DODGERS VS. ANGELS!

I guess since the early days when baseball was the only major sport in the US, they just got use to playing many games. I could imagine back in the day they hated baseball season ended. I'm not sure, just guessing.

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.
Jaydc555:
I do enjoy baseball but its definitely the most boring game in sports.it makes curling look like motocross jumps over rivers on fire

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.
