DODGERS VS. ANGELS!

Part of the allure of baseball is that they play almost every day, and you can catch a game regardless of what your schedule is like. Then you factor in the amount of revenue from all the games, the pitching matchups, managerial moves, and strategy is very important to navigate the whole season. If all the divison races were decided by July or August, then a change would need to be made. But every year, there's at least 2 divison and/or wild card races that come down to the last couple days of the season.

I don't think enough teams make the playoffs.and a salary cap should be in place

i think that cutting the baseball schedule in half would not only make everyone happy, but also generate more money with less games...they could put the money they put into those excessive games into marketing and what not. games would also be more intense and the athletes would be trying harder with less physical demand. baseball is dying cuz of the boredom factor.

Baseball broke its own attendance records last season.  Also last season baseball made more money than football and basketball in America.  Well baseball always has made more than basketball.  Please stick to basketball, at least when you aren't sucking the Lakers off you can come off as someone that knows a thing a or two when it comes to basketball.

The season's length is perfect.  If you were to shorten the season, you would be seeing a lot more streaky teams get in the playoffs. You'll have to have a new era of stat tracking for career and season stats which not many baseball fans will like.  A long season is one of the positive attributes of baseball, the journey from Spring Training to a World Series win is epic.  Baseball isn't close to dying, sure it's not the 70s/80s ratings wise but the attendance is still there.  Ratings for playoff games are extremely market based.  If the Red Sox would have made it the World Series...it would have gotten a shit load of more viewers than the Rays vs Phillies World Series.


Baseball is boring to the average sports fan, but if you're into it...you start seeing the excitement of pitching and hitting.  It's always an interesting battle with batter types and pitcher types.    

As usual Javii knows whats up, I completely agree that the season's length is perfect as it is.
NIK I cant believe you said that MLB should cut the season in half, you have to be kidding me.

the season is perfect length...its a fucking battle that begins on opening day, and ends on that 162nd day of battle. 

i admit, sometimes it gets a lil boring, but then the next day you get an amazing pitching duel that reminds you why you watch this game.  or you get a guy who steals 5 bases, or you get a guy who is trying to hit for the cycle...if youre lucky, you see a guy going for a no hitter, or even a perfect game.

there are so many things to enjoy in baseball. 

baseball is the only sport i know of where a lot of fans CANT WAIT for spring training (pre season games).  motherfuckers are anxious just to see their favorite players practice!! 

oh..and ROFLMAO @ "baseball is dying"..!!!! lmao  seriously?!?!  LMAO
