yankee fans and I have to say the atmosphere was electric. The music etc just made it all the more fun IMHO

Would live to do it again and check out the new stadium

I personally don't watch baseball on tv but I would love to go and see a game live.
The atmosphere of being at big sporting events is always great.

[Oiafi]

Thank god for the entertainment between innings is all I can say. I prefer the circus, but each to their own I suppose.

That would of been a great experience. I wouldn't mind checking out an NFL game live one day.

For sure.  Each to their own and if you enjoy the game then that's all that matters.  I just struggled to get into the excitement and I went there with no preconceptions - we (wife and I) were looking forward to it, had the best seats and very patient and gracious hosts but despite my anticipation it just left me pretty flat.  The same as I struggle to get into the excitement of a live NRL game actually, although in fairness to NRL I've not been to a State Of Origin or Grand Final live.

As Homer J Simpson once said about baseball...
"I never knew how boring this game was without beer."

[Phil Mrakov]

Most boring game on earth IMO is Rugby

[TigerLand]

Ge poor old Jacko bored on a holiday watching baseball.

 

Its actually not a bad game, from a sportsmans point of view I would have thought Jacko could at least appreciate some parts of a foreign game.

Maybe cause in baseball there are no cheap hits behind play so Jacko can't relate to it very well...
