2 hours 40 minutes and still 7th inning

This baseball game is much too long. And what's with all the spitting? Is baseball the only sport where everyone spits constantly? I think I prefer sports with clocks and more tidy benches.

I didn't know my grandma knew how to use a computer! Hi Grammy!

Nobody in Chicago or Cleveland cares what you think.

Spitting in baseball?? Say it ain't so.

How do you feel about them re-racking every 14.7 seconds?

In all the outdoor sports I played or even observed at any level, there was plenty of spitting and messy benches. Sometimes dirt got on the uniforms, too. And there was sweat. Lots and lots of sweat.

No spitting, clocks, neat benches.... so chess, maybe?

In cricket, I believe they take a break in the game called a tea interval, and they all wear nice sweaters.

I was being sarcastic of course. Not sure others recognized that. It was a shame the game ended so late that many kids probably weren't able to stay up for it.

The Internet's reliance on emoji and emoticons has pretty much killed people's ability to detect sarcasm. I predict that satire will be a dead art form in 20 years.

Greatest game seven in years and I doubt many young kids got a chance to see it. This has to be addressed. I get the feeling in a few years most of the country will be sick and tired of the Cubs' winning ways. They look like a dynasty in the making.
